Trump’s Tuesday Night Massacre
Friday, 21 March, 2025
In a special interview recorded just hours after his illegal firing, FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya speaks with David Sirota about Donald Trump’s unprecedented move to purge the Federal Trade Commission.Echoing Nixon’s infamous Saturday Night Massacre, Trump has fired both Democratic commissioners at the FTC—an agency that by law is supposed to operate independently from the White House. The FTC had been investigating several of Trump’s biggest corporate allies.Bedoya explains why this isn’t just about one agency, but about whether the presidency is becoming a corrupt monarchy—where only those who “kiss the king’s ring” are safe. He’s now taking Trump to court in a case that could land at the Supreme Court.This is the free version of an episode originally released to Lever Premium subscribers.
