The fact that billionaires hate her tells me she's doing a good job.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You come at Lina Khan, you come at me mother fucker. She is to be protected at all costs.
The only correct reply.
Bonus from AOC:
"Let me make this clear," Ocasio-Cortez declared Wednesday, "since billionaires have been trying to play footsie with the ticket: Anyone goes near Lina Khan and there will be an out and out brawl. And that is a promise. She proves this admin fights for working people. It would be terrible leadership to remove her."
This is probably going to be the first big canary for Kamala tho. If she listens to the billionaire donors and replaces Khan, the next 4 years are going to suck.
She's like the one bright spot from Biden's admin, and it's distressing that Khan isn't being highlighted in Kamal's campaign.
The Biden admin has done a lot of good during his term. It's disingenuous to say Kamala is the one bright spot. Student loan forgiveness is another big one.
Kamala isn’t the bright spot of the Biden Admin, Lina Khan is.
Yep. And you know you're on to something when both AOC and Sanders agree.
Lina Khan is a fucking national treasure. Mark Cuban is a useless third-rate trash human who fell into some money from a dotcom bubble buyout over 20 years ago and has done nothing constructive for society with his life.
Yeah, what a shithead.
You can do good and be a shit head. Hitler liked puppies and helped animals.
And was very anti smoking! But Cuban isn't running 17-million people into ovens either.
Supported no-fault divorces and the importance of female pleasure!
(So they'd make more babies for the army)
Are we really comparing Mark Cuban to Hitler? C'mon now...
I know it's an extreme analogy but it gets my point across.
I've heard that expression very recently for the first time. I think from watching Hal Sparks.
Helped people find jobs too.
Cuban is the best guy on Shark Tank. This is not a high bar, and isn't worthy of unqualified praise.
I’ll give him this one thing: his revamp of the Dallas Mavericks was well done at the time.
The billionaires should be mad at the head of the ftc.
