The FCC’s only Democratic commissioner just dropped a bombshell letter accusing the Trump administration of weaponizing her agency to bully ABC into silencing Jimmy Kimmel. Anna Gomez sent a scathing message to Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro on May 11, 2026, calling out a “sustained, coordinated campaign of censorship and control” that she says is designed to strong-arm broadcasters into submission.
According to Mediaite, Gomez didn’t hold back in her letter, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. She laid out a pattern of what she called “not a series of coincidental regulatory actions,” pointing to recent FCC moves that seem to target ABC and Disney with unusual intensity.
