Tell Congress to investigate FCC Chair Carr’s threats against broadcasters!

Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr is threatening to pull broadcast licenses from media outlets that report on the Iran War in ways President Trump doesn't like. As reported by Common Dreams, Trump recently floated treason charges against media outlets for their Iran War coverage.

The Guardian reports that Carr posted on social media, threatening to cancel permits of mainstream news outlets for what he calls "fake news" about the Iran conflict. This is exactly the kind of authoritarian behavior that Sen. Ed Markey warned about when he called it a "blatant attempt to muzzle the free press."

CNBC and The Hill have covered this dangerous escalation in the Trump administration's war on journalism. When a government official threatens to revoke broadcast licenses for independent reporting, it sends a chilling message to all media: comply with the regime or face government retaliation.

This isn't just about one story — it's about the very foundation of our democracy. The First Amendment exists for moments like this, when the government tries to silence the press that holds it accountable.

Congress must investigate Carr's threats immediately. Your signature will help create the public pressure needed to defend our constitutional right to a free and independent media.

Add your name to demand Congress investigate FCC Chair Carr's license threats immediately.
