Two big wins for state attorneys general this week: First the jury verdict in the Live Nation Ticketmaster trial, and now the judge halting the Nexstar-Tegna merger. Stark divide between the federal and state approach to antitrust right now

In a big victory for customers across the nation, a court has stopped Nexstar’s merger with Tegna as our lawsuit continues. This win ensures local news remains independent and fees don’t climb higher. I'll keep fighting to enforce the law and protect the future of local TV.
NY AG James@NewYorkStateAG

Nexstar’s illegal merger with Tegna would hurt local news and raise fees for cable customers. I'm suing to stop it.   The law is clear. Mergers that substantially reduce competition are illegal.   We must protect consumers and safeguard the future of local TV.

The departure of @gailaslater could have gutted this case when the DOJ was focused on a sweetheart deal, not fighting for consumers. Instead, a bipartisan team of State AGs fought on and advanced the rule of law, not caving to the rule of lobbyists. coag.gov/blog-post/2026…

Congrats to the mighty State AG coalition that stood behind this case. You made antitrust history today. You fought the good fight, you finished the race, and you kept the faith.

For years, Ticketmaster/Live Nation has abused its power against musicians, fans, and venues, dominating the live music industry while worsening it for everyone else. This jury verdict holding that the company violated state and federal antitrust laws is a key first step towards ending Live Nation’s monopolistic control and securing real relief for those it harmed. Congratulations to the state attorneys general who kept litigating the case after the Trump DOJ settled cheaply and bailed.

We just won our trial against @LiveNation and @Ticketmaster.   A jury ruled in our favor and is holding the companies responsible for their illegal monopoly that cost consumers millions of dollars.   This is a landmark victory to protect New Yorkers from harmful monopolies.

It’s official: a jury found that Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly. I am so proud to have filed this case on 2024. This may be the most popular antitrust case ever. Kudos to the State AGs for finishing the job. The rule of law is alive and well.

.@TheJusticeDept's settlement would benefit Live Nation at the expense of consumers, and we cannot agree to it. My colleagues and I have a strong case, and we will continue our lawsuit and keep fighting to protect Americans without the federal government. politico.com/news/2026/03/0…

A bipartisan group of states is refusing to sign a settlement between DOJ and Live Nation. NY, AZ, CA and OH are just a few of the states continuing their high-profile antitrust lawsuit challenging the entertainment giant’s ticketing sales. politi.co/4aYYpVY

State attorneys general from across the country have filed a lawsuit to block the illegal effort to defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The lawsuit names CFPB's leadership and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors as defendants. politico.com/news/2025/12/2…

In Washington, Trump has shut down the CFPB. Meanwhile, NY has long had one of the weakest consumer protection laws in the country. No more. Now, the Attorney General’s office will have far stronger legal tools to protect the pocketbooks of consumers from unfair and abusive practices.

The Trump administration's latest attempt to completely defund the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a gift to predatory lenders, scammers, and other bad actors who try to cheat consumers.  I'm suing to stop this illegal effort and to preserve the CFPB.

The FAIR Business Practices Act is updating our consumer protection laws for the first time in 45 years. This law will allow my office to protect consumers and small businesses from unfair practices and lower costs for New Yorkers.

I'm suing @CapitalOne for cheating its customers with false advertising and misleading promises around its online savings accounts.    Capital One misled its customers about its high-interest savings account options to avoid paying them interest, costing people millions.
