Donald Trump selects Brendan Carr, big tech critic, to lead FCC

Donald Trump has chosen Brendan Carr to lead the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Carr, a current commissioner and former general counsel, has been confirmed by the Senate three times and is known for his criticism of big tech companies. Carr recently accused major tech firms of censoring Americans and emphasized the need to restore free speech rights. He has aligned with Trump’s views on regulating social media and has contributed to the right-wing agenda outlined in "Project 2025." Trump has not yet announced his pick for treasury secretary, but several candidates, including former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh and billionaire Marc Rowan, are being considered for the position.
