between the corrupt supreme court and a 3-2 voting majority the fascists could already do whatever they want at the FTC. Firing the two Democrats was just scorched Earth shit, like paving the location of a napalm strike

axios.comMark Meador confirmed as FTC commissionerThe Senate on Thursday voted to confirm Republican Mark Meador as a commissioner for the FTC.
