State attorneys general are preparing to enforce antitrust law independently as the Trump administration signals a retreat from federal antitrust enforcement, with California and other states pursuing cases against tech giants and media consolidation that the DOJ may abandon.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Federal antitrust enforcement is going quiet, but California and a dozen other states are running their own cases—meaning deals you thought were safe now face state-level blocking risk that federal approval no longer shields you from. Call your M&A counsel this week if you're in tech, media, or financial services.
