Congressional Democratic leaders called for Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr to resign “immediately” in a statement Thursday morning, after Disney indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show.

In a joint statement, signed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark (Mass.), Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (Calif.) and other Democratic leaders, the group said Carr had engaged in “the corrupt abuse of power” by “forcing” ABC to “bend the knee” to President Donald Trump in canceling Kimmel’s show.

If you don't have the votes to impeach and remove someone, then it's no different than a sternly written letter. Trump has been impeached twice and look where we are.

The Republicans have an consistent history of voting to keep these morons in power. Like 100% on board every single time. Making them prove it for the thousandth time won't make the cult finally care.

It's about delaying until 2026 imho

At this rate, midterms aren't going to happen.
