Trump’s FCC leader threatens to ki-l mergers over DEI policies
In an interview with Bloomberg on Friday, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr openly said “Any businesses that are looking for FCC approval, I would encourage them to get busy ending any sort of their invidious forms of DEI discrimination.” The outlet also quoted him as saying: “If there’s businesses out there that are still promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination, I really don’t see a path forward where the FCC could reach the conclusion that approving the transaction is going to be in the public interest.”

Will the same come from the SEC? Will the company have to change its policies?

Kudos to whoever uploaded that video. "A meritocracy, just like my dad intended..." How fitting!

'out comes the race card"

Time has proven that playing the race card is usually indicative of a very weak hand.

I know Dr. G is a Republican, but I cannot see him caving to all this openly racist anti-DEI claptrap.

He's been waiting impatiently to show off his new $5 vocabulary word "invidious" in a sentence. Not once but twice in the same interview? Jackpot!
