@BrendanCarrFCC That’s because billionaires bought them all and consolidated news sources. Don’t blame the little guys for this massive problem. These mega owners control everything we read, see and hear.

For years, the FCC stood idly by while trusted sources of local news and information went out of business. Newspapers closed by the dozen in communities all across the country. Replaced by national programming that does not always meet local needs or the public interest. The reporters and journalists at local broadcast TV stations filled the void—providing trusted, gumshoe reporting. Today, the FCC acts to empower some of those broadcast TV stations. It does so by approving the combination of Nexstar and TEGNA TV stations. While Nexstar will own less than 15% of television stations after this deal, the transaction allows them to *increase* local news and compete in a more balanced way against the much larger players that now dominate today’s media market. The FCC’s conclusions are bolstered by certain concrete conditions that Nexstar has committed to as part of this deal—including divesting a number of stations, increasing localism, and affordability steps. Thank you to the FCC’s talented public servants for your work on this matter.

@RoadMN @StevenCheung47 And regardless, Cheung uses his valuable and important platform to demean, demoralize and condescend those he disagrees with. That is beneath his role as a supposedly savvy communicator.

CNN continues to get absolutely OBLITERATED in the ratings. It’s not even close. H/T @RoadMN

@DHSgov They do deserve better. So do the American citizens that have been beaten, roughed up, arrested and detained by thug ICE agents that don’t follow or laws. Rein them in and get your money.

Americans and our TSA agents deserve better. Democrats need to end the shutdown and fund DHS now.

@SenRickScott @SenSchumer @SenateDems If you really believe this you don’t deserve to be a senator. No critical thinking. No rationale. Just a dumb and shallow post without context.

Let’s be clear about what’s happening in Washington: @SenSchumer & @SenateDems are ignoring the will of the American people & blocking the SAVE America Act because they need illegal aliens to vote to “win” elections. WATCH ⬇️

@StevenCheung47 You are a joke as communications director. Rather than taking time to explain any you disagree with a different viewpoint, you demean, use hate speech and attempt ridicule instead. The enemy is you and you support.

Anne is a terrorist sympathizer and cheerleads for America’s failure. She pushed the Russia collusion hoax, which was ultimately debunked. Total loser. She’s one of these radicals who grew up and was indoctrinated in the Washington bubble, having no original thought.

@DHSgov Force rogue ICE agents to comply with US law and you will get your funding.

Democrats are once again forcing our TSA agents to work without pay for the THIRD time in six months — including in Baltimore, where many agents and their families are being forced to live off of food drives. This is disgraceful: Democrats must stop holding the paychecks of our TSA officers hostage and REOPEN DHS.

@SecDuffy Because idiot republicans will never do the right thing and force rogue ICE agents to comply with US laws. Do that and get the funding.

EVERY SINGLE Republican in the Senate has voted to fund DHS and end these TSA lines! Meanwhile, Democrats are holding TSA paychecks hostage to play political games. They’d rather see you stuck in line than do their jobs. 🤡 Americans deserve better 🇺🇸

@DOWResponse @SecWar Epic fury is spinning out of your control. You don’t control the Strait. You don’t control the oil. You done even know if Iran is still enriching uranium somewhere else in their country. Yes you dismantled their warships and rockets but that only takes you so far.

.@SECWAR “This media here—not all of it, but much of it—wants you to think, just 19 days into this conflict, that we are somehow spinning toward an endless abyss, or a ‘forever war,’ or a quagmire. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. Hear it from me, one of hundreds of thousands who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, who watched foolish politicians like Bush, Obama, and Biden squander American credibility, treasure, and troops—this is NOT those wars. President Trump knows better. Epic Fury IS DIFFERENT.”

@RpsAgainstTrump That is one of the most incredibly inhumane statements ever made. Even in war.

Hegseth: “We’ve decided to share the ocean with Iran. We gave them the bottom half.”

@PressSec Get your Republican leadership to make ICE comply with our laws and the money will flow. That simple.

The Democrats need to reopen the Department of Homeland Security immediately and end their reckless shutdown. Intentionally hurting innocent American travelers and depriving federal workers of their paychecks is deeply wrong.

@SenRickScott That would be your idiot in chief, Rick.

Putin is evil and wants to destroy America. Anyone that argues otherwise is either a fool or a liar. wsj.com/world/russia-i…

@SenTomCotton But you’re ok with China, Russia and North Korea having that capability?

The threat of an intercontinental ballistic missile from Iran is real. We can’t allow Iran’s regime to use the flimsy cover of a “space program” to build a weapon that can hit us here at home.

@RpsAgainstTrump Yes he hasn’t dry bumped one couch so far as we know.

JD Vance: 14 months in, I think we've got a lot to be proud of You think?

@SteveScalise Let’s tell the whole story, Scalise. Democrats have made offers and republicans have refused every one of them.

For 33 days, Democrats have REFUSED to fund DHS. They say they’re “very serene” with risking our safety, holding DHS employees’ paychecks hostage, and causing chaos for millions of travelers. Enough. End the shutdown. Fund DHS.

@FoxNews He should resign in shame or change parties. He is no democrat.

NEW: Senator Fetterman rips his fellow Democrats for shutting down DHS, calling them out for leaving the nation vulnerable to cyberattacks: “I may be the only Democrat that refused to shutting our DHS down.” “It’s a strange devotion. I don't understand why you would shut the entire agency down just because you want those kind of reforms on ICE.” “I refuse to punish those union members that are working.” “Now, two of the top agents of cyberattacks come from Iran and China — They must be elated to know that that part — it's all shut down.” “I refuse to punish and make our nation less secure.”

@newtgingrich Nope. Blame republicans for not reining in rogue ICE agents that didn’t follow the law, didn’t use search warrants, didn’t use body cameras, took innocent Americans to undisclosed locations. Make them follow the law and TSA will get their money.

Every American who has been recently delayed at an airport should thank Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff and his fellow Democrats. You lost hours of your time because they blocked funding for the Transportation Security Administration and Coast Guard. gingrich360.net/p/thanks-sen-o…

@elonmusk So has driving a Tesla truck.

Winning an Oscar has become an embarrassment

@FoxNews I don't give a rats ass if he is a good man. I care that he is qualified to do the job. And he isn't. At all.

NEW: GOP Sen. Moreno to DHS secretary nominee Markwayne Mullin — "I just want the American people to know you're a good man." MORENO: "Do you pledge to support and defend the United States of America nearly as much as you would protect and defend your family?" MULLIN: "Without a doubt, sir, yes." MORENO: So I'm going to ruin everything for the audience. You will be confirmed. You will have the job. And you're going to make this country safer."

@highbrow_nobrow His opinion is always wrong.

"The war is proceeding very, very strongly. We're doing very, very well…They were two weeks away, in my opinion, two weeks away from having a nuclear weapon." - POTUS amplifies falsehoods about Iran’s nuclear program. (2026)
