DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

It took a week for CNN to get White House access back. Other outlets boycotted in solidarity. But not David Ellison – he dined at the WH with Trump and Xi and ignored calls from 100+ reporters and advocates to stand up for the journalists he seeks to employ.

So let's listen to him! As these settlement negotiations continue, the AGs must hold strong for structural fixes that are easier to enforce, more likely to prevent illegal anticompetitive conduct before it occurs, and the best way to protect American jobs and American consumers.

The Delrahim of 2026 should listen to the Delrahim of 2017. Behavioral promises ARE a short term remedy that are “a band-aid, not a fix,” they ARE hard to enforce, and they DO require the DOJ to “serve as a roving ombudsman of the affairs of business,” through ongoing, vigilant monitoring.

Gabriel Lezra @gabelezra.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
These remedies, he said, force companies to act against their own profit motives, demand constant government supervision and make it hard to prove violations. Nine years later, Delrahim is on the other side, leading Paramount's bid. And the concessions Paramount want look a lot like that wolf.
