Although the FTC will always make sure businesses are following the law, both Abigail Slater and I are well aware of how the government is often responsible for onerous regulations and monopolies. Thank you President Donald J. Trump for making it stop.

🇺🇸 WATCH: Andrew Ferguson & Donald Trump Jr. discuss the FTC’s role in M&A: “M&A is part of how we innovate,” and the Trump FTC is committed to giving American firms the clarity they need to take risks and drive growth. This is how we will unlock America’s new Golden Age. ⬇️




🔥Today, Andrew Ferguson discussed the FTC’s new initiative to eliminate anticompetitive regulations with House Appropriations. “One of the biggest obstacles to competition, particularly for small and medium sized businesses, is regulation.” It’s time for America to compete again🇺🇸



🚨 Today, FTC and Antitrust Division filed a statement of interest in an antitrust lawsuit led by Attorney General Ken Paxton against BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard. Watch Andrew Ferguson discuss this case with House Appropriations ⬇️

Fantastic and informative meeting this morning with Homeland Security Investigations about the ways our two agencies can work together to enforce the Take It Down Act.



My colleague and friend Melissa Holyoak is both a great mom and an outstanding advocate for our nation’s children. Her remarks today were an important reminder about the threats our kids face online.


What an honor to host Clare Morell this afternoon. Can’t say enough about all of the important work she does.


Clare Morell Senator Katie Boyd Britt Mark Meador Mark Meador: It’s not all that hard to ascertain that there’s a relationship between smoking and lung disease. And it’s not all that hard to figure out that there’s a connection between anxiety and depression and a widespread shift to life online. #FTCProtectKids


It was a pleasure to meet with FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson and Commissioners Melissa Holyoak and Mark Meador this week. We had a great discussion on our shared priorities and how to strengthen interagency coordination.
