This Senate resolution condemns FCC Chairman Brendan Carr for allegedly threatening to penalize ABC and Disney over political commentary made by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. The resolution argues that Carr's September 17, 2025 comments—in which he told the networks they could do things "the easy way or the hard way"—violated the First Amendment and abused his regulatory authority, especially since ABC's largest affiliate subsequently pulled Kimmel's show and ABC suspended him. The resolution contends that as an FCC chair, Carr has a constitutional duty to protect free speech and press independence, not use his position to coerce broadcasters over their editorial decisions. The Senate is calling for Carr to retract his threats and reaffirm his commitment to constitutional limits on his office. This is a non-binding resolution expressing Senate opinion rather than a law that would change policy or allocate funding.
