NEW Facebook is now censoring the fact that @VP Harris has failed to connect even one person to the Internet despite leading the Administration’s $42 billion infrastructure plan for 1,000+ days. Facebook is labeling this “false information,” not because anyone has been connected—no one has—but because the government has been spending money while not connecting anyone. Worse? The fact checker’s only sources are Biden-Harris officials. I thought Zuckerberg promised Congress that it had stopped censoring posts at the behest of the Biden-Harris Administration.

NEW The FCC just released the text of its 3-2 decision to approve a Soros backed group’s purchase of 200+ radio stations. The Commission’s decision today is unprecedented. Never before has the Commission voted to approve the transfer of a broadcast license—let alone the transfer of broadcast licenses for over 200 radio stations across more than 40 markets—without following the requirements and procedures codified in federal law. Not once. https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-approves-license-transfer-new-audacy

The FCC just ordered every broadcaster to start posting a race & gender scorecard that breaks down the demographics of their workforce. Activists lobbied for this b/c they want to see businesses pressured into hiring people based on their race & gender. Courts have already overturned the FCC *twice* for pressuring broadcasters into making hiring decisions in violation of the Constitution. I dissent. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-24-18A2.pdf

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires that the government keep this type of data confidential when it is collected by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission. But the FCC goes another way—one that violates the Constitution, as courts already found in two prior FCC cases.
@BrendanCarrFCC - Brendan Carr
This is no benign disclosure regime either. The evidentiary record makes clear that the FCC has chosen to publish these scorecards for one and only one reason—to ensure that businesses are targeted and pressured into making decisions based on a person’s race and gender.
@BrendanCarrFCC - Brendan Carr
Let’s start with the FCC’s track record of pressuring broadcasters into discriminating on the basis of race and gender in violation of the equal protection guarantees of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

In Lutheran Church, the court reviewed an earlier FCC effort to use the same scorecard at issue here. The court determined that the FCC’s decision in that case to mandate that broadcasters compare their employees with the general population in their area across race and gender categories operated to “pressure license holders to engage in race-conscious hiring.” The court then concluded that the FCC had violated the Constitution because its “regulations pressure stations to maintain a workforce that mirrors the racial breakdown of their [area].”

After that court loss, the FCC went back to the drawing board. But it drew up the same plan — to pressure broadcasters into hiring based on race and gender in violation of the Constitution. As with the first set of rules, these second ones made clear that if a broadcaster’s workforce did not demonstrate that its outreach or recruitment efforts were reaching the entire community, then the FCC expected the broadcaster to modify those efforts and in some cases face an FCC investigation. Focusing on how those rules would operate in the real world, the court found that the FCC’s regulations did more than encourage broad outreach—they made clear that “the agency with life and death power over the licensee is interested in results, not process, and it is determined to get them.” The FCC's approach “clearly does create pressure to focus recruiting efforts upon women and minorities” in violation of the Fifth Amendment, the court determined. Thus, the FCC secured a second and deserved L.

The FCC's history of unconstitutional conduct is not a trivial matter. The Supreme Court has stated that “[d]istinctions between citizens solely because of their ancestry are by their very nature odious to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine of equality.” Likewise, the Supreme Court has written that racial classifications “threaten to stigmatize individuals by reason of their membership in a racial group and to incite racial hostility.”

Last year, after Elon Musk acquired Twitter, President Biden gave federal agencies the green light to go after him. And they have. Today, the FCC adds itself to the growing list of federal agencies engaging in the regulatory harassment of Elon Musk. I dissent. https://t.co/1zEoGCwiNk
@BrendanCarrFCC - Brendan Carr
President Biden stood at a White House podium & stated that Elon Musk “is worth being looked at.” When asked "How?", President Biden responded “There’s a lot of ways.” There certainly are. The DOJ, FAA, FTC, NLRB, SDNY, & FWS have all taken action. The FCC now joins them.
@BrendanCarrFCC - Brendan Carr
Today, the FCC voted in favor of President Biden’s plan for “digital equity.” I dissented because the plan amounts to an unlawful power grab that gives the government a roving mandate to micromanage nearly every aspect of how the Internet functions. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-398477A3.pdf ⬆️ https://t.co/ENZqCDRPVx
