En dálogo con Mañanas Blu, Jorge Enrique Bedoya, presidente de la Sociedad de Agricultores de Colombia (SAC), expresó su preocupación y rechazo frente a la postura del presidente saliente, Gustavo Petro, respecto al reconocimiento de la victoria electoral de Abelardo De La Espriella. Según Bedoya, esta situación no solo genera incertidumbre política, sino que representa un riesgo directo para el orden institucional del país.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Alvaro Bedoya — the former FTC Commissioner whom Trump fired in an unprecedented break with a century of agency-independence norms — joins the Chuck Toddcast to explain why his firing matters far beyond his own career, and what it reveals about the collision between corporate power and consumer protection in the Trump era. Bedoya makes the legal case plainly: removal "for cause" is clearly written into the law, Congress needs to codify FTC independence, and while he's skeptical this Supreme Court will rule in favor of agency independence, the circumstances of his dismissal are damning — he believes he was fired specifically for suing companies that happened to be Trump donors. The Amazon case is his exhibit A: the FTC was actively pursuing Amazon until Trump intervened, and after Amazon funneled millions to Trump, the investigations simply evaporated — proof, Bedoya argues, that existing laws against bribery and corruption clearly aren't working. He walks through the sprawling, well-funded lobbying effort against meaningful privacy legislation, and offers vivid examples of how unchecked data collection harms ordinary people. His prescription is structural: America needs genuine restrictions on what data can be collected and how it can be used, paired with serious antitrust enforcement — but the agencies tasked with that work have been starved of the resources they need. The conversation opens up into a fascinating, wide-ranging debate about monopoly power and consolidation across the American economy. Bedoya argues that streaming bills were already climbing even before the proposed Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger — a deal he believes there's a clear consumer case to block. He notes that Thomas Jefferson once argued for an anti-monopoly amendment in the Bill of Rights, that consolidation has hammered workers across countless industries, and that America is now suffering a genuine "drought of creativity" because of relentless media mergers — pointing out that there are only three serious buyers of documentary films left, and that half of America's TV news archive is about to be owned by a single family. Bedoya is honest about the nuances (Costco throws its weight around but has genuinely been good for consumers; vertically integrated health insurers are universally loathed), wrestles with whether unilateral Democratic executive action is even the answer, and warns that in this environment it's dangerously easy for regulators to simply get overwhelmed.

Chuck Todd opens with the Iran ceasefire collapsing as the U.S. and Iran trade strikes again — but the real story, he argues, is that the U.S. military just inadvertently revealed Trump was lying about the war all along. The targets American forces hit in this latest round were the very targets Trump claimed weeks ago had already been destroyed; either Iran somehow reconstituted its entire military in a single week, or the president lied to the country, and CENTCOM's own report makes clear which it was. He warns that lying about war is historically not a small thing for a president to survive, no matter how badly Trump wants to memory-hole the entire episode. He then turns to the escalating Democratic fight over taxing billionaires, taking a characteristically nuanced position: billionaires are genuinely undertaxed, but "tax the rich" doesn't work as actual policy the way it works as a slogan, the loopholes built into the code exist to avoid unintended consequences, and the changes to the inheritance "death tax" are responsible for an enormous share of current inequality. He assesses Zohran Mamdani taking a victory lap as the new face of the DSA (and increasingly comfortable as a face of the Democratic Party), praising him as a genuinely compelling performer and possible heir to the Bernie movement while questioning whether his story can travel beyond New York City. He closes with one of his favorite structural arguments — that the far-left and far-right are now feeding off each other's fear, that a faction doesn't need to capture the whole country, just one congressional caucus, and that the founders' actual protection against factions was supposed to be a multitude of them — which is exactly why the House was meant to scale with the population and why Congress's choice to freeze its size needs to be reversed. He also looks ahead at fascinating Colorado primaries. Then, Alvaro Bedoya — the former FTC Commissioner whom Trump fired in an unprecedented break with a century of agency-independence norms — joins the Chuck Toddcast to explain why his firing matters far beyond his own career, and what it reveals about the collision between corporate power and consumer protection in the Trump era. Bedoya makes the legal case plainly: removal "for cause" is clearly written into the law, Congress needs to codify FTC independence, and while he's skeptical this Supreme Court will rule in favor of agency independence, the circumstances of his dismissal are damning — he believes he was fired specifically for suing companies that happened to be Trump donors.

En su momento me senté con Asier para que me contase cómo había sido todo el proceso de crear de cero una nueva aplicación de deporte para el entorno Apple. Hoy, dos años después, vuelven a este podcast los dos fundadores de Chubby Apps para explicarnos por qué han decidido reescribir la app Fitwoody desde cero para su versión 2.0. Han cambiado la interfaz completamente, las secciones y las ideas. Un nuevo comienzo que tiene mucho camino por delante.

As Matt argues, oligarchic control over the media is impossible without media consolidation, and the Jimmy Kimmel cancelation fiasco is in some ways secondary to the bigger problem of an undiversified media ecosystem. Bedoya, who is also the founding director of the Center on Privacy and Technology at Georgetown University Law Center, broadens the conversation into one about the founding fathers' original conception of the corporation, and the need to impose limits due to its fundamentally anti-democratic potential.

El misterioso caso de Ivonne Latorre, una joven modelo colombiana de 24 años, en El Cairo, Egipto, ha conmocionado a su familia y ha desatado una intensa búsqueda de respuestas. Lo que inicialmente se reportó como una caída desde un sexto piso, sus padres, Tito Latorre y Mary Sánchez, claman que fue un homicidio. Ivonne viajó a África para celebrar su cumpleaños y asistir al Zamna Festival, un evento de música electrónica, pero los días previos a su muerte estuvieron marcados por mensajes de alerta y circunstancias sospechosas que apuntan a una trama mucho más oscura. La cronología de los hechos revela que Ivonne, junto a su amiga Estefanía Bedoya, conoció a varios individuos en el festival, incluyendo a un "doctor", un "dealer", un "serbio" y una "dama de compañía" llamada Jessi. Según los testimonios, Ivonne se sintió insegura y, tras una discusión con Jessi en una gasolinera, envió mensajes alarmantes a sus amigas. En uno de ellos, mencionaba directamente a "Jessi Escobar" como la responsable si algo le pasaba, y en otro, pedía a una amiga mexicana que llamara a la policía por un posible secuestro, proporcionando su ubicación. A pesar de los intentos de alertar a las autoridades locales, la ayuda no llegó, y la conexión con Ivonne se perdió. Días después, sus padres fueron notificados de su desaparición y posterior hospitalización, para finalmente recibir la trágica noticia de su fallecimiento. Este caso, que combina la investigación oficial con la desesperada lucha de una familia por la verdad, ha generado un debate sobre la seguridad de los jóvenes en el extranjero y la eficacia de las autoridades en casos de desapariciones y muertes en circunstancias inusuales.

(15 de septiembre: Aniversario del Acta de Independencia Centroamericana) Era el 14 de septiembre de 1821, víspera del día en que se había convocado a una reunión en el Palacio de Gobierno de Guatemala entre autoridades de las provincias y representantes de la universidad, de la Iglesia y de las autoridades civiles a fin de decidir si Centroamérica habría de separarse de España. Uno de ellos, que apoyaba decididamente las aspiraciones independentistas, era el guatemalteco Pedro Molina. Esa víspera, su esposa, María Dolores Bedoya, mostrando lo solidaria que era con él en sus convicciones políticas, visitó los barrios más habitados de la ciudad, invitó a su vez al pueblo a una reunión frente al palacio con el propósito de llenar la plaza en apoyo a la independencia, y se encargó de que hubiera música y fuegos artificiales para festejar la esperada proclama. Durante la histórica reunión del día siguiente, mientras los cincuenta y seis miembros de la junta presentaban sus argumentos a favor y en contra de la declaración de independencia, Bedoya arengaba al pueblo en la plaza. Pero al comenzar a repetirse los argumentos para retrasar la proclama de independencia, comenzaron también a oírse en el recinto explosiones de pólvora, cohetes y música. Fue tal la algarabía que los opositores a la independencia creyeron que había estallado la revolución y se apresuraron a proclamarla.1 En el prólogo del acta misma de independencia redactada por José Cecilio del Valle consta que llegaron al acuerdo «congregados todos en el mismo salón; leídos los oficios expresados; discutido y meditado detenidamente el asunto, y oído el clamor de “¡Viva la independencia!” que repetía lleno de entusiasmo el pueblo que se veía reunido en las calles, plaza, patio, corredores y antesala de este palacio...»2 Por eso algunos historiadores sostienen que la agitación del pueblo de parte de María Dolores Bedoya contribuyó a que se proclamara la independencia centroamericana. Y por eso en algunas ciudades centroamericanas en la víspera del 15 de septiembre los niños celebran un desfile con faroles iluminados.3 Entre otras cosas, en el acta «se acordó... que siendo la Independencia del Gobierno Español la voluntad general del pueblo..., el Señor Jefe Político la mande publicar para prevenir las consecuencias, que serían temibles en el caso de que la proclamase de hecho el mismo pueblo.... [y] que [siendo] la paz y sosiego... la primera necesidad de los pueblos cuando pasan de un gobierno a otro,... los que estando unidos en el sentimiento general de la independencia deben estarlo también en todo lo demás, sofocando pasiones individuales que dividen los ánimos y producen funestas consecuencias.»4 Quiera Dios que así como en el siglo diecinueve el aludido Jefe Político Gabino Gaínza, último gobernador español en Centroamérica, no sólo firmó el acta sino que logró que las autoridades españolas aceptaran la nueva situación pacíficamente sin que tuviera que derramarse sangre en batalla alguna,5 también nosotros en el siglo veintiuno sofoquemos pasiones individuales y busquemos la paz. Pues si buscamos la paz y la seguimos, sostiene San Pedro, podremos «gozar de días felices».6 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 «Independencia de Centroamérica», La Nación En línea 6 septiembre 2008; Luis Arritola, «Mujeres insurgentes», La Opinión En línea 10 abril 2009. 2 «Acta de Independencia del 15 de septiembre de 1821» En línea 10 febrero 2009. 3 «México y América Central festejan casi dos siglos de independencia», La Opinión En línea 10 abril 2009; Wikipedia, s.v. «María Dolores Bedoya» En línea 10 abril 2009. 4 «Acta de Independencia del 15 de septiembre de 1821». 5 «Independencia de Centroamérica», La Nación. 6 1P 3:10-11

Leave your commentWhat if your next sales hire wasn't human?In this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Isabella Bedoya, Co-CEO of Infinite AI, shares how sales teams are evolving by bringing AI “employees” into the mix. We go beyond the hype to explore practical use cases, ethical concerns, and the new skills sales pros must master to stay competitive in this AI-enabled landscape.Whether you're curious, cautious, or already experimenting with AI, this episode will help you think more strategically about the future of your sales team.1. AI Employees Are Not Just Chatbots Isabella defines AI employees as task-performing agents embedded in workflows, not just tools you prompt, but systems that take action automatically across SMS, email, calls, and CRM. Think of them as digital team members handling your follow-ups, reactivations, and more.2. Sales Reps Won't Be Replaced, But They Will Be Repositioned AI handles the mundane and repetitive. Human reps move into strategist roles managing AI workflows, handling complex objections, and owning the emotional intelligence required to close.3. Scaling Outreach Without Scaling Headcount Instead of hiring more SDRs or BDRs, companies are using AI to nurture leads, qualify opportunities, and schedule demos. It's not theory, it's happening now, and Isabella walks us through real-world use cases like post-trade-show follow-ups and digital sales assistants.4. Trust Isn't Lost, It's Rebuilt Through Value AI can build trust when it delivers consistently valuable, fast responses. If it's trained well, it may outperform junior reps. Still, Isabella emphasizes that closing deals and earning emotional buy-in remains a human function for now.5. New Role of the Seller: Coach, Manager, Strategist Sales pros will soon manage a team of AI agents, much like GMs in “Moneyball.” The skills to build prompts, tweak workflows, and analyze data will be key differentiators. Coaching AI and being coached by it will become a real scenario in sales teams.The rise of AI employees in sales isn't about replacing talent, it's about redeploying it. As Isabella says, the reps who win will be the ones who embrace these tools, build systems, and create more space for the kind of selling only humans can do.Sales isn't going away. It's getting smarter. Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!

Last week, President Donald Trump ordered the firing of two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission, an independent agency that enforces federal consumer protection and competition laws and that, under former President Joe Biden, turned up its scrutiny of the tech sector's biggest companies. The two commissioners, Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, plan to challenge Trump's firing, which they said will only benefit billionaire tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos.Tech Policy Press Associate Editor Cristiano Lima-Strong spoke to Bedoya on Monday, March 24.
President Trump fired Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter, the two Democratic commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission, last week, sending shock waves through political and business circles. The FTC is an independent, bipartisan agency and, as a defender of antitrust and consumer protection laws, one of the most important government watchdogs. FTC commissioners serve seven year terms and, according to a 1935 SCOTUS ruling, can only be fired for cause. But even though, based on that decision, Bedoya's and Slaughter's terminations are illegal, FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson has come out in support of Trump's firing power. The White House says it's ready to take the case to the Supreme Court. Kara talks to Bedoya and Slaughter about why this happened now, what Elon Musk and other tech billionaires stand to gain by getting rid of “minority commissioners,” and why business leaders are concerned that Trump's move could affect other independent agencies, like the Federal Reserve.

Ralph welcomes New York Times journalist, David Enrich, author of “Murder the Truth” an in-depth exposé of the attack on freedom of the press as protected by the landmark Supreme Court decision “Sullivan v. The New York Times.” Also, Professor Michael Graetz a leading authority on tax politics and policy joins to discuss his book “The Power to Destroy: How the Antitax Movement Hijacked America.” Plus, our resident constitutional scholar, Bruce Fein, updates us on his latest efforts to push for the impeachment of Donald Trump.David Enrich is the business investigations editor for The New York Times. He writes about the intersection of law and business, including the power wielded by giant corporate law firms and the changing contours of the First Amendment and libel law. His latest book is titled Murder the Truth: Fear, the First Amendment, and a Secret Campaign to Protect the Powerful, an in-depth exposé of the broad campaign—orchestrated by elite Americans—to overturn sixty years of Supreme Court precedent, weaponize our speech laws, and silence dissent.When all the institutions are crushed by a dictator in the White House, it's only the people that can save the people.Ralph NaderThe interesting thing was that Fox, and these other right-wing outlets for years had been kind of banging the drum against New York Times v. Sullivan and against the protections that many journalists have come to count on. And then they get sued and their immediate fallback is to very happily cite New York Times v. Sullivan.David EnrichThese threats and these lawsuits have become an extremely popular weapon among everyone from the President down to mayors, city council members, local real estate development companies, on and on and on…And the direct result of that will be that powerful people, companies, organizations, institutions are going to be able to do bad things without anyone knowing about it.David EnrichPeople keep asking me what they can do, what they should do. And I think the answer is really to try and understand these issues. They're complicated, but they're also getting deliberately misframed and misrepresented often, especially on the right, but sometimes not on the right. And I think it's really important for people to understand the importance of New York Times v. Sullivan, and to understand the grave threats facing journalists, especially at the local level right now, and the consequences that could have for our democracy.David EnrichMichael Graetz is professor emeritus at Columbia Law School and Yale Law School and a leading authority on tax politics and policy. He served in the U.S. Treasury's Office of Tax Policy and is the author and coauthor of many books, including Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Fight over Taxing Inherited Wealth and The Burger Court and the Rise of the Judicial Right. His latest book is The Power to Destroy: How the Antitax Movement Hijacked America.I spent a lot of time asking people to name the most important political and social movements of the last half century. And no surprise, they named the civil rights movement, the women's movement, the LGBTQ movement, the Christian Evangelical movement, the MAGA movement lately, but no one ever mentioned the anti-tax movement. And unlike the other movements I've named, the anti-tax movement is really the only one that has not suffered a serious setback in the past half century.Michael GraetzThe anti-tax movement has always relied on a false dichotomy between “us” (those who pay taxes) and “them” (those who receive government benefits).Michael GraetzThe Democrats now don't want to tax 98% of the people and the Republicans don't want to tax 100% of the people and the question is: how do you get anywhere with those kinds of firm “no new taxes” pledges? And that's a problem. And I think it's a problem that the Democrats have fallen into basically based on the success of the Republicans antitax coalition.Michael GraetzYou're going to see individuals' budgets pinched because the federal government refuses to treat its budget with any degree of seriousness.Michael GraetzThe label they use to justify tax cuts for the rich and the corporate they call them the “job creators.” Well, that has not been proven at all.Ralph NaderBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.Certainly, the current Congress is not going to act without citizen involvement, pressure, clamoring that they do something to save the processes which are the heart and soul of our civilization as opposed to the law of the jungle.Bruce FeinNews 3/19/251. The AP reports that on Tuesday Israel broke the U.S.-brokered ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, launching airstrikes that have killed over 400 Palestinians. These strikes, which have killed mostly women and children, are described as “open-ended and expected to expand.” This new offensive began the same day Prime Minister Netanyahu was scheduled to appear in court to provide testimony in his corruption trial; according to Israeli broadcaster KAN News, Netanyahu used the surprise attack to annul this court date.2. This new offensive endangers the lives of some two dozen Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza. These hostages would have been released as part of the prisoner exchanges brokered through the ceasefire agreement. In order to dissuade further escalation, journalist Dimi Reider reports “Israeli hostage families are trying to make a human chain around Gaza to physically block a ground incursion.” This human chain includes prominent Israeli activist Einav Zangauker, whose son is still held in Gaza and who has made herself an implacable opponent of Netanyahu.3. On the home front, a new round of state-backed repression is underway, targeted at pro-Palestine activists on college and university campuses. The Mahmoud Khalil case has received perhaps the most attention and with good reason. Khalil is a legal permanent resident of the United States and is married to a U.S. citizen who is eight months pregnant. He has long been active in pro-Palestine organizing at the college, which White House officials have claimed make him a “threat to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States.” The Trump administration has refused to honor Khalil's Constitutional rights – including refusing to let him meet with his lawyer – and has admitted that they are persecuting him on the basis of political speech, a clear-cut violation of the First Amendment. A White House official explicitly told the Free Press, “The allegation…is not that he was breaking the law.” In addition to Khalil however, Columbia has taken the opportunity to expel, suspend and revoke the degrees of 22 students involved in the Hind's Hall occupation last year, per the Middle East Eye. This raft of penalizations includes the expulsion of Grant Miner, President of UAW Local 2710, which represents thousands of Columbia student workers. Per the UAW, “the firing comes one day before contract negotiations were set to open with the University.” The timing of this expulsion is suspicious to say the least.4. Yet, even in the face of such repression, pro-Palestine campus activism perseveres. Democracy Now! reports that on March 14th, Harvard Law School students “overwhelmingly passed a referendum calling on Harvard to divest its more than $50 billion endowment from ‘weapons, surveillance technology, and other companies aiding violations of international humanitarian law, including Israel's genocide in Gaza and its ongoing illegal occupation of Palestine.'” The Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee adds that the referendum passed with approximately 73% of the vote, an unquestionably decisive margin. Even still, the university is unlikely to even consider adopting the resolution.5. The resilience of student activists in the face of state-backed repression highlights the fecklessness of elected Democrats. The political leadership of New York for example has not mobilized to defend Mahmoud Khalil from authoritarian overreach by the federal government. Even locally, none of the current mayoral hopefuls – a rather underwhelming lot including the comically corrupt incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and former Governor Andrew Cuomo, infamous for killing thousands of seniors via his Covid policies and for the pervasive culture of sexual harassment in his office – have forcefully spoken up for Khalil. That is except for Zohran Mamdani, the DSA-endorsed mayoral candidate steadily climbing in the polls thanks to his popular message and well-crafted political ads. His advocacy on behalf of Khalil seems to have won him the support of perhaps the most principled progressive in Congress, Rashida Tlaib, who likewise is leading the meager Congressional effort to pressure the administration to rescind the disappearance of Khalil.6. In light of their anemic response to Trump and Trumpism, Democratic discontent is reaching a boiling point. A flashpoint emerged last week when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer opted not to fight the Republican budget proposal and vote for cloture instead of shutting down the government. Democratic voters were so incensed by this decision that Schumer was forced to postpone his book tour and the Democratic Party registered its lowest ever approval ratings, with just seven percent of voters saying they have a “very positive” view of the party. As this debacle unfolded, House Democrats were at a retreat in Leesburg, Virginia where AOC “slammed…[Schumer's]…decision to ‘completely roll over and give up on protecting the Constitution.'” One member told CNN Democrats in Leesburg were “so mad” that even centrists were “ready to write checks for AOC for Senate.” And Pass the Torch, the grassroots progressive group that called for President Biden withdraw from the 2024 campaign is now calling for Schumer to resign as minority leader, the Hill reports. In their statement, the group writes “[Schumer's] sole job is to fight MAGA's fascist takeover of our democracy — instead, he's directly enabling it. Americans desperately need a real opposition party to stand up to Trump.”7. In the early evening on Tuesday March 18th, Trump unlawfully dismissed the two remaining Democrats on the Federal Trade Commission, POLITICO reports. One Commissioner, Alvaro Bedoya, tweeted “The President just illegally fired me.” Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter was also ousted from her post. In her statement, she wrote that her dismissal violated “the plain language of a statute and clear Supreme Court precedent. Why? Because…[Trump] is afraid of what I'll tell the American people.” Trump similarly violated the law when he dismissed National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox who filed a lawsuit which prevailed in federal district court. POLITICO reports she returned to work last week. Biden's superstar FTC Chair Lina Khan, already ousted by Trump, commented “The @FTC must enforce the law without fear or favor. The administration's illegal attempt to fire Commissioners Slaughter & Bedoya is a disturbing sign that this FTC won't. It's a gift to corporate lawbreakers that squeeze American consumers, workers, and honest businesses.” On March 19th, Bedoya added “Don't worry…We are still commissioners. We're suing to make that clear for everyone.”8. Trump's radical deregulatory agenda could not come at a worse time. Amid a streak of horrific aviation accidents and incidents, it now appears that Elon Musk is seeking to permanently worm his way into the Federal Aviation Administration. Forbes reports that the Campaign Legal Center has filed a legal complaint with the Office of the Inspector General of the Transportation Department alleging that Musk may have violated conflict of interest laws through his “involvement with a deal between the Federal Aviation Administration and his own company Starlink.” Per the Washington Post, the FAA is “close to canceling” its existing $2.4 billion contract with Verizon in favor of working with Starlink, and according to the legal complaint, Musk “appears to have personally and substantially participated” in these negotiations. This matter will have to play out in court, but the risks are very real. As Representative Greg Casar put it, “Musk is trying to make our air traffic control system ‘dependent' on him by integrating his equipment, which has not gone through security and risk-management review. It's corruption. And it's dangerous.”9. In more Musk news, President Trump has announced that he will institute a new rule classifying any attack on Tesla dealers as domestic terrorism, Reuters reports. This comes in response to the peaceful, so-called “Tesla Takedown” protests, which urge participants to “Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines.” Any connection between the protests and isolated cases of vandalism against Teslas or Tesla dealerships is tenuous at most. Instead, this theatrical display of support for the auto manufacturer seems to be a response Tesla's declining stock value. Reuters reports “Tesla's market capitalization has more than halved since hitting an all-time high of $1.5 trillion on December 17, erasing most of the gains the stock made after Musk-backed Trump won the U.S. election in November.” It seems unlikely that invoking the iron fist of the state against peaceful protestors will do much to buoy Tesla's market position.10. Finally, in a humiliating bit of tragic irony, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has long maintained a personal brand as a crusader against junk food, is being deployed by the Trump administration to boost the fast food chain Steak ‘n Shake. Ostensibly, the endorsement is predicated on the chain using beef tallow rather than seed oils to prepare their French fries – the company called it “RFK'ing the fries” – yet even that claim appears shaky. According to NBC, “the chain's move inspired some in the [Make America Healthy Again] world to look deeper… finding that [Steak ‘n Shake's] fries were precooked in seed oils.” Nevertheless, RFK's endorsement has been echoed by many others in Trump-world, including Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kari Lake, Charlie Kirk, and others. NBC adds that in February, Tesla announced it had signed a deal to build charging stations at Steak 'n Shake locations. Funny how Musk's fingers seem to appear in every pie, or in this case grasping at every tallow French fry.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Echoing Richard Nixon's infamous Saturday Night Massacre purge during Watergate, President Donald Trump this week moved to fire both Democratic commissioners at the Federal Trade Commission, which had been investigating some of Trump's biggest corporate boosters. These weren't routine pink slips given during an administration turnover. Trump fired Senate-confirmed commissioners at an agency that Congress — by law — deliberately created to be independent from the executive branch's control. Hours after receiving Trump's termination letter, FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya spoke with Lever Time's David Sirota about why this is a battle over not just one federal agency, but over whether the presidency will end up becoming a corrupt monarchy — one that will benefit only those who kiss the king's ring. Bedoya is now taking Trump to court in a battle that he says is barreling toward the Supreme Court. This is a free version of an episode that was released earlier for paid subscribers.
