Will the U.S. midterm elections put antitrust back on track? The anti-monopoly movement was gaining momentum worldwide prior to Trump taking power for the second time, but it has since fizzled or been put on the backburner. Major U.S. cases against Google, Facebook and Live Nation struck out while the Paramount-Warner Bros. mega-merger went through, while Canada pivoted to a focus on sovereignty.
Will the momentum return if the Democrats take back the House and possibly the Senate? The American Prospect executive editor and U.S. antitrust expert @ddayen joins the Do Not Pass Go podcast to discuss the implications of the likely flip.

Business partners since 1998. $100,000 to a pro-Marshall super PAC.
Dan Tasset is Roger Marshall’s guy.
An almost total reversal and an acknowledgement of the failure of its project in 2026. But they're not going down until they spend $9 million in the last two weeks to try to take out Abdul El-Sayed.

An ICE charter flight is headed to Equatorial Guinea, according to documents obtained by Gillian Brockell. One immigrant imprisoned there, Ahmed Soliman, was ordered returned to the US 2 weeks ago. Will ICE pick him up, or just drop off more deportees?

You knew Roger Marshall sued 700 patients & had 70 new moms arrested for failing to pay medical bills as little as $101.
But context is everything: the senator's biggest donor, close friend & biz partner of 30 years is a serial hospital looter with a long record of stiffing workers, suppliers, blood banks etc. to the tune of tens of millions of dollars

Here's the second story prospect.org/2026/10/21/roge…
🚨 Roger Marshall wrote a bill to deregulate "biological pesticides." He got it into the farm bill. It would help companies owned by his friend & donor's private equity firm, Nueterra.
Marshall's wife is *also* invested in those Nueterra-owned businesses.
