Lina Khan’s rise to power within the Federal Trade Commission was nothing short of meteoric. Just hours after being confirmed as an FTC commissioner by the Senate, President Biden named her as the Chair of the commission, making her the youngest person ever to hold such a position at just 32 years old.
In an interview with “60 Minutes,” Khan reflected on the significance of her appointment, stating that her arrival represented a lot of change. Khan, who has been a vocal advocate for anti-trust measures and consumer protection, is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the FTC and lead the commission in addressing pressing issues in the tech industry.

Okay great! Now I how the Government wants me think!
What an intelligent young woman. I’m just not sure what she’s trying to accomplish may or may not do damage in the long run.
Lina is the Robin Hood of modern times, trying to put a brake to corporate criminal greed.
Big fan here. As a physician I’m waiting for her to go after large insurance companies (UHC, Aetna) and large regional healthcare systems like Mayo and Cleveland Clinic. They’re as anticompetitive as big tech.
Joe Biden had nothing to do with this. He isn't even deciding his bedtime at this point.
I love how you highlight the importance of prayer. So inspiring!…
What's wrong are you having problems with your interest ratio between 3:09 at 7:50 name rotation man that's like a 200 million coordination ain't it just to get a principal of somebody's business rotation selling
Is some of that some of the principles tariff payments when your alternate your jumps between countries
Omg but that thing is fing disruptive. It wasn't become she was young … Omg … It's because of her nose
I love the condescending tone of Lesley Stahl in her line of questioning, and Lesley Stahl would be even more surprised to learn that Lina Khan will have a partner entry in any major Wall Street law firm without any hesitation for being the smartest or younger person than anyone within the firm.
Fun Fact. The Supreme Court has ruled that government agencies have no power to enforce laws.😂😂
So what happens if security decided to secure itself against the digital dollar
I’m sure many people at the FTC were happy to have a change in leadership if it meant they could actually do what they probably went into the FTC to do in the first place. Imagine going to work at the FTC because you believe in fighting for workers and consumers but then having to work under the old guard and not do much of anything meaningful. It must’ve been demoralizing.
Lina is the GOAT
What exemplary poise and reason Lina Khan maintains. Never ceases to amaze.
Lina Khan is my hero!!! ❤🤍💙
I know Trump will definitely get rid of her, but watch the shock when Harris gets rid of her.
Bide ‘s choice to pick her was extremely shrewd. We dont give him enough credit-he dis it because she is young and new and fresh, not steeped in government bureaucracy (or jaded by it), early in her career so she hasn’t been bought out by a hig corporation. Sure other commissioners have experience but may not have been as aggressive to carry out Bide ‘s vision. She has definitely generated a massive impact on big corporations and monopolies
💚 Lina Kahn
Lina Khan is the first person in an admin since Reagan that is fighting for us instead corporations. I will be mad if Harris replaces her 💙
Stahl is worried about her stock portfolio, not how good Khan is for the people
