I’m so impressed with the FTC lately, here is an excellent interview Jon Stewart did with the FTC chair Lina Khan: https://youtu.be/oaDTiWaYfcM

I did joke I’m really surprised the vested interests selected someone competent who wants to hold these companies accountable to the public.

There's a lot of talk about "both sides being the same", but the FTC alone has been a night & day difference from previous administrations.

I think for stuff controlled by the president, “both sides are the same” is indeed clearly false. But there’s a decent argument to be made that it doesn’t really matter who you vote for for Congress, since the system is structured to require both parties to agree on almost any controversial legislation.
