The #Senate #confirmed #AnnaGomez, Pres #Biden’s pick for the #FCC, ending a lengthy #partisan split at the #regulatory agency & giving #Democrats the power to (finally) carry out major agenda items.
Senators voted 55-43 to confirm Gomez, an FCC veteran who is currently a #communications #policy adviser for the State Dept. Gomez will take the third Democratic seat on the 5-member commission, which oversees #broadband & #communications #regulation.

60 followers · 3201 posts · Server qoto.orgWhen talking about the McConnell legacy we NEED to address the misinformation that kept him in office, and interfered with so much other functioning of the Senate, from SCOTUS nominations through legislative progress.
Under Senate rules, not even the majority leader has free hand to dictate what happens.
We’ve had a generation of this myth that McConnell had such power, when he absolutely didn’t. BUT, it was a win-win-win-win to promote that myth.
D’s got to blame McConnell for their own failures, and fundraise off of his specter, R’s had McConnell get them out of tricky votes, the press got a ton of sensational stories out of the whole thing, and McConnell himself gained reelection without challenge.
All because we overlook that a simple majority of senators can override McConnell, just like any other senator, if they really wanted to.
It’s been sad to watch. Can we finally tear him, and the leader position, down now?
