Personally, I think Mark Meador is an extremely qualified nominee and would make a great Commissioner.
But Trump and Musk's actions threaten the fundamental independence and legitimacy of the FTC, and until they are stopped Dems need to vote no today.

Until Trump and Musk end their attacks on the FTC and Commissioners Slaughter and Bedoya, EVERY Senate Democrat must VOTE NO on Mark Meador's confirmation today. Dems cannot endorse the lawless, dangerous actions of this administration.
Full rec below.

Republicans are NOT trying to responsibly fund the government.
Their partisan CR is a slush fund for Trump and Musk to wield and ignore as they see fit.

In 2022, Congress gave antitrust enforcers more money to stop illegal mergers and rein in monopolies.
But language in the CJS spending bill restricts their funds, letting corporations cheat their workers and jack up prices.
Join us in opposing this and other poison pills in the spending bills.

NEW: After consulting former Treasury staff, the Progressive Change Institute just released a memo outlining the worst case scenarios of Musk's hostile takeover.
This is nothing more than an economic coup.

The numbers don’t lie, and @repjayapal.bsky.social agrees:
“Despite rising costs that are squeezing poor and working people across the country, corporate profits are bigger than ever. It's a simple story of corporate monopolies price gouging consumers.”

Cenk fantasizing that Elon Musk’s two second reply means that he is going to hold some important influence in Trump’s gov is a confirmation of my new theory that most political pundits really just wanna be told they’re important and cute
