Trump's DOJ just dropped a major antitrust case against American Express Travel.
This comes after Amex hired lobbying firm Ballard Partners — the former employers of Pam Bondi — to lobby the DOJ on "antitrust issues."
Funny how that works.

I think the next Democratic administration should brandish a mighty antitrust bludgeon.
Everything the pro-Trump billionaire Ellison family will now own:
Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO

MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
And more...
With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.
Shameful.
