🤡 Trump’s firings at the FTC watchdog agency, explained /// Vox

The FTC’s setup is meant to tilt power toward the party in power, as the president picks the board’s chair. But it’s also supposed to reflect bipartisan priorities, as no more than three commissioners are supposed to come from either party. Unless Trump’s firings are overturned, the board will solely reflect Republican priorities, which Democratic critics say will mean a lax, pro-corporate approach to enforcement of consumer protections.
