Today, I honor the incredible legacy of my Senator, and close family friend, @SenJanetBuckner as she step down from her role. Senator Buckner’s unwavering dedication to our community has inspired so many, including myself, to serve with passion and purpose. Her leadership will be…
I'll write more about this soon, but for now, the short version: Pluralism and antimonopoly go together. Pluralism without antimonopoly is not actual freedom of disagreement, but control by big finance and tech. The democracy fight is against big tech oligarchs and finance.
Colorado defied national trends in 2024. A BIG part is b/c of our strong down-ballot bench like, @javier_mabrey In his FIRST term: Just Cause for Eviction BUILD MORE HOUSING policies Consumer Protection regs Worker Protection laws and dozens of more progressive bills
As we face threats of authoritarianism from Trump and his buddies–working together to gut federal labor protections, workers need the tools to fight back. CO’s uniquely bad labor laws and the second election, stand in the way. Let’s prove to workers that we are on their side.
Cities and states are taking action to rein in RealPage and the other corporations cooking up algorithms for landlords to fix rental housing prices, and, as the @WSJ noted today, @econliberties and @LocalProgress are here to help. wsj.com/real-estate/bi…
There are people suggesting Democrats should run on niche issues like freeing 1 in 3 workers from noncompetes or fighting the monopolists raising grocery prices. Wrong. We should run on broad-based policies––like nonrefundable tax credits for real estate investment funds.
The biggest proponents of wokeness were not actually The Groups but the corporate world, because this garbage gave human resources managers and management consultants a way to argue for more internal resources and relevance inside the firm. Here are some quotes from the…
Most would be shocked to learn how many legal professionals want a small cabal of jurists to control our lives. It is a failure of the entire legal community to continue accepting juristocrats within our profession and to refrain from calling out their anti-democratic beliefs.
WATCH: During a Federalist Society panel, Professor Philip Hamburger popped a bottle of champagne and raised a toast to celebrate the fall of the administrative state. He made sure to pour a glass for his co-panelist, Judge Neomi Rao of the DC Cir. Court of Appeals.
"Senate Democrats have an opportunity to reconfirm Lauren McFerran, the chair of the @NLRB, to another term at the agency, ensuring a Democratic majority into the second half of 2026." — @jamieson via @huffpost huffpost.com/entry/senate-d…
So far, Trump’s cabinet picks are no more “weird” or “extreme” or “clown car-ish” than George W. Bush’s. Bush’s just had Ivy League/Beltway credentials and DC lanyards, which is why liberals now remember them as sensible normies. But they were sociopaths.
Perfectly illustrated on The Daily today when Barbaro was trying a gotcha w/ Bernie on culture stuff after he had spent the interview explaining how economic populism and civil rights went together. Bernie’s take “You didn’t listen to a word I said Michael. That’s impressive”
We are at a critical point for the Dem Party. Neoliberals want to go hard right on culture—mostly by abandoning trans rights—to paper over the unpopularity of their corporate politics. While progressives want to embrace economic populism and not give away to culture wars hysteria
DOJ suit against RealPage ✅ There's still time to revive Robinson-Patman and endorse a broader labor exemption!
Competition policy wish list for rest of 2024 - FTC revival of Robinson-Patman Act (see ProPublica story for why) - DOJ suit against RealPage - Federal endorsement of broader labor exemption to cover organizing by independent contractors propublica.org/article/food-d…
I talked with @MaxKnoblauch about why I think state AGs will step up to fight the expected Trump corporate merger boom sherwood.news/power/wall-str…
"Democratic AGs have an inside track, not only because they can sue the Trump administration directly, but because they can through filing cases exhibit their values of fighting for working people over big business." Why the antimonopoly fight doesn't end with Khan and Kanter 👇
From me: The Trump administration will back off aggressive corporate enforcement. But state attorneys general can take on antitrust cases, and an initial salvo this week seeks to stop UnitedHealth from monopolizing home-health services. prospect.org/economy/2024-1…
My abundance agenda - Break up big tech which hoards the future - Regulate addictive social media which devours time - Ban exclusive dealing & noncompetes which destroy freedom - Ban price gouging giving oil monopolists a moat against renewables - Ban price crimes in housing
On Monday, I'll be giving my fourth and final lecture on labor, antitrust, and consumer protection at @NYUWagner It will focus on how @FTC can confront workplace surveillance and automated management. Details & link to RSVP are below.
In fact, “mini-FTC” Acts like Florida’s UDAP statute *already* incorporate FTC regs and administrative cases. State AGs across the country have an opportunity to carry the FTC’s work forward.
P.S. attorneys general & state legislators everywhere, violations of the click-to-cancel rule should also violate state law. Just because champions for working people like @chopracfpb & @linakhanFTC may eventually be going somewhere, doesn’t mean their work has to.
Yikes.
I’m excited by the news that the President-Elect will appoint @RobertKennedyJr to @HHSGov He helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA. I hope he leans into personal choice on vaccines rather than…
Every state should do this.
BIG WIN: A Maine ballot measure that fights back against Citizens United and places limits on donations to Super PACs has passed. It set a nationwide precedent and help get dark money out of our elections.
Tens of millions of people who never knew Lina Khan's name are going to miss her.
The FTC is forcing H&R Block to stop their deceptive promises of ‘free’ filing and other unfair practices. An @FTC action will now require the company to stop making it harder for people to downgrade to a cheaper service, and will also make H&R Block pay $7 million in fines.
