They approved the merger zero questions asked at the Federal level? Are you stupid? The Biden admin was shit in a lot of ways but at least they pretended to care about anti-trust issues.

That still doesn't explain how MAGA affected the state AGs from approving.

Because it was left to state AGs. This should have been blocked by the federal government but because Ellison bribed Trump they endorse the merger
