Everyone should read the speech given last week by Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez. It describes exactly how Trump and his appointed lackey are attempting to suppress any criticism.

And it ends with a chilling last sentence from Anna: "...if I’m removed from my seat on the Commission, let it be said plainly: It wasn’t because I failed to do my job. It’s because I insisted on doing it."
