FCC Chair Brendan Carr reiterated that broadcast licenses are not property rights, warning that networks could lose their licenses if they air “hoaxes” or distort the news—particularly regarding war coverage.  Critics, including Democrats and the FCC's lone Democratic commissioner, argue his stance poses a First Amendment threat and exceeds the agency’s authority.

As the U.S.–Israel war with Iran enters its third week, Iranian forces have launched missile and drone strikes targeting Gulf neighbors and U.S. assets, including a strike on a U.S. embassy helipad in Baghdad and attacks near UAE ports. The U.S. continues intense counterstrikes, announcing it “obliterated” military sites on Iran’s Kharg Island, while sending thousands more Marines to the region and warning Iran to end its attacks.  The CEOs of America’s biggest airlines are blasting Congress, demanding it restore Homeland Security funding so TSA agents and other aviation workers can get paid during the ongoing partial shutdown.

They’re pushing Congress to pass bipartisan bills that guarantee these workers get paid even during shutdowns.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platf
