Chairman of the FCC

Documented career positions
Brendan Thomas Carr is the 31st Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), officially elevated to the position by President Trump in January 2025. Unanimously confirmed by the Senate three times as a Commissioner under both the Trump and Biden administrations, Carr is a seasoned communications lawyer who previously served as the FCC’s General Counsel. As Chairman, Carr has completely weaponized the regulatory power of the FCC to execute the conservative movement's war against legacy media and Silicon Valley. Heavily involved in drafting the communications policy for the Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025," Carr immediately launched aggressive federal investigations into major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC) regarding their DEI policies and alleged political bias, threatening to revoke lucrative broadcast licenses. He is a fierce advocate for Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet and a crusader against what he terms the "censorship cartel" of Big Tech.
