This is the best summary I could come up with:
Biden tried again in May with the nomination of Gomez, a State Department digital policy official who was previously deputy assistant secretary at the US National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) from 2009 to 2023.
"If confirmed, she would give the Democrats a majority at the FCC that would enable them to impose a radical left-wing agenda, including investment-killing and job-killing so-called net neutrality rules, otherwise known as Obamacare for the Internet," Cruz said.
The Republican yes votes came from Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, and Todd Young of Indiana.
Annoyed at how many vote no on a candidate as qualified and non-controversial as this," commented Harold Feld, senior VP and consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge.
Media advocacy group Free Press said the "unprecedented 32-month delay" that deadlocked the FCC "was the result of concerted efforts by the phone, cable, and broadcast lobbies to hamstring the agency that oversees their businesses.
Gomez's confirmation restores the agency's full complement of commissioners and provides a tie-breaking vote on issues related to diversifying media ownership, promoting broadband affordability and protecting the rights of Internet users."

God Cruz is such a pos
I cannot even make sense of the Obamacare comparison... do people really fall for this word vomit? Sad.
Looks up the poll numbers for Approval of "Obamacare" and approval of "ACA" during the time. That should answer your question.
No one calls it that.
These radical leftist policies that hate money are Obamacare, abortions, jobkillers, Marxist, communist, Leninist, atheist, Jews, Muslims, French, gay and trans agendas, grooming, protesting, unions, paper cuts, workers rights, pronouns, bathrooms, diversity, work from home, and liberal college elites all rolled into one. And it’s coming out of your tv, taking your guns, and making you use an electric range in a coastal city.
It’s like they aren’t even trying anymore, just sprinkling emotional buzzwords around regardless of the topic.
"Up yours woke moralists!"
Dang, how could I miss woke!? Everything’s woke except the sheeple.
Obtuse, rubber goose, green moose, guava juice Giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake!
Don't forget a low-flow shower head. Trump bitches about that one all the time.
It needs to be dumbed down for his audience
