WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect on Tuesday named Andrew Ferguson as the next chair of the . He will replace Lina Khan, who became a lightning rod for Wall Street and Silicon Valley by blocking billions of dollars’ worth of corporate acquisitions and suing Amazon and Meta while . Ferguson is already one of the FTC’s five commissioners, which is currently made up of three Democrats and two Republicans. “Andrew has a proven record of standing up to Big Tech censorship, and protecting Freedom of Speech in our Great Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, “Andrew will be the most America First, and pro-innovation FTC Chair in our Country’s History.” The replacement of Khan likely means that the FTC will operate with a lighter touch when it comes to antitrust enforcement. The new chair is expected to appoint new directors of the FTC’s antitrust and consumer protection divisions. “These changes likely will make the FTC more favorable to business than it has been in recent years, though the extent to which is to be determined,” wrote Anthony DiResta, a consumer protection attorney at Holland & Knight, . Deals that were blocked by the Biden administration could find new life with Trump in command. For example, the new leadership could be more open to a proposed merger between the country’s two biggest supermarket chains, Kroger and Albertsons, which forged a $24.6 billion deal to combine in 2022. Two judges Tuesday night. The FTC had earlier this year to block the merger, claiming the deal would eliminate competition, leading to higher prices and lower wages for workers. The two companies say a merger would help them lower prices and compete against bigger rivals like Walmart. One of the judges said the FTC had shown it was likely to prevail in the administrative hearing. Yet given the widespread public concern over high grocery prices, the Trump administration may not fully abandon the FTC’s efforts to block the deal, some experts have said. And the FTC may continue to scrutinize Big Tech firms for any anticompetitive behavior. Many Republican politicians have accused firms such as Meta of censoring conservative views, and some officials in Trump’s orbit, most notably Vice President-elect JD Vance, have previously expressed support for Khan’s scrutiny of Big Tech firms. In addition to Fergson, Trump also announced Tuesday that he had selected Jacob Helberg as the next undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy and the environment. ___ Christopher Rugaber, The Associated PressHilgers, other GOP AGs sue BlackRock, other investment firms over ‘woke’ climate action efforts

More AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennisWhile Beneshi Bloom is well-known for his long locks of hair on the Kemptville hockey rink, he's decided to trade his most distinct feature for two good causes. The nine-year-old boy cut his hair on Saturday for it to be donated and someday made into a wig for a cancer patient going through chemotherapy. He's also hoping those in support of his cause will help him raise funds to help buy a new CT scanner for the Kemptville District Hospital. His hockey teammates on the Kemptville 73's all came to watch him get his new cut after winning their game – part of a tradition on the team. "Woke up this morning thinking about my game and thinking about how I was going to look after cutting my hair," he said. For Beneshi, hair means more than just a haircut but one of celebrating culture and tradition. "It took me around two years to grow this hair. Originally, I was going to grow my hair really long and then braid it because that's the Anishinaabe tradition for boys," he said. "The braids are like a symbol of strength because when you braid it, it's strong altogether." Beneshi says he was inspired by a conversation he had with one of his neighbours, who told him about how hair can be donated. He quickly became fascinated by the idea of doing it himself. "I thought it would put a smile on the person's face because people diagnosed with cancer would go bald sometimes and it would lighten them up having their old hair," he said. Three of Beneshi's grandparents have died of cancer. His father, Charles Gauthier, recalls showing his son a photo of his late grandmother wearing a wig during her cancer treatment. "I mentioned to him that she had a wig when she was going through chemotherapy and showed him a picture and he said, 'wow she looks really happy.'"

(Scott Rook/CTV News Ottawa) Beneshi's mother said after some research, they found that people who donate their hair will also get members of the community to donate to another cause. Through the boy's background as a hockey player, he thought raising money for the CT scanner made the most sense for him. "There's lot of hockey players in Kemptville. I thought if anybody gets a concussion or anything severe, they would have to get a CT scan right away and without that, they wouldn't know," he said. The boy's parents say despite being "a little overwhelmed at times" by the amount of attention he's getting, they are amazed by how much support he has received and glad the community will benefit. "He's always had a very big heart and a lot of compassion and empathy," his mother, Tamara Bloom said. "He's very proud of his culture and traditional values and that's part of this as well. In the spirit of tradition and the spirit of giving and sacrifice. It sums up who he is." The Kemptville hospital is seeking to raise $2.2 million for the new scanner. Joanne Mavis, executive director of the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation, says they have been working to raise funds for 18 months.

"Its really embodied this entire community, everybody is getting involved in one way or another." Beneshi had a goal of raising $1,800 for the hospital. On Saturday, at least $2,200 had been raised. As for what he thinks of the new 'do'? "I got the idea from my buddy Tatum, he has about the same haircut as I have right now," the boy said. "I thought it would look good if me and him had the same haircut."

Romanian court annuls presidential election amid allegations of Russian online campaignEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Baker Mayfield catapulted into the end zone on a spectacular 10-yard scramble for one of Tampa Bay's four rushing touchdowns, and the Buccaneers beat the Giants and new starting quarterback Tommy DeVito 30-7 on Sunday, snapping a four-game losing streak and extending New York's skid to six. The Giants' decisions this week to bench and then release quarterback Daniel Jones did nothing to help the NFL's lowest-scoring offense. DeVito threw for 189 yards, mostly in the second half with New York well on its way to its sixth straight loss at home, where it is winless. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers dominated in every phase in a near-perfect perfect performance that featured TD runs of 1 yard by Sean Tucker, 6 yards by Bucky Irving and 1 yard by Rachaad White. After recent losses to the Ravens, 49ers and Chiefs, Tampa Bay (5-6) moved within one game of idle Atlanta in the NFC South. Tampa Bay scored on five of its on first six possessions to open a 30-0 lead, and none was more exciting than Mayfield's TD run with 12 seconds left in the first half. On a second-and-goal from the 10, he avoided pressure and went for the end zone. He was hit by Cor'Dale Flott low and Dru Phillips high around the 2-yard line, and he was airborne when he crossed the goal line. The ball came loose when he hit the turf but he jumped up and flexed — seemingly mocking DeVito's go-to celebration — as the Bucs took a 23-0 lead. Mayfield, who sustained a stinger in the fourth quarter, finished 24 of 30 for 294 yards. Favorite target Mike Evans returned to the lineup after missing three games with a hamstring injury and had five catches for 68 yards. Irving had 87 yards rushing and six catches for 64 yards. The Bucs held New York to three first downs and 45 yards in the first half, and they finished with 450 yards to the Giants' 245. DeVito had a 17-yard run in the fourth quarter to set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Devin Singletary. The brash New Jersey native, who gave the Giants a spark last year, did little in his first action this season. He was sacked four times, including once in the fourth quarter, which forced him to go to the bench for one play. Buccaneers: LT Tristan Wirfs (knee) did not play and Justin Skule replaced him. ... Tampa Bay lost OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to an ankle injury in the second quarter and safety Jordan Whitehead to a pectoral injury in the fourth quarter. Giants: LT Jermaine Eluemunor (quad) and OLB Azeez Ojulari (toe) were hurt in the first quarter and did not return. Buccaneers: At Carolina next Sunday.
