“Today the Supreme Court gutted the independence of the FTC and handed Donald Trump political control over the agency responsible for protecting consumers and reining in corporate abuse. Once again, the Roberts majority delivered on the whims of billionaires and giant corporations.
“A Supreme Court that hands unchecked power to Donald Trump and his billionaire backers isn’t a court working for the American people – it’s a tool of oligarchy. And we must build a movement to bring long-overdue reform.”
