Mystic Alerts Act
The Senate considered the Mystic Alerts Act, which would allow wireless emergency alerts to be sent to phones by satellite in addition to over regular cell networks. Participating providers would tell the FCC whether they will offer satellite alerts, and the FCC would set the technical rules; subscribers could opt out. Senator Cornyn urged immediate passage, citing the deadly July 2025 Texas flooding in which the Guadalupe River rose rapidly and cell towers lost power, saying satellite alerts could reach people when terrestrial networks fail. Senator Coons spoke largely about a different subject, urging the Senate to take up bipartisan AI regulation and whistleblower protection bills when it returns from recess.Written by AI from the debate.
