Now, the Pentagon must decide the fate of some 27,000 Mine Resistant, Ambush-Protected vehicles (MRAPs).

In part 3 of her military equipment drawdown series, RT Correspondent Meghan Lopez takes a closer look at these costly vehicles and the fight over their future.

Digital rights groups are mobilizing over rumors the Federal Communications Commission may be about to abandon the principle of net neutrality.

Executive vice president of the National Hispanic Media Coalition Jessica Gonzalez speaks with RT's Ameera David to break down net neutrality and what it means for the public.
