Headline and text from article. Headline: Trump Illegally Purges FTC’s Democratic Commissioners, Gutting What’s Left Of Agency Independence from the the-purges-will-continue-until-loyalty-improves dept Wed, Mar 19th 2025 09:32am - Mike Masnick Text: In an unprecedented move that flatly violates federal law, Donald Trump on Tuesday fired both Democratic commissioners from the Federal Trade Commission — Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya. The illegal purge represents a direct assault on the independence of the consumer protection agency. While presidents have always wielded influence over independent agencies through their power to appoint chairs and maintain three to two partisan majorities, the law explicitly protects commissioners from being fired without cause. Trump’s attempt to remove Slaughter and Bedoya — apparently for nothing more than being Democrats who might question his agenda — shows a complete disregard for these vital safeguards. It is customary for the chair to step down when a new administration of a different party comes in, and former FTC chair Lina Khan obliged and left as Donald Trump was inaugurated. Apparently having that typical 3 to 2 majority was not enough for Trump. In the Trump/Musk world of unlimited, unrestrained executive power, apparently any Democratic voice must be purged.
