Trump formally nominates Brendan Candeub, FCC official, to lead the US Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. Candeub's appointment signals a shift toward more aggressive antitrust enforcement against big tech companies.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The DOJ antitrust chief now has a track record of aggressive tech enforcement at the FCC; expect faster, harder moves against large platforms and consolidation deals. If you're building in AI, cloud, or consumer tech, your merger timeline or distribution arrangements just got riskier.
