Good.

A free market requires a functioning market.

When monopolists use their market power to harm competition, we no longer have a functioning — and thus, free — market.

Our antitrust laws have been on the books for a century.

We don’t support antitrust amnesty.

Our antitrust laws are targeted law enforcement.

That’s the opposite of “big government,” as they target the tumors on the competitive market instead of punishing everyone with industry-wide regulations.

Monopolists like regulations, which are entry barriers for competitors.

Corporations have amassed way too much power & control over our lives.

This is particularly true of the woke trillion-dollar #BigTech monopolists (in this order of danger):

1 @Google
2. @amazon
3. @Facebook
4. @Apple

(@Twitter is their obnoxious, bar-fighting liddle tech bro.)

Through a terrible combination of Section 230 immunity from 1996 & #AntitrustAmnesty starting under President @BarackObama, we now have government-created and -sponsored censors of free speech on our own online public squares.

The government must breakup these #BigTech monsters.

So @RepKenBuck, my favorite House conservative & the top R on the House Antitrust Subcommittee, worked for nearly 2 years to investigate and draft 6 pieces of bipartisan legislation to breakup #BigTech.

They passed the House Judiciary Committee last week.

Rs should get onboard.

If House Republicans have specific issues, work with @RepKenBuck’s office on an amendment.

But this nonsense from @GOPLeader and @Jim_Jordan about “Democrat bills” and “big government” is just their way of duping conservatives and carrying the water for their #BigTech donors.
