If you’ve been following the fight to regain net neutrality closely, you may have seen some optimistic news break this week. Tweets and headlines may have you believe that we’ve reached a major milestone in the effort to restore federal net neutrality protections, but many of these reports are getting ahead of themselves.

Here’s what happened: Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) has gotten the support of 29 other senators for his plan to introduce a resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act. This would, if successful, overturn the Federal Communication Commission’s decision last month to scrap federal net neutrality rules. At least 30 senators have to support this kind of resolution for it to make it to a vote, so when Senator Claire Mccaskill (D-MO) threw her support behind it yesterday afternoon, they passed that threshold.
