America First Legal Calls for Antitrust Investigation into 'Anticompetitive' Apple-OpenAI Arrangement America First Legal Foundation urged Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to investigate what the group believes is an anticompetitive deal that made ChatGPT the sole generative AI chatbot integrated into the iPhone and other Apple products.

The Web Is An Antitrust Wedge - Infrequently Noted Armed with new powers to rein in the worst excesses of mobile's duopolists, regulators around the world are struggling to find their footing. The UK's CMA is only the latest to pose capitulation as success. Far from unlocking growth and dynamism, regulatory timidity is reducing enforcers' future room for manoeuvre and hampering home-grown competitors to Big Tech. Unleashing the web would fix a great deal of what's broken, but regulators are falling down on the job. It's time we spoke plainly about it.

🔥 Adam's Afternoon Hot Take

The web as antitrust lever is correct, but this post spends more energy on outrage than enforcement mechanics. What would functional browser competition actually require? Mandate sideloading? Kill webkit lock-in?

Monopoly Round-Up: Lina Khan Is Back Pam Bondi got fired, Sysco buys Restaurant Depot, CBS lies about California gas prices, a private equity roll-up is killing bowling leagues, and Palantir will help the IRS do audits.

1/3 🚨 LEADERSHIP VACUUM. With Pam Bondi fired, the DOJ's review of the $110B Paramount-WBD deal is in total chaos. David Ellison’s "fast track" just hit a brick wall. 🛑🏛️ #Paramount #WBD #Antitrust

1/3 🚨 THE ROTTEN CORE. From $90B in "junk" debt to 15% interest rates from war-torn Gulf funds, the Paramount-WBD merger is officially a toxic asset. The market is pricing it for death at ~$9.50. 📉🤢 #Paramount #WBD #Antitrust

6/6 📣 CALL TO ACTION: @Vanguard_Group @BlackRock @StateStreet—The numbers don't lie. Protect shareholder value. VOTE NO on April 23. 🗳️ #Antitrust #StockMarket #FinanceBlueSky #WarnerBrosDiscovery

1/4 🚩 THE UNRAVELING. Between Pam Bondi’s firing and the WGA’s new warpath, the Paramount-WBD merger is officially in the "Danger Zone." David Ellison’s 2026 closing date is looking like a pipe dream. #Paramount #WBD #Antitrust

1/3 🚨 LABOR JOINS THE FIGHT. Even as the WGA secures a new 4-year contract with studios, they aren't backing down on the Paramount-WBD merger. They’ve officially vowed to "work with regulators" to BLOCK the $110B deal. ✍️🚫 #WGA #ParamountWBD #Antitrust

🏁 BOTTOM LINE: Hollywood's backbone—the exhibitors—are no longer silent. Between the DOJ chaos, the AG lawsuits, and now the theaters, the "absolute confidence" in this 2026 closing is looking like a fantasy. 🎞️ #Movies #StreamingWars #Antitrust

1/6 🚨 STATE AGs STRIKE. A coalition of State Attorneys General (led by CA’s Rob Bonta) is moving to block the $110B Paramount/WBD deal. They aren't just worried about streaming—they’re targeting "media deserts" and the death of local news. 📺 #Antitrust #Paramount #WBD

1/5 🚨 THE AGs WEIGH IN. A coalition of State Attorneys General (led by CA’s Rob Bonta) isn't just "watching" the $110B Paramount/WBD deal anymore—they are actively moving to block it. This isn't just about movies; it’s about local news and "media deserts." 📺 #Paramount #WBD #Antitrust

New hurdle: Pam Bondi is GONE. The "get out of jail free" card just got shredded. With the AG out, the DOJ’s career antitrust hawks are officially off the leash. If you thought this was a "fast-track" deal, you’re hallucinating. 🦅🚫 #Antitrust #DOJ

Is this "crony capitalism" or just a very expensive group project where everyone hates their partner? Either way, the only thing streaming faster than Paramount+ is the exits at the DOJ. Stay tuned for the April 23 finale! 🎬📺 #Antitrust #MergerMadness

Meet the High-Stakes Gambler Waging Total War on David Ellison’s Paramount In his first sit-down interview, provocateur R.J. Cipriani lays out his $150 million case against studio president Jeff Shell, the Ellisons and a Hollywood establishment he claims is running scared: "...

Buckle up, film nerds and antitrust enthusiasts. 🍿 The Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger isn’t just a "business deal"—it’s a $111 billion hostage situation where the hostages are your favorite franchises and about 10,000 jobs. 🧵 #StopTheMerger #ParamountWBD #Antitrust

Paramount is trading at $9.19 because the market smells the "Glass House" shattering. If the DOJ finds even one clause giving foreign backers "content input," the deal is dead on arrival. 🛑🎬 #Antitrust #SaveHollywood

The DOJ's "National Security" file just got 10x thicker. You cannot hand the keys to CBS and CNN to foreign governments while their sovereign wealth funds are "reviewing strategy" during an active war with U.S. troops on the ground. It’s an antitrust AND a security DOA. 🛑 #Antitrust #StopTheMerger

The DOJ doesn't even need to block it anymore—the interest rates will do it for them. Paramount is officially "Junk" status. Trying to borrow $80B in a wartime economy is like trying to buy a house with Monopoly money while the bank is on fire. 🏛️🔥 #Antitrust #DebtTrap

The "National Security" argument just got a massive upgrade. Does the DOJ really want to hand control of CBS and CNN to foreign sovereign wealth funds while we're in a direct military conflict with the region's main adversary? 🛑📺 #NationalSecurity #Antitrust
