All across MD, we'll share how David Trone has failed to follow President Biden's leadership in standing up for economic liberty and challenging monopolies.

Instead, he's just another billionaire bully who harms small businesses, workers, and our economy.

This ad is brutal but very unsurprising that Trone would yell at worker. Glad the Total Wine FTC case is being highlighted. It’s make no sense that he still owns this company while in congress.

If he wins, Hogan will have plenty of Oppo to use against him.

In Maryland, David Trone has been dodging debates, but he won’t be able to hide from his history of bullying small businesses and workers.

We don't need another billionaire bully.

Republicans are actually trying to increase credit card fees.

They're doing the bidding of the big credit card companies and leaving the American people out to dry.

Democrats will not allow the Republicans' bill to become law.

🚨NEW: Apple didn't allow Jon Stewart to interview Lina Khan or discuss certain topics when his show was on AppleTV+

A clear example of concerns Antitrust Division highlighted in its antitrust suit.

Apple can use its power to exercise control over content it doesn't approve of.

I've been so busy traveling that I didn't tweet about this great new guide to rent-setting software algorithms (and how to stop them) that we put out with our friends at Local Progress.

But it's good and important and you should read it!

Skeptical? Here’s a 🧵 that busts some Apple myths.

Spoiler alert: it's more than just green bubbles.👇

.FTC’s new suit to block Kroger-Albertsons will turn the tide on decades of food industry consolidation behind today’s exorbitant grocery prices.

There’s already been a huge outpouring of support from policymakers, labor, and consumer & farmer advocates. We’re keeping track👇🧵

I am pleased to report that my bill to protect consumers from junk fees passed the Senate floor with bipartisan support! Virginia just took a huge step forward towards better protections for hard working Virginians and competitive business practices.

Too many online shoppers get hit with hidden fees that don’t show up until the last possible moment. My Junk Fee Prevention Act would solve this by requiring businesses to clearly disclose fees up front - looking forward to getting this done for New York consumers

Submitted my letter supporting the FTC’s effort banning junk fees--bogus charges like “service” and “convenience” fees. The ban will help honest businesses compete with big corporations & save all Floridians money.
