It seems #Trump is trying to stack the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) with his Republican appointees— having recently fired the two Democratic commissioners while appointing one Republican so far to take their place (that person is awaiting Senate confirmation).

The fired commissioners are suing for termination without cause. They received letters saying only that “their continued service at the FTC was ‘inconsistent’ with the administration’s policies.”
