Commissioners Bedoya and Slaughter worked tirelessly to hold billionaires and massive corporations accountable, so it's no surprise they've been targeted by Trump and Musk. This is yet another gift from Trump to the rich and powerful that profit off of ripping off consumers.

President Trump’s dismissals of Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter leave Republicans alone at the top of an agency meant to be independent of the White House.
Comments
He voted to cut Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid.
He was saying Republicans talking points at The View!
We would like to hear what concrete steps you are taking, rather than just reporting the incident. Thx
If the FTC is meant to be independent of the White House, how is Trump allowed to fire people from there?
Where does this so-called "independence" come in?
America is SO confused by this shit!
Fight them in court
The only Dems who aren't polling in the toilet are the ones explicitly standing up to Trump, and the Democratic Party is polling terribly.
Look, this Chuck thing isn’t going away. The voters aren’t standing for it anymore. You and I both know he has no future.
Let’s not waste more time. Call the confidence vote and we can move fwd with new energy.
The rank and file party and voters will support whoever calls it out.
How long before this goes before a judge and they get handed yet another embarrassing ruling?
Keep up the fight - don't give them an inch!
Trump won't stop until he is stopped. Start there. Act accordingly.

Where are the checks and balances that are supposed to protect us? How does Trump get away with this?
How is anyone elected to protect our country? OK with this?

Your words ring hollow, Senator.
“This is not just my story..”
“I am writing in the hope that someone out there – someone with the power to change any of this – can help do something.”
