Trump is weaponizing the FCC to hold these companies hostage due to his thin skin, and they’re caving. We must speak out and hold them all accountable.

The FCC is controlled by Trump appointees and chaired by Project 2025 author Brendan Carr. Therefore, these corporations are bowing to Trump so their mergers can go through.
Paramount, owner of CBS, wanted to merge with Skydance, which, you guessed it, also needed FCC approval. It received that approval exactly one week after CBS cancelled Colbert's show.
Nexstar took Kimmel off the air for 33 ABC affiliate stations, leading to the show being canceled. They are the largest broadcaster in this country and are currently trying to acquire another company to cover 80% of the country, but that requires FCC approval first.
For decades, late-night TV hosts have poked fun at politicians of both sides, but Donald “Snowflake” Trump couldn’t take it. This slow drip towards authoritarianism is no joke.
Want to know the real reason why Kimmel and Colbert are being silenced? Corporate greed and corruption. 🧵
I invited Dr. Adil Husain to my office to share his recent experience treating patients in Gaza.
His story is a gut-wrenching reminder that we cannot continue to use our tax dollars to fund a genocide. It’s why I am co-leading the Block the Bombs Act!
It seems like the Trump Administration has a personal vendetta against the LGBTQI+ community, targeting us at every turn. On today's episode, I chat with @hrc.org's Kelley Robinson about how we fight back.

We need Republicans to stop their reckless policies that are driving up prices and work with us to make life more affordable.
Republicans are barreling ahead with a partisan CR and ignoring the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits that millions rely on. Too many Americans will see their premiums skyrocket unless we extend them!
Since 2022, Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 10 Americans in the West Bank & Gaza.
No one has been held accountable.
I’m joining the families in demanding the U.S. do what it would anywhere else: conduct independent investigations and hold the killers responsible.
Today is National Voter Registration Day! Democracy works best when everyone has a voice. Make sure you’re registered to vote now at Vote.Gov.
I’ll be holding a press conference with @jayapal.house.gov, Rep. Tlaib, @repsummerlee.bsky.social, @ramirez.house.gov, and family members of Americans killed by Israeli settlers and forces at 10:30am ET today. Watch live on TikTok.
I’ll be live on @cspanwj.bsky.social in just a few minutes. Tune in!
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! I’m excited to celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of the Hispanic community.
Diversity is our strength, and both south central Wisconsin and the country would not be the same without the invaluable contributions of the Hispanic community.
It’s simple. Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House. If they shut down the government, it’s on them.
Interested in attending a U.S. Service Academy? Join my office this Wednesday at the Madison Public Library to learn more about the nomination process.
Go to pocan.house.gov/services/military-academy-nominations to learn more and RSVP.
Some good news from earlier this week. A federal court has upheld an $83.3 million jury award against Trump for defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll after sexually abusing her, denying his request for presidential immunity.
A victory for survivors of sexual assault and the rule of law.
The United States is fueling genocide in Gaza, arming Netanyahu’s extremist government with weapons that have contributed to the deaths of 60,000+ people.
This must end! I’m a proud co-lead of the Block the Bombs Act to cut off the weapons responsible for these atrocities.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this will kill seniors.
@schakowsky.house.gov and I introduced a resolution condemning this disastrous idea and calling for CMS to immediately reverse course.
