Fake news: The Tipline for 16 March 2018

We are on the Hill today for the next briefing by the Congressional Antitrust Caucus, this time on the subject of how concentrated economic power affects political inequality. Caucus members and congressmen attending include Mark Pocan, Rick Nolan, Keith Ellison and David Cicilline, the highest-ranking Democrat on the House of Representatives’ antitrust subcommittee. Speakers include Public Citizen president Robert Weissman, Open Markets Institute executive director Barry Lynn, and Fordham law professor Zephyr Teachout, who made a strong run at the New York Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 2014. But our ears are still burning from the final AT&T pre-trial conference – see News & Notes for more.
