Restraining monopolies promotes economic growth and innovation. Read @superwuster’s latest @nytimes op-ed on why judges must impose strong legal remedies for antitrust enforcement to be truly effective: https://t.co/4YuCVGD6Du

A federal judge has ruled Google has a monopoly on online search and has been illegally defending that monopoly for years. But what should the remedy be?

We're glad @SenateApprops passed a spending bill with record funding for @JusticeATR's antitrust enforcement. This will help level the playing field for #SmallBiz so they can freely and fairly compete with large corporations. Read more:

The small-business boom following the pandemic has reversed years of declines.

We're outraged by the 11th Circuit's decision suspending @FearlessFund's work to level the playing field for women and minority-owned #SmallBiz, which have historically been shut out of traditional banking & still struggle to access capital.

We're glad that a judge dismissed a meritless lawsuit against @HelloAlice for offering grants to Black #SmallBiz owners. Learn more about backlash to equity-based programs in this @bizjournals article by @AndyMedici: https://t.co/PXPXdXIADm

The lawsuit is part of a broader attack on small-business programs targeted at minorities or other disadvantaged groups.

#SBM CEO @JohnArensmeyer spoke at @econliberties' #AMS2024 about the importance of forging ties between labor and #SmallBiz as a way to reduce corporate power. #SmallBiz are looking for a level playing field with free and fair competition so they have the opportunity to thrive.

This Supreme Court decision is a huge win (and a relief) for small businesses. @CFPB is vital to addressing issues of predatory lending and enforcing demographic lending data collection under 1071. https://t.co/QgfrGLAueg

A decision against the agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, could have cast doubt on all of its regulations and enforcement actions.
