Brendan Carr is using the FCC to target the President’s political opponents, launching investigations into every major network except Fox. This isn't enforcing the law—it's retaliation. We must protect free speech and keep our independent agencies independent.

Today I voted to advance a House impeachment resolution. This Administration has committed multiple potentially impeachable offenses.
Impeachment requires investigations, hearings, and votes—and the majority won’t even pass a healthcare bill. But accountability must come.
