Health Care Antitrust and Competition Policy.

@mattyglesias No such thing as an antitrust waiver, the DOJ and FTC don’t have that authority. Congress can grant exemptions and immunities. The enforcers can issue statements of prosecutorial discretion saying how they plan to enforce but they can’t waive the law.

[Gregg Nunziata @greggnunziata]

Senior DOJ leadership has willingly put politics before the law, servility to the president before their oaths, and overseen the destruction of the department. They've either actively done this or refused to resign with honor; their dishonor should follow them forever.

[Gregg Nunziata @greggnunziata]

Let's be clear.

@DAGToddBlanche and @FBIDirectorKash are actively betraying their oaths and their country.

I don't know if they do it out of ambition or active malice, but it's a corrupt abuse of power.

This is disgraceful. The shame should mark them forever.

[Andy McCarthy @AndrewCMcCarthy]

If support for incumbent the president is now a condition of enforcing federal law, Congress should defund DOJ. DOJ should only exist if it’s nonpartisan. Too dangerous to liberty otherwise. If AG Garland’s office had posted this, MAGA & GOP would be calling for impeachment.

@GreenPlusAnE @EricBoehm87 A small amount of nuance would make you more persuasive. I am approaching eligibility, it’s been clear for decades that the fund would be broke when it was my time to collect. I also complained about it in my 20s but it’s always clearly been an entitlement not a property right

Cogent and concise thread on the FTC’s Amazon complaint

[Chris Conlon @conlon_chris]

#econtwitter should take a look at the (heavily redacted) @FTC Amazon complaint that came out recently.

Given past experience, this case will likely not be resolved for 3-20 years.

Not everything is visible -- but I'll give my best guesses below.. 1/

@EmilyG_DC @ReedAbelson @RepSpartz @RepJayapal @FTC @JusticeATR has authority to sue for antitrust violations committed by non profits, including hospitals

[Josh Wright @JoshWright1977]

Here is my quick take on the FTC's new Section 5 UMC Policy Statement, what it is missing, and the troubles it will likely face if the agency relies upon it to bring UMC cases.

A message from Vice Chair @RepLizCheney about Thursday’s hearing.

[Joe Miller @joemillerDC]

@mattyglesias There is a separate Health Care litigation section focused on conduct cases instead of merger cases, covering pay for delay pharma cases and physician conduct cases

[Joe Miller @joemillerDC]

@mattyglesias “Health care related” in Mergers I means pharma and medical device, the common theme for Mergers IV is where geographic markets are likely to be important to the investigation and litigation.

[Joe Miller @joemillerDC]

This is the correct take. @dougmelamed was DAAG/Acting AAG when I was at @JusticeATR, part of a first rate front office. Emphasis on intellectually honest.

[doug melamed @dougmelamed]

@ProfWrightGMU In my DOJ experience, staff are very professional, accept that elections matter and enforcement priorities change, and care most that political appointees are intellectually honest, act for substantive and not political reasons, and respect the staff even when they disagree.

Congratulations to daughter Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber, @gabrielletf, for winning Reuters' 2021 "Scoop of the Year" award for her story about the defection of the Belarusian sprinter during the Tokyo Olympics.

Useful summary of Epic v. Apple, generates huge consumer surplus by saving the antitrust-curious from having to wade through 185 page district court opinions.

⁦@EmoryUniversity⁩ annual Parent’s Weekend, we skipped the official activities in favor of the club baseball team’s double header. Watching baseball with ⁦@d_milzz⁩ , and watching David play baseball, are two of my favorite things to do.
