Those lawmakers, chairs of the House Judiciary committee and subcommittee on antitrust, ushered six antitrust bills targeting tech giants through marathon markup last week with the help of the top Republican on the subcommittee, Rep. Ken Buck
“Congress needs to provide additional tools and resources to our antitrust enforcers to go after Big Tech companies engaging in anticompetitive conduct,” Buck said after the ruling, highlighting some bipartisan consensus.
The bills would provide a new set of standards for the FTC and its new chair Lina Khan
“There would have been an entirely different regulatory framework in place, and it would circumvent lots of the issues that the judge found troubling,” former FTC chair William Kovacic told The Hill.

Community leaders call on Justice Department to ramp up police investigations
Elected officials and advocacy groups from cities across the country are calling for the pace of police investigation announcements by the Justice Department to increase.
Last month, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced pattern or practice investigations against the Louisville Metro and Minneapolis police departments following the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd in March and May 2020, respectively. These investigations which may result in court-ordered consent decrees came after four years of silence from the previous administration regarding police accountability.
Since those announcements, the district attorney of Westchester County, New York, and the mayor of Columbus, Ohio, have called on Garland and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to swing their attention to their municipalities.
