AXIOS (Sara Fischer) - FCC orders review of ABC's broadcast licenses

The Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday ordered an accelerated review of ABC's local station broadcast licenses as it investigates whether those stations violated the FCC's rules that are meant to prevent "unlawful discrimination" related to ABC's diversity, equity and inclusion policies. Why it matters: The move is unprecedented, and it puts pressure on ABC and its parent Disney as they continue to clash with the Trump administration over the content they broadcast. - While the FCC does have jurisdiction to review local broadcast licenses, the agency has never declared a review this sweeping, and especially not in relation to a network's DEI practices. State of play: The review comes shortly after President Trump and first…

AXIOS (Kathleen Hunter) - Senate rejects curb on Trump military action in Cuba

The Senate rejected an effort to advance legislation that would bar U.S. military action against Cuba without Congress' green light. Why it matters: It's lawmakers' latest failed attempt to rein in Trump's use of military force overseas, underscoring the support he maintains from Republicans who control Capitol Hill. - The vote was 51-47 on Tuesday in favor of blocking the resolution from moving forward. - Republicans Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky voted in favor of advancing the measure. Pennsylvania's John Fetterman was the only Democrat in opposition. The big picture: Trump has escalated pressure on Cuba this year with a de facto maritime blockade while openly floating the possibility of military action. - The…
