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.

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)
