Every morning, Federal Communications Commissioner Anna Gomez says she checks her email “to see if I am going to work.”
The idea that Gomez can wake up one day for an email that you reject is not baseless. This is mainly how the Democratic Commissioner of the Federal Trade Committee was another agency of the federal government It was created to be independentand Discover that Trump was shooting at them Although doing this without the reason for violating it by previous contracts to the Supreme Court.
Now that is Gomez and Car left only in the committeeSince Democrat Jeffrey Starks and Republican Nathan Simington stepped down last week, the agency no longer has a quorum to vote on important procedures. Only three members of the five committee of the same party can be, while Trump has one Republican candidate awaiting confirmation The second rumorGomez is not sure that Trump will eventually move to another democratic nomination. “I did not see him nominating one democratic to the entire administration,” she says freedom In a short interview after an event with the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) in Washington, DC. “I saw him just shooting them.”
One may assume that Gomez’s tour in the country that criticizes the agency’s actions will make an tense office environment in the Federal Communications Committee. But she, she says, already has a “good business relationship” with Car. “This is what it is,” she says. “He knows that I need to speak publicly, and we have a relationship where I can tell him my fears as well.” Does she have any feeling why Trump did not try to shoot her? “No,” Gomez says.
“I did not see him nominating one democracy to the entire administration. I only saw him shooting them.”
But the loss of the quorum of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) can create more opposition points until the third commissioner is confirmed by the Senate. The offices of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) are allowed to implement some work on the so -called authority delegated, but it is not supposed to deal with new issues aimed at dealing with them at the committee level. These are the types of things that Gomez believes that you should wait for the quorum so that the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) can, which leads to a final decision-contrary to the procedures at the office level-can be reviewed in court. Gomez Really criticize Approval at the office level on Verizon acquisition of $ 20 billion as a “back room” deal, and warns that reviewing the proposed Skydance deal from Paramount should not be dealt with in the same way.
During the CTA event, Gomez gave a temporary response to whether the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) has enough handrails to repel conflicts of interests with Musk companies, such as Spacex, which runs the Internet satellites Starlink, You can benefit From the one Agency policy. Even recentlyMusk had a comfortable relationship with Trump, and his involvement with Dog raised questions about the types of information he could access Concerning his financial interests (The White House insisted that musk will back down from any possible conflicts.) “I can only imagine that our general advisor will be very involved in making these decisions,” says Gomez. “As a commissioner, I have no insight into these types of activities, but our president is the agency’s former general advisor and he fully realizes these obligations.”
Despite his weak position, Gomez says she encouraged during the first amendment round to see support from people from different ideological backgrounds. “This is not a red or blue issue,” she says. ” “I think it is important to talk and go back, because we cannot leave this is the current situation.”
