Andrew Ferguson, President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Federal Trade Commission vowed in his pitch to lead the key agency that he would end current chair Lina Khan's "war on mergers."
This is just straight up misinformation. Lina Khan’s FTC was extremely hostile to large mergers, frequently suing to stop them, and that’s a very good thing. They also were working on several large antitrust cases, including one that they won against Google. They are literally in the process of breaking up a monopoly as I write this.
All of that is going to get flushed down the fucking toilet now that the Republicans are back in. Good job America.
