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.

And of course, the conservative Supreme Court is likely to strip the FTC of its power and render many of its decisions invalid, giving conservatives the last laugh on this and many other issues.

The Supreme Court is a joke nowadays. We really need terms at every level of major governing position.

Judge for life is a terrible precedent. Not that far from kings.

Especially the republican judges who take lavish trips funded by billionaires. Clear conflict of interest in open.
