Sen. Tom Cotton called on Republican senators to filibuster the National Defense Authorization Act over congressional leadership’s move to latch the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act onto the bill.
Cotton said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are holding the bill “hostage” by moving to add “all kinds of extraneous nondefense measures” such as the JCPA; the SAFE Banking Act, which would allow banks to handle marijuana-related businesses; or Sen. Joe Manchin’s natural gas and oil permitting bill as a reward for his voting for the Inflation Reduction Act.
Cotton referred to the JCPA as a “payoff for liberal media companies to form a cartel to work with big tech that will hurt center-right outlets.” The Arkansas conservative called to filibuster the bill in the Senate if Democrats insist on adding these extraneous measures to the defense authorization bill.
