CW: Long thread/5
And these same DINOs reached across the aisle to work with Republicans to keep some of the most competent, principled agency leaders from being seated, like the remarkable #GigiSohn, targeted by a homophobic smear campaign funded by the telco industry, who feared her presence on the #FCC:

The Biden administration has a *much* better FCC - though not as good as it could be, thanks to Biden hanging #GigiSohn out to dry in a homophobic smear campaign that ultimately led one of the best qualified nominees for FCC commissioner to walk away from the process:
https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/15/useful-idiotsuseful-idiots/#unrequited-love
Notwithstanding the tragic loss of Sohn's leadership in this vital agency, Biden's FCC - and its action on robocalls - illustrates the value of elections won with ballots, not wallets.

The DoJ isn't the only public agency that's serving the American people. The #FCC just announced proceedings to force #Cybersecurity labels for "smart" devices:
This is long overdue, and it's a welcome action from the FCC, which was hamstrung for years because cowardly Democratic senators joined with homophobic, libelous #Republicans in blocking confirmation hearings for the amazing #GigiSohn:

But the Biden admin's unwillingness to side with one wing of the party also produces catastrophic failures, like the martyrdom of #GigiSohn, who was subjected to years of vicious personal attacks while awaiting confirmation to the #FCC, undefended by the Biden admin, left to twist in the wind until she gave it up as a bad job:

Her withdrawal comes as #JoeManchinSenatorForSale D-W.V., put out a statement announcing that he would vote no on the nomination over what he called "years of partisan activism The unrelenting, dishonest and cruel attacks on my character and my career as an advocate for the public interest have taken an enormous toll on me and my family," #GigiSohn said.
