Grateful for this Rutland Herald editorial on our new report that outlines how the Trump admin’s weak antitrust enforcement and backroom deals are driving up costs.
 
We must chart a new path and ensure we’re protecting American consumers while keeping prices down.

RUTLAND HERALD
Editorial: Settling for less

Oct 24, 2026

Apparently, parts of America are certainly prospering.

This week, U.S. Rep. Becca Balint and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, of Massachusetts, released "Settling For Less: How Trump's Weak Antitrust Enforcement and Backroom Deals Are Driving Up Costs."

The report is a review of the second Trump administration's record of toothless antitrust settlements, dismissed enforcement actions, and widespread approval of massive corporate mergers, apparently creating a pay-to-play system that drives up costs and hurts consumers," according to a news release.
