It's important and could impact millions of Americans, so I want you to have all the facts: Nexstar Media Group is a massive broadcast company that owns TV stations around the country, and they're trying to acquire another huge broadcast company, Tegna.  If these two companies merge, they'll consolidate their power into a behemoth that covers more than 80% of TV households in the country. This is a clear violation of federal antitrust laws and FCC rules. It would also be a gut punch to our democracy that relies on an informed population.  Consumers would have fewer choices and less power, higher bills, and communities would lose the information and critical check on power that local journalism provides. So who's pushing for this? Well, Donald Trump, for one: The President wants this merger because he thinks it benefits him politically. And his FCC Chair — the same guy who threatened ABC when he didn't like Jimmy Kimmel's political commentary — is falling in line. But this merger would significantly lessen competition, drive up costs, and cause irreparable damage to local news — it's illegal, plain and simple. So I'm suing Nexstar and Tegna to block it, make sure antitrust laws are enforced, and protect consumers in California and across the country. If you're with me, will you help power our work with a contribution right now? Anything you can give before our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline will have a meaningful impact on what we can accomplish together. CONTRIBUTE The Trump administration has proven it won't defend the public and uphold consumer protection and antitrust laws, and it won't lift a finger to tackle our affordability crisis — but while they won't, I will. I am. We'll keep fighting, and with the law on our side, we will win. I'll keep you updated on our progress. —Rob  Rob Bonta Attorney General of California           CONTRIBUTE To contribute via check, please address to: Rob Bonta for Attorney General 2026 c/o Deane & Company 1700 Tribute Road, Suite 201 Sacramento, CA 95815   This email was sent to jambrose01.munchkinlegs@blogger.com.
