The Federal Trade Commission sued to block a proposed merger between the grocery giants, saying the $24.6 billion deal would eliminate competition and lead to higher prices.
Lina Khan has been extraordinarily ineffective at the head of the FTC.

rejoined Paris Agreement
rejoined WHO
ends federal private prison contracts
130+ billion in student loan forgiveness
Russia sanctions
national registry for police fired for misconduct
