The '''[[wikipedia:Federal_Trade_Commission\|Federal Trade Commission]]''' (FTC), established in 1914, is a federal agency enforcing anti-trust laws and consumer protection measures in the United States.

	The agency consists of five commissioners serving seven-year terms, with no more than three permitted from the same political party. The FTC shares civil anti-trust enforcement with the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. Operating from Washington DC's Federal Triangle, the FTC works through three bureaus: [[Bureau of Consumer Protection\|Consumer Protection]], Competition, and Economics.<ref>"[https://www.ftc.gov/about-ftc About the FTC"] - ftc.gov</ref>		The agency consists of five commissioners serving seven-year terms, with no more than three permitted from the same political party.

Under Chair Lina Khan's leadership from 2021 to 2025, the agency continued its mandate of market-competition oversight and consumer protection through enforcement actions, research, and educational initiatives.
