The FCC changed its website during a heated hearing with FCC chair Brendan Carr.
Carr was responding to questions from lawmakers about whether the agency was independent.
Carr told lawmakers “the FCC is not an independent agency” — within minutes, the FCC had scrubbed the word “independent” from its website, CNN reported.

CNN media analyst Sara Fischer said it only took the agency 25 minutes.
“So clearly they have made a decision to change their talking points around how they describe this agency,” Fischer said.
This administration has made it obvious that no institution, soverign or not, is safe from corruption. Authority and power will always be turned inward to serve and outward to punish as the inward group grows ever scant. This country cannot tear itself apart fast enough. Its just too bad we will be experiencing the wet dreams of oligarchs for the rest of our lives.
I think it’s obvious that you are on the brink of dictatorship - with all the repressive measures that go with it.
I think we are effectively already in a dictatorship
Brink?
Not sure why everyone here thinks the oligarchs want this anarchy and destabilization. This is all bad for business and this AI bubble is going to be Great Depression 2.0.
Yeah, the oligarchs are kissing Trump’s ass, but that’s just good business, doesn’t mean they agree with him. They just want a seat at the table, favors, etc.
I don’t think it’s that oligarchs want the US society to collapse, it’s more that they’re seen as reckless in their pursuit of getting that seat at the table of those in power. They’re probably smart enough to know that eventually this path will lead to someone’s destruction, but they’re either confident or arrogant in their belief they’ll be unaffected. Only time tell which it is
The system isnt rational, if something is good for business and good for workers, then it is a threat to the oligarchy. This is why a class analysis is so important.
During covid, wages went up, unemployment went down, profitability soared, business was pretty good in many sectors. What was the response? Raise interest rates, increase unemployment, drive down wages, increase prices.
Once you realise that unemployment and inflation are really one metric, it demonstrates how imprisoned the “free market” actually is. Good for business means little, only a society where workers own their time and produce is capable of being rational and fair
There’s a level of wealth at which wealth loses meaning. Not in the “all things cost what I consider pocket change” sense, but in the “I’m so wealthy no one charges me money anymore” sense.
What matters then is consolidating that position, and establishing power, as opposed to wealth. It doesn’t matter if the economy tanks if your position isn’t based on economics. If the anarchy in question is people no longer listening to rules, that’s a great time to put yourself in a powerful position that the rules say shouldn’t exist. From that perspective, destabilization is just them pushing stuff they don’t care about out of the way.
Never has the internet archive been more important.
they already control the archive. its servers are in the US. and they started deleting stuff from it within the first few months of his presidency.
Well fuck…
Yeah, where’s that hosted again?
More “Animal Farm” though
Whatever Trump has on all these morherfuckers has got to me some powetful shit. I mean, to make every single one of them systematically join rank and file and turn on their own country and its citizens?
It can’t be just money. There’s some serious shit going on here.
Brendan Carr wrote a chapter of Project 2025 for the Heritage foundation about how to use the FCC to push their Christian nationalist ideology. The serious shit is that this is a highly coordinated government takeover by an organized, funded, and highly connected group that largely flies under the radar.
I seriously doubt that Trump personally chose any of his people. It’s Bannon and Miller running things; Trump is just there for Trump (money, power, attention)
You severely underestimate how far people will go for the tiniest bit of power and some money.
more like trumps handlers/ people who have dirt on trump have dirt on the FCC, and they work through him. not for him. trump is the bitch of quite a few shadow elites. hes always robbing peter to pay paul.
Fair point. Whoever it is pulling the strings, they have some serious dirt.
Im sure this admin wishes the internet archive didn’t exist
they already had their way with the internet archive. its been gutted a few times now.
So when do the concentration camps for DEM voters statrt?
Beatings will continue until morale improves.
