The mystery of Biden’s deadlocked FCC

The Federal Communications Commission is currently short a commissioner, and the Biden administration and Senate Democrats just can’t seem to get that seat filled despite having nominated an amazingly qualified person. Her name is Gigi Sohn. The inability to get Sohn confirmed at the FCC has left the commission deadlocked with two Democrats and two Republicans. That means the commission in charge of regulating all telecommunications in the United States, including how you get your internet service, is unable to get much done.
