A one-time 5% wealth tax would bring Silicon Valley's billionaires' wealth back to where it was just 31 days ago (when it was "just" 178% higher than on January 1, 2023). They'd rather let 3 million people lose their health insurance than let that happen.

Gosh. What a surprise that Brendan Carr is a fucking coward. Comedians making jokes on late night TV requires an investigation into the "public interest" standard, but a literal execution is "not my job, go talk to Hegseth who is doing a great job."

A livestream falls outside of the FCC’s regulatory power, but the Pentagon feed is something that, absent restrictions, broadcasters could pick up. The FCC’s obscenity, indecency and profanity guidelines do not directly address executions, but under his tenure, Carr has launched investigations of networks on the grounds that they may not be meeting their public interest obligations. FCC guidance earlier this year emphasized, among other things, that stations must air programming that is “responsive to the needs of their local communities.” “My understanding is it’s not on broadcast TV, so I don’t think there’s a role for the FCC one way or the other there,” Carr said on CNBC. “But I trust Secretary Hegseth. I mean, he’s implementing the laws and regulations that are relevant to the Department of War, and I think he’s doing a great job, and I trust that he’s making the right call on these issues.”
