  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 2026 – Two Capitol Hill lawmakers want to put the Federal Communications Commission on the clock.\n\nReps. **August Pfluger** , R-Texas, and **Josh Gottheimer** , D-N.J., introduced a bill Thursday to impose shot clocks on FCC merger reviews.\n\nThe bill, called the Keep it Moving Act, would codify the FCC’s informal 180-day deadline for merger reviews, which it has at times far exceeded. If the agency missed that deadline, with some exceptions, applicants would be able to get a court to compel the agency to approve their deal. The agency would have to ask the court for permission to deny at that point.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
