Swalwell has a message for the FCC head.

[edbermac]

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell just told the FCC chairman to hire a lawyer and preserve records because they will be held accountable in 2027 when democrats take the House.

Oh and he’s wearing a Jimmy Kimmel hat.

1. FUCK the billionaires who will sacrifice our democracy for the dollar

[ImNotGod]

2. The problem is the fascists completely ignored our subpoenas the last time, they will just do it again

with tRumps backing plus the courts will still be firmly in fascist control.

[calimary]

3. LOVE this guy!

[Johonny]

4. Hopefully the court of law too

When Kimmel sues him for 15 billion dollars.

[twodogsbarking]

5. He seems nice.

[Cha]

6. Whoa! Good on Rep Swalwell!

[Hekate]

7. I have always liked Swalwell

[Gimpyknee]

8. Why wait for a year?

What prevents a legal challenge against the FCC Head beginning right now?

20. he is talking about holding him accountable in the house

meaning, dragging him in front of a committee and possibly investigating and collecting documents to later sue him. Right now, democrats are in the minority; they can not subpoena anybody. Sure, Carr could be sued, but it's unlikely to work on its own.

9. Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

Of course, it falls flat if Dipshit Donnie and crew succeed in canceling further elections, but it's at least something.

10. a good reply to that post:

There is an FCC Commissioner who actually understands what the FCC is supposed to be doing, and has the courage to stand up and speak out. Thank you, Commissioner Gomez.

11. Desperation strategy: I call on thoughtful billionaires and thoughtful republicans to stand

against the wind and in a united fashion do what it takes to lay out the case against TSF/fascism/cruelty/lawlessness. An hour long special. A weekly update on socials and networks.

I want to see Cuban, Cheney, Bushes, Cook, Buffet, Kinzinger, Massie, Mary Trump, etc all together on a stage or panel warning Americans about what is coming. Isolated dem objections, posts, and interviews on MSNBC are not enough. We need much, much more. I'll even take foreign pundits and officials. Former cabinet members such as Bolton, Milley, McMaster, Kelly...goprs who have worked with him and became horrified.

This is an all hands on deck moment and they need to do much better.

I support Schiff and Swalwell and others who speak out...100%...but they won't be the ones to change our trajectory. Celebrities and dem officials don't reach the people that need to wake up.

[MuirHero]

15. Your assessment is spot on!

[Pacifist Patriot]

18. Agreed. Until it becomes American democracy v fascisim instead of Dem v MAGA/GOP, we're not going to gain much ground.

[lastlib]

21. "thoughtful republicans"

They haven't been seen in the wild since Nixon.

[Scubamatt]

12. For all those

who say: "what can we do?;we don't have any power", there is THIS! Thank you Eric Swalwell!!!!! Now rinse and repeat!

[talking-liberally]

13. Make him minority leader.

... and eventually Speaker.

We need a fighter with some cahones.

14. FCC chair Carr wrote a chapter in Project 2025

On communications.

19. +1. Carr is a full-blown MAGA fascist

[MissouriDem47]

16. Using Their Standards

When the next Democrat is in the White House why would Fox be allowed stay on the air?

[Emile]

17. With all the Republican gerrymandering and redistricting, I hope he's right.
