Years ago, Congress passed a law that empowers parents to decide the types of TV programs that are appropriate for their kids by standing up a TV show ratings system. But recently, parents have raised concerns with the industry's approach — including with ratings creep. Specifically, they argue that New York & Hollywood programmers are promoting controversial issues in kids programming without providing any transparency or disclosures to parents. This undermines the whole point of the law and the ratings system parents rely on. The FCC is now seeking comment on whether the industry's approach provides parents with the types of information and disclosures relevant to them today.

FCC floats censoring LGBTQ+ and other "controversial issues" on TV. In schools and museums, "controversial issues" has meant blocking discussion of race, gender, sexuality, bodily autonomy and political issues.

In other words, remaking broadcast to match Christian Nationalist ideology.

Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up.

The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning.

No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Any mainstream media coverage of this? The depth of corruption is staggering.

Here’s the very simple truth. We should ban all Gerrymandering.

Until then, to unilaterally disarm is political suicide and malpractice.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.

Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.

Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

"This is an important thing to think about."

Don’t vote for people behaving like Ramaswamy.

Same with Ohio.

Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!

Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States

Every STATE needs to follow this lead

Trump cannot pardon

.

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

The only ppl who don’t know how money works is Republicans.

Péter Magyar victory speech:

"We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others."

He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

If you sexually assaulted someone, you should not be serving in Congress—[or as President]. Period.

You’ve heard of Stockholm Syndrome.

Welcome to Budapest Envy.

I don’t think a lot folks understand how massive Péter Magyar’s election was today in Hungary over Viktor Orbán.

It was a massive 33% swing in votes. That’s insane. That would be like a Democratic supermajority being created in Congress overnight.

Holy shit.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

Kanninen: "I wish Rs would do the same thing w/ Gonzales. Just 5 days ago there was a story about texts he sent another staffer after previous one killed herself. There's not been calls for him to resign. Anybody, R or D, w/ this kind of serious charge, should focus on their families, not politics"

We elected you to Congress to be a check on executive power, not a spectator.

You swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to protect a man who threatens democracy, threatens war, and threatens the future.

Stop hiding behind voters.

Stop punting responsibility.

DO YOUR JOBS.👇

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens.

The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."

CNN: The White House is claiming it was the president's tough rhetoric that brought Iran to its knees


MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I'm sorry. That's not 'tough rhetoric.' It's insanity. It's calling for the murder of an entire civilization

We have never looked more feckless and ridiculous to the entire world.

Congress is completely useless at this point.
