FTC comes back swinging: The Tipline for 13 July 2023

The agency yesterday filed its intention to appeal against Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley's decision – confirming this saga, which also continues to grip authorities in the UK, is far from over. Also, in Tipline, PGA Tour and LIV Golf have found a new rival: The New York Times.
