Hate it when the head of the FCC tries to reverse policy and they get filibustered by Congress. Just crazy.

The head of the FCC still has to work with the other commissioners, and there's currently a 50/50 split on party lines, so once again Democrats do not have control of the institution.

Pretty crazy how there's a 50/50 split on a 5 seat commission. Wonder how long that's been the case.

For as long as 50 Republican senators, as well as Manchin and Sinema, have refused to confirm Gigi Sohn's nomination.
