I have a new study, co-authored with Abla Abdulkadir, that examines how the business press covered industry-specific price hikes over the last three years. Short 🧵 here on some of the highlights, with some fun charts, like this one. econone.com/wp-content/upl…
The @WSJopinion runs a piece claiming falsely that @BedoyaUSA and @SenWarren were wrong to blame anticompetitive conduct for higher egg prices. The author puts the onus instead on the avian flu--a factor conveniently beyond the control of egg sellers. Before publishing this PR…

wow, there's more. Chad Mizelle MAGA-washing for big biz Plus key point that what defense bar called "politicized" antitrust was predictable (b/c rule of law); whereas current "gangster antitrust" (to quote @HalSinger) is arbitrary opposite (b/c rule of lobbyists)

In a new op-ed for @TheSlingUtah I argue that judges now face a historic obligation: to impose sweeping structural remedies in antitrust cases like those against Google—or risk making the law meaningless. Link and thread👇
PBM Nightmare! Venu Julapalli, a practicing gastroenterologist and recent @UHLAW grad, writes about PBMs, gives a concrete example of the health nightmares PBM consolidation has created. Check it out: thesling.org/prior-authoriz…
There's big grassroots opposition to a proposed Live Nation venue here in my hometown of Portland, Maine. Last night, the city council voted 6-3 for a moratorium — a key step in stopping this predatory monopolist from destroying the local arts scene.
In a perfect world, I would have introduced you to @randykimesq with the release of his essay in @TheSlingUtah. Alas, his Twitter wasn't active until yesterday. Please accept my belated intro and consider giving him a follow. (And consider submitting your own piece to The Sling!)

@TheSlingUtah Full story here: thesling.org/no-the-tunney-…
Have you ever heard Lina Khan, Tim Wu, or Jonathan Kanter advocate for the abolition of large firms that do not abuse their dominance, or any kind of categorical limits on firm size? I have not. So in reality, it's Yglesias's straw-man argument that Randy Kim is rebutting.

Amazon used expert report/testimony in dark patterns case that was so bad-- so rent-a-PhD saying "because I have a PhD that's why" conclusory-- that he's totally excluded! Quite an achievement. Usually Daubert motions get denied, or nibbled down. Win for FTC w/o oral argument
Sad story of how the courts--and the DC Circuit in particular--defanged the Tunney Act, even after Congress amended it in 2004 to compel a public interest determination, by Darren Bush in @TheSlingUtah. Was Colbert fired to permit the Paramount sale to Skydance? We'll never know.
Darren Bush writes about the history of the Tunney Act. And while not all of the cases are in the DC Circuit, the vast majority are, and other circuits rely on DC Circuit caselaw and experience. Only one Tunney Act consent decree rejection. Ever. thesling.org/no-the-tunney-…

Through a mixture of campaign contributions, media control, and think tank funding, the oligarchs have become central players in shaping the policy landscape, far beyond what traditional corporate lobbying would suggest. thesling.org/the-abundance-…
New piece by Randy Kim in @TheSlingUtah that explores the abundance movement’s blindside—how economic concentration fuels political capture and the erosion of democracy via opaque new channels. thesling.org/the-abundance-…
Randy Kim's latest in the Sling: "The Abundance Movement’s Blindside: How Economic Concentration Fuels Political Capture in the Post-Citizens United Era." Adding to the abundance of failures in the abundance movement. Check it out! thesling.org/the-abundance-…
This is now my favorite thread of the day.
When introducing Farmers Union I often say we were established when farmers were fighting rail monopolies as if it’s past tense. Great piece in @TheSlingUtah about the latest effort to re-monopolize rail. #BreakEmUp thesling.org/the-trump-admi…
The business press was quick to trumpet the purported efficiencies of the pending Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger. With co-author Logan Summerlin, I explain why regulators should be deeply skeptical of such claims based on prior railroad tie-ups. thesling.org/the-trump-admi…
