One thing I'll note here is the agency has not filed for a preliminary injunction to stop the deal in federal court. So it's likely MSFT and Activision will still close.

Nothing the *FTC did today* prevents MSFT/Activision from closing. However! they need regulatory approval from the EU and the UK too. Those decisions are expected in the next few months, and MSFT has been working w/ those regulators.

's Safe Connections Act, which lets sexual assault survivors separate their phone lines from their abusers, passed the Senate today -- now there's a House version.
A phone can be a lifeline for survivors of sexual assault as they get back on their feet—but not if it's controlled by their abuser.
Today, I introduced the Safe Connections Act with
@RepAnnaEshoo
to help survivors navigate getting and sustaining their own phone lines.

Michael Santiago is a photojournalist for the Post Gazette who says he was pulled from the protest coverage. He says he has yet to hear a reason why from the paper management. He says only he and Johnson behind him in the photo were taken off the coverage.
