The swamp just got a little smaller. Gail Slater, the Department of Justice's antitrust division head who became synonymous with letting Big Tech run wild while hamstringing American companies, resigned Thursday after losing support from key Trump cabinet officials.

Slater's tenure was nothing short of a disaster for hardworking Americans who've watched Big Tech monopolies crush competition and censor conservative voices. Her most infamous legacy? Overseeing Google's pathetic slap-on-the-wrist verdict that did absolutely nothing to break up the search giant's stranglehold on information.

But wait, it gets worse. While Slater was busy giving sweetheart deals to woke Disney – approving multiple mergers for the company that's been indoctrinating our children with radical left ideology – she was simultaneously holding up American companies trying to compete against China's Huawei.

Think about that for a second, Patriots. This Deep State bureaucrat was more interested in protecting Disney's woke empire than helping American businesses take on our greatest economic rival. It's the kind of backwards priority that perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the administrative state Trump is working to dismantle.

Another Deep State Departure

Sources indicate Slater lost crucial support from Attorney General Pam Bondi and other cabinet officials who recognized her complete failure to enforce real antitrust action against the tech titans censoring conservatives and manipulating elections.

This resignation is exactly what we voted for in 2024 – draining the swamp of bureaucrats who put corporate interests and globalist agendas ahead of the American people. Under Trump's leadership, we're finally seeing real accountability in Washington.

The question now is whether Slater's replacement will have the backbone to actually break up Big Tech's monopolistic stranglehold on free speech and fair competition. After years of watching these Silicon Valley giants operate with impunity, Americans deserve justice – not more corporate coddling.

One swamp creature down, many more to go. This is what winning looks like, folks.

About time! Big Tech has had way too much protection from their friends in government.

This resignation speaks volumes about the corruption that's been going on. When you can't defend your record, you run and hide. Classic swamp creature behavior.

I'm curious what specific cases or decisions led to this resignation. Anyone have more details on what finally brought this to a head?

I think it was the Facebook merger approval that really exposed the corruption. Should have been blocked years ago.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. We need to investigate everyone who's been giving Big Tech special treatment while they censor conservatives and destroy competition.

Does anyone know who's being considered as the replacement? Hopefully someone who actually understands how Big Tech has been crushing small businesses and free speech.

FINALLY! It's about time someone held these tech cronies accountable. This is exactly what draining the swamp looks like!

Couldn't agree more! We need more resignations like this.

As someone who runs a small tech company, I've seen firsthand how these giants get away with anti-competitive practices while DOJ looks the other way. Good riddance!

Same here. Amazon has been undercutting us for years with predatory pricing.
