Last week, Andrew Ferguson, the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), called out Democrat governors for not cooperating with his agency\u2019s anti-fraud efforts.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/?p=2992\">Donald Trump returns millions of productive acres to the American people<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The details are damning. Ferguson says the administration has already uncovered tens of billions of dollars in government fraud, but blue states are refusing to hand over SNAP recipient data that could root out even more.<\/p>\n<p>Ferguson\u2019s message to stonewalling Democrats is blunt: work with us or explain why you won\u2019t. This is what leadership looks like, and it speaks to one of Donald Trump\u2019s most understated achievements: wholly and unequivocally reforming the FTC.<\/p>\n<p>Under Joe Biden, the FTC was turned into a hotbed of left-wing extremism that crusaded against companies and innocent Americans who had fallen out of favor with the administration.<\/p>\n<p>One of the greatest lies ever told was that Joe Biden was a moderate liberal. The man was an unabashed radical, and as president, he set about redefining the relationship between the American citizen and the state. The FTC became ground zero of this revolution.<\/p>\n<p>To lead the agency, Biden appointed Lina Khan, a product of left-wing academia who never found an American business she didn\u2019t want to cut down to size.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Khan, antitrust policy had been defined by the consumer welfare standard, which held that the feds should only intervene in a merger or other business action if it directly damaged consumers. Khan took a far more scattershot approach, unleashing the FTC on companies she and her fellow leftists simply didn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n<p>Barely an iconic American company was spared her wrath. John Deere was sued for competing for repairs on its own equipment. Pepsi was sued for daring to offer bulk pricing deals to big-box discount stores.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s FTC held that merely protecting consumers wasn\u2019t enough. Unelected bureaucrats should be a prime mover in the U.S. economy, with well-meaning businesses forced to fall in line and treated punitively if they fell out of favor.<\/p>\n<p>This was more czarist than democratic, a desecration of the American principle that government derives power from the people and must obey the same law it enforces.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/?p=2989\">Who here is surprised that \u2018trans men\u2019 have a hugely higher miscarriage rate?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Trump seems to prefer the original American Revolution. Upon taking office, he quickly sacked Khan and replaced her with Ferguson, who declared that \u201cinstead of doing the bidding of radicals, the FTC ought to be looking out for average Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit against Pepsi was dropped. A suit targeting Grand Canyon University for daring to be Christian was axed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Antitrust regulators approved a merger between tech companies Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Juniper Networks in the name of lowering prices and competing with abusive Chinese conglomerate Huawei. Top Justice Department official Stanley Woodward told antitrust regulators to stop seeking trials and start seeking settlements with companies.<\/p>\n<p>The spirit of FTC reform spread throughout the government. Businesses are no longer assailed for being businesses. Economic liberty, regulatory restraint, and the national interest are back in play.<\/p>\n<p>And it hasn\u2019t stopped at business. The same FTC that stood up to Khan\u2019s radicalism is now a major player in Vice President J.D. Vance\u2019s anti-fraud push. Whether it\u2019s a merger, a mandate, or a mountain of missing SNAP data, Democrats reflexively resist accountability, right up until they\u2019re forced into it.<\/p>\n<p>Yet it wasn\u2019t until last month that Biden\u2019s FTC revolution was fully, finally reversed. That was when the Supreme Court ruled that\u2014would you believe it?!\u2014FTC commissioners answer to the president and Trump was free to fire those who still clung to Khan\u2019s radical agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling sent a clear message: the Biden days are over. Government is subservient to the people and their elected representatives once again.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still work to do at the FTC, starting with the blue state governors still sitting on the SNAP data. But thanks to Trump<span>\u2019<\/span>s good sense, businesses once again have the predictability they need to thrive. The revolutionary zeal of Khan and her band of lunatics has been extinguished.<\/p>\n<p>No one would accuse Donald Trump of being boring. But one of his crowning achievements has been to make the FTC a little more boring\u2014while still helping the Americans who need it most.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/?p=2986\">Medical \u2018experts\u2019 make a case for death-by-organ-donation, as it\u2019s the \u2018next logical step\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Chuck Muth is the president of Citizen Outreach.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ChatGPT\" class=\"wp-image-2994\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/664c21693ebeb8536b3673d49cb7725f.jpg\" width=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/664c21693ebeb8536b3673d49cb7725f.jpg 640w, https:\/\/interstatelogisticshubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/664c21693ebeb8536b3673d49cb7725f-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Image generated by ChatGPT.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats are protecting fraudsters, and the Trump administration has had enough.
