If Carr continues down this route,

"IF"?!? The Chairman of the FCC overtly threatened to pull the license of any broadcast station that doesn't portray the news in a way this administration likes. Outside of actually doing it what more could he possibly do?
I mean the statement alone is enough to chill free speech and will now leave the viewer to question if he is getting the real news or just mandatory propaganda in favor of this administration.

Damn it. Actually do something. You know you don't have to all show up. You can continuously deny them a quorum and thereby prevent all votes.
In the Senate it's even easier. I mean that idiot from Alabama stopped the military promotions for weeks but somehow Democrats in the minority are powerless?
