A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the comments made by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, threatening to penalize ABC and Disney for the political commentary of ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel were dangerous and unconstitutional.

This is a non-binding resolution, meaning it expresses the Senate's position but does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. The resolution addresses comments made by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr on September 17, 2025, in which he reportedly threatened to penalize ABC and Disney in connection with political commentary made by ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. The resolution characterizes these comments as dangerous and unconstitutional.

If passed, this resolution would serve as a formal statement of Senate sentiment regarding the FCC Chairman's conduct and statements. However, as a non-binding resolution, it would not directly change any laws, regulations, or FCC policies. The practical impact on citizens would be limited to the symbolic message it sends about congressional concerns regarding potential government pressure on media outlets and free speech protections. The resolution remains in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
