    If Republicans hold the Senate and refuse to nominate any of Biden's FCC appointments... then critics of Section 230 will make up a majority of the FCC by 2022 https://www.politico.com/...

    This is why that scumbag @AjitPaiFCC stepped down early: To screw the Biden administration and leave things even worse for consumers and America for years. Truly a selfish, heinous garbage person. https://twitter.com/...

    Senate just voted 49-47 on cloture vote to give a five year FCC spot to an unqualified Trump sycophant. Final vote at 4PM should look the same. The goal: to attack free speech online and mire the Biden FCC in partisan gridlock for years to come. https://www.vice.com/...

    cloture vote roll call here, if you'd like to see which Senators couldn't care less about an FCC commissioner having absolutely no experience whatsoever for the position he's being appointed to: https://www.senate.gov/...
