the President firing the two Democratic FTC officials was like a forty second news cycle

between the corrupt supreme court and a 3-2 voting majority the fascists could already do whatever they want at the FTC. Firing the two Democrats was just scorched Earth shit, like paving the location of a napalm strike

remember when Matt Stoller was in constantly in Politico/Axios/Semafor type pubs last year constantly claiming this FTC would be a continuation of the Lina Khan dedicated to clamping down on unchecked corporate power?

The Axios coverage of Trump cementing the FCC as a puppet agency after illegally firing all democrats is just about as fucking feckless as you'd expect:

Really excited for the Dem resistance strategy of "Lightly scolding the Republicans and then doing nothing about it."
