Millions of Americans are beginning to rely on AI agents.
But if those agents are controlled by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or Meta, whose interests are they really serving?

"Despite the recent formation of a food antitrust task force, the Trump administration has largely gutted government capacity to take on food corporations, and it walked back some moderate steps to change harmful business practices."
