Completely anecdotal observation, but the current norm in Washington D.C. seems to single-viewpoint panels, where all the panelists — and often the moderator — basically agree.

"Seven years or until..." at this point.

Leader Thune filed cloture on Executive Calendar #37 Mark Meador to be a Federal Trade Commissioner for the term of seven years from September 26, 2024.

"We want to put an American flag on Mars. We want to fly supersonic again. We want drones to be delivering packages around the world. We want AI to be used by American workers to allow them to do their jobs better, safer and faster." @mkratsios47 🔥 https://t.co/ev5APMq36a

A week on, still not a lot of clarity around what Musk said was "a billion dollars for a simple online survey."

Bret Baier @BretBaier

Actually Steve Davis, who works with Musk at DOGE, corrected it in the interview saying that the online survey was part of an $830 million contract by the Department of the Interior that DOGE stopped.  We saw the internal emails and contract that was stopped to back that up.

One more beat on this, from my notebook — Bannon: “Biden, those guys, they picked great people, but never had their back." Then, gesturing towards Khan: “Kamala Harris I don’t think ever mentioned her name.”

A @mrddmia take on Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's White House visit yesterday:

🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸 @mrddmia

When you have a swamp rat cornered, you don’t invite it into your house for crackers and cheese. We are two weeks away from the FTC’s trial to hold accountable @Meta for crushing competition, shuttering small businesses, canceling conservatives, and rigging the 2020 election.

It's a little interesting. Booker doesn't have a huge record of demonstrated interest in competition policy but he's now the top Democrat on the Senate antitrust subcommittee.
