FCC Commissioner. Latina-American. Communications attorney and tech nerd. Dog mom.
The FCC's plan to roll back cybersecurity protections in response to the Salt Typhoon hack is not a cybersecurity strategy.
It is a hope and a dream that will leave Americans less protected than they were the day the Salt Typhoon breach was discovered. 🧵

Nexstar and Sinclair are two large corporate behemoths.
They are imposing their values upon the local affiliates.
And they are putting their corporate interest above the public interest.

I am glad to see Disney find its courage in the face of clear government intimidation.
More importantly, I want to thank those Americans from across the ideological spectrum who spoke loudly and courageously against this blatant attempt to silence free speech. 🧵

Jimmy Kimmel's show involves comedy and satire.
It is not news. It is not meant to inform the public about a newsworthy event.
No FCC rules were violated. The FCC has no business threatening broadcasters or censoring speech it does not like.

This Administration is increasingly using the weight of government power to suppress lawful expression.
But that does not give the FCC the authority, the ability, or the constitutional right to police content or punish broadcasters for speech the government does not like.

The FCC licenses local broadcasters, not the national networks.
It has no authority to pull their licenses. But the threats are the point.
That's why ABC's capitulation is so disappointing. We cannot allow these corporate parents to trade away our First Amendment freedoms.

From the WSJ Editorial Board:
"The political cycle of using government to punish opponents is taking the country into dark corners that will result in less freedom, and less free speech, for all sides. The best immediate remedy is getting the FCC out of the business of regulating media."
I agree.

I agree with these lawmakers led by @repbarragan.bsky.social.
The FCC is defying the law by refusing to enforce rules to reduce out-of-control prison call rates.
All to protect kickbacks for correctional facilities at the expense of the families of extremely vulnerable populations.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.
This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Apparently, having a different opinion than the Administration is now political bias.
This Administration wants to go after anyone it disagrees with.
That is a clear violation of the First Amendment and the law.

Those now feigning concern over low public trust in the media are the same ones who spent the last decade attacking and deliberately sowing distrust in media.
We must fight back against efforts to intimidate and harass anyone who questions power.

After months of cowardly capitulation to this Administration, Paramount finally got what it wanted.
Now it's time for companies, journalists, and citizens alike to stand up and speak out, because unchecked and unquestioned power has no rightful place in America.

In yet another cynical bid to win FCC regulatory approval, T-Mobile is making a mockery of its professed commitment to eliminating discrimination, promoting fairness, and amplifying underrepresented voices.
History will not be kind to this cowardly corporate capitulation.

Instead of standing on principle, Paramount opted for a payout. That decision now casts a long shadow over the integrity of the transaction pending before the FCC.
I once again urge the FCC to bring this matter before the full Commission for a vote. 🧵

It is delaying implementation of the bipartisan Martha Wright-Reed Act, a bill authored by Senator @duckworth.senate.gov that ensures prison communications are priced fairly and no longer exploit incarcerated people and their families. 🧵

By taking away funding for the 988 Suicide Prevention Hotline for LGBTQ+ Americans, this Administration is making callous, heartless decisions about who may live and who may die.
Because that will be the end result: young people in crisis will lose their lives.
