We must pass my Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act to ensure that President Trump, or any President, cannot use the FCC to steamroll over the constitution and silence dissent. [4/4]

After immense public outcry, Disney eventually reversed course—proof that the voices of Americans under the protection of the First Amendment are stronger than this administration’s disregard for the Constitution. But, this abuse of power can’t happen again. [3/4]
But the Trump Administration doesn’t see it that way. They’ve twisted the Constitution into a one-way street that only protects them. That’s why President Trump, after years of threats, weaponized the FCC to pressure Disney into pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air. [2/4]
The First Amendment is crystal clear. In America, EVERYONE has the freedom to express their ideas, beliefs, and opinions. Our country was built on that principle. [1/4]

Rolling back these standards will result in dirtier air, higher costs, and lost jobs. Climate denial cannot dictate policy. Our future is not for sale. [2/2]
The Trump Administration is trying to erase vehicle pollution standards and overturn proven climate science – all to pad the pockets of Trump's polluter friends. That’s why I led over 100 of my colleagues to demand the EPA reverse course. [1/2]
There is no debate. These vaccines are safe and effective. Silencing medical experts and pushing fringe theories is reckless and deadly. Talk to your doctor and protect your loved ones. [2/2]
RFK’s handpicked panel of vaccine skeptics is putting lives in danger. They are restricting childhood vaccines and making it harder for adults under 65 to protect themselves from COVID. [1/2]

NEW: E&C Dems call on FCC's Inspector General to investigate Chairman Brendan Carr after blatantly unconstitutional effort to take Jimmy Kimmel off air.

My Democratic colleagues and I are standing up to stop Republicans’ cuts to our health care system, lower costs, and bring down premiums.
We will not rubber-stamp another reckless Republican effort that deepens a crisis they have created. I voted NO on their continuing resolution.
If a shutdown happens, it’s because Republicans chose to serve themselves—not you.
I stand with a united Democratic Party to make it clear: we're here to serve the people, keep the gov't open, & reject another reckless funding package that only advances Donald Trump’s distorted vision of America.
House Republicans just pushed through an empty funding resolution that ignores the looming spike in health care premiums if we don’t extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.
They are so deep in Donald Trump’s pocket that they refuse to even negotiate to save Americans money. [1/2]
The First Amendment is clear. All Americans have the right to express themselves freely.
My Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act will prevent the weaponization of the FCC and stop them from telling broadcasters what they can and cannot say.
We must have zero tolerance for political violence. We must also have zero tolerance for government censorship.
That’s why I am demanding FCC Chairman Brendan Carr sits for an oversight hearing so we can find out why he thinks the constitution doesn’t apply to him.
Soon we'll see the result; fewer people connected with slower, less reliable, and more expensive service. Stop the sabotage. Restore BEAD’s original mission. [2/2]
BEAD is a $42B promise to connect every home and business. The Trump Administration keeps moving the goal posts, freezing funds, rewriting rules, and floating arbitrary price caps that will gut quality for the most vulnerable. [1/2]
Local leaders are on the front lines. Mayors in my district are ready to move heaven and earth to connect their communities.
Our job isn't to tie their hands—it's to help them succeed. [3/3]
At Leataata Floyd Elementary in Sacramento, where over 95 percent of students come from low-income households, parents face impossible choices between food and broadband.
They’re counting on us to deliver affordable broadband access—quickly and responsibly. [2/3]
In my district, thousands are being left behind as our world goes digital. They’re struggling to pay bills, see a doctor, and work or attend class from home. [1/3]
The First Amendment isn’t possessed by one political party, it applies to ALL Americans. This is as basic as it gets.
If Republicans are serious about protecting free speech, then they will pass my Broadcast Freedom and Independence Act now. [2/2]
