- Disney urged the FCC on the final day of the public comment period to drop its challenge to the eight station licenses, but expects the proceeding to continue.
- The FCC website showed that more than 150,000 comments were submitted, mostly supporting ABC, while other open proceedings received at most a few hundred responses.
- According to the report, support came from across the political spectrum, including conservative and free-market groups that warned the FCC could threaten free speech and press freedom.
- A referral for an official hearing on renewing the licenses is considered the likeliest next step in August, after Brendan Carr ordered early paperwork in April even though the eight licenses are not due for renewal for years.
a small number of partisan voices have tried to hijack the license process into a referendum on a network they dislike, but the public refuses to let local stations become collateral damage in the FCC’s political games.— Anna Gomez, FCC Commissioner; said Thursday that a small number of partisan voices have tried to hijack the license process into a referendum on a network they dislike, but the public refuses to let local stations become collateral damage in the FCC’s political games.

- Following a Supreme Court ruling, the administration replaced a global 10% tariff with tiered tariffs of 10 and 12.5% on imports from the 60 largest trade partners.
- These tariffs are authorized under laws addressing unfair trade practices and focus on products linked to forced labor abroad.
- Energy and many food imports are exempted to reduce complications for businesses during the tariff transition.
- Despite public criticism, the administration remains committed to tariffs and plans additional measures, including 50% tariffs on some Canadian goods and possible pharmaceutical tariffs.
