This couldn't be more false—@CFPB firmly opposed debanking and has taken measures to stop it. The real reason @pmarca, @elonmusk & other tech oligarchs are attacking this agency is because it has protected consumers against scams they’ve profited from. Receipts.🧵👇

Marc Andreesen on Elizabeth Warrens agency CFPB which has spent the last 4 years terrorizing people via debanking. This is going to be a 3 part thread.

"This is the first time @FTC has ever sought to block a merger not just because it's gonna be bad for consumers, but also for workers." @linakhanFTC and @hasanthehun discuss how the FTC's win today blocking the Kroger-Albertsons merger will protect worker bargaining power.🔥🔥

.@AOC hits the nail on the head. Corporate consolidation is driving prices for consumers up and wages for working families down.

This cynical report—which @elonmusk used to call for @linakhanFTC's firing today—is part of a campaign to remove an effective and popular public servant for actually serving the public, rather than billionaires. Let's take a spin through its "findings."👇🧵

“We need more officials… to make it crystal clear that fighting for a level playing field is a core value... even when it means standing up to big business..." Must-read from @linamkhan on why fighting for small businesses must be a core tenant of any durable economic agenda.

🚨BREAKING: @JusticeATR and AAG Jonathan Kanter just won the biggest antitrust case of the 21st century. A judge ruled Google an illegal monopolist for spending tens of billions on default search deals. Tremendous win for consumers, innovation, and the entire tech industry.

Confronted with Ticketmaster's failures and calls to break it up, the Chairman of its parent group blames the chaos on...Taylor Swift herself? Ticketmaster will twist any situation to protect its market power over live events.

On a Twitch stream reacting to Microsoft's latest price hikes, @Atrioc says he thinks it's an "I told you so situation" for @linamkhan's FTC. "You guys made this very very clear in your suit against Microsoft-Activision that this is what they would try to do."

🚨ICYMI: @FTC released evidence confirming the high price of oil from 2021-2023 was due to collusion between US producers and OPEC. This HUGE conspiracy cost each American $500-1000 per year, according to our estimates. Our new factsheet breaks it down.👇 economicliberties.us/wp-content/upl…
