Quote for those who don't want to reddit.

Yes, big fan of Lina Khan, I worked with her in 2020 on the House report on antitrust (the House was controlled by Democrats back then). I've discussed this elsewhere, but certain events in 2022 made it very clear that further progress on antitrust was unlikely under Democratic leadership.

Edit: I see someone else already posted it. I will leave it here even if it's a duplicate for future self-shame.
