“The Biden administration’s antitrust enforcers are doing something unthinkable in the final days of their tenure in government: They’re continuing to govern. Just this week, anti-monopoly regulators across various agencies finalized sweeping rules and also took new actions to crack down on corporate malfeasance harming consumers. It’s a stark contrast to how other branches of the government are treating the lame-duck period in preparation for the transition of power. Some Biden administration officials have even begun to resign early under pressure from Republicans, meekly making way for the incoming administration. While it’s not common for agencies to forge ahead so close to a transition of power, that kind of timidity is purely a formality.” [editor’s note: Another “progressive” babbling about why coercion works – SAT] (01/09/25)
