Trump’s FCC nominee avoids questions from Democrats on Carr’s ‘censorship agenda’

What happened: At a Tuesday Senate hearing on her nomination to the FCC, Danielle Thumann, senior counsel to chair Brendan Carr, faced Democratic questions about the agency's actions toward ABC and Jimmy Kimmel. Why it matters: Senator Ben Ray Luján said the commission's actions will be under close scrutiny when Democrats take charge of the chamber in January. Thumann is expected to be approved, with Republicans controlling the Senate and House.
