We're starting to get some political alignment on anti-trust against Amazon at least. Though one party seems motivated by worker/consumer right, the other by retaliation for Bezos' ownership of WaPo.

Considering Bezos is hardly involved with Amazon anymore it’ll be hard to tie WaPo into its antitrust case.

Do they need to tie WaPo into whatever antitrust may hit Amazon? As long as it's hurting Jeff Bezos, I'm sure some will be happy about it.

I fully expect Amazon's lobbying arms to be able to exploit that sort of ideological split.

It would be very easy for Bezos to divest WaPo or tilt its coverage more conservative to buy off an anti-trust issue.
