Excellent work by @MorePerfectUS. The complaint that FTC Chair Ferguson dismissed describes a Walmart-Pepsi scheme involving sweetheart deals and price fixing—a scheme that forced competitors to charge you more so Walmart could claim the lowest prices. It was exciting to help tell this story.

More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

NEW: Walmart found a creative, illegal way to make sure they have the lowest prices. They're forcing companies to raise prices on any competitor who dares to sell items at a lower price than Walmart. They're using their size and reach to squeeze out stores across America.

The common wisdom is that this is part of a strategy to dismantle the Department of Education, but I think there’s a very good case that this is happening because Linda McMahon screwed up so badly that they had to take the loans away

On Saturday night, a gunfight with semi-automatic weapons broke out in an alley off East Capitol. I heard it 8 blocks away. It was behind my dear friend's house. At least 7 bullets went through her home—including a child's bedroom. No one died, so it didn't make the news. No public warning either. The ANC is right. We need better transparency, a real conversation in local elections, and better protection for DC residents. hillrag.com/2026/03/16/eas…

Notable but unsurprising that a national antimonopoly agency, independent courts, and strong bank regulation were listed among the "most important factors" for a strong institutional pro business framework.

A generation ago, Poland rationed sugar and flour while its citizens were paid one-tenth what West Germans earned. Today its economy has edged past Switzerland to become the world’s 20th largest with over $1 trillion in annual output. nbcnews.com/business/econo…

There’s no way to be an informed consumer when the market is reduced to a hallucinogenic scheme of deceptive advertising and randomly different prices. It’s the evisceration of fairness.

There was a shootout in our ANC last night. A family with kids is looking to move after 15 years here. A neighbor who has lived here 30 years said he’s never heard so many shots. I wish our mayoral candidates would stop pretending the District’s violent crime crisis is fixed.

Worried about data center tax breaks and resource consumption? Tune in to the Corpus Christi water crisis, ground zero for bad governance and corporate boondoggles: Gov. Abbott says city officials need to stop pointing fingers. He’s right. They all share blame for giving Exxon and Tesla massive tax breaks AND written guarantees of water. To build plants that opened in the middle of a historic drought and now consume 21 million gallons a day combined. But "stop pointing fingers" isn't a solution. What is? Revoke their tax breaks and make these corporations help fund the billion-dollar desalination plant taxpayers are currently on the hook for. What else? Don’t repeat these mistakes with data centers vying for sweetheart deals right now, all over the United States. They will consume our resources and give back almost nothing. texastribune.org/2026/03/10/tex…

Must read blistering report by @TexasTribune and @DylanBaddour about imminent disaster in my hometown. ✅Corporate subsidies to Exxon, Steel Dynamics, and (unmentioned) Elon Musk ✅Massive uncontrolled water consumption ✅Bumbling municipal planning This is a 🚨five-alarm🚨 fire and foreshadows what will happen across the country if we don't reign in data centers. The end result: ⌛️“Without significant rainfall, Corpus Christi is headed for a ‘water emergency’ within months and total depletion of the system next year, according to the city’s website." 📉 Officials predict "potential for an economic crisis involving mass layoffs, disruption of fuel supplies and billions of dollars in emergency spending to avoid an evacuation of the city." texastribune.org/2026/03/08/tex…

The Trump/Vance DOJ settled its Live Nation/Ticketmaster lawsuit. Below is the Admin's spin, but this is another corrupt failure. This monopoly still controls the entire live music industry (tours, venues, concessions, merch, tix), and uses its power to rip you off.

PS Trump was at the Port of Corpus Christ less than two weeks ago, talking about energy dominance. No water means no refineries. Not a word about water was spoken. The GOP candidate for State Ag Comm'r beat out a corrupt incumbent in last week's Texas primary. No water means no crops. Not a word about water on his website. Who is talking about it? @ClaytonTuckerTX, the Democratic candidate for Ag Comm'r running on a bold anti-monopoly agenda.

Adding a little context to this, judges in my experience are very protective of jurors. They are civilians called away from jobs and families to do their civic duty. A trial lawyer who wastes a jury's time does so at his own peril.

This is totally unreasonable. DOJ was lead and sandbagged the states.
