Description

16 years ago, "The Facebook" was just another college student's idea.
Now, federal and state authorities say the social media giant is, well,
too giant — and they want to break it up. POLITICO's Leah Nylen explains
how the company went from dorm room to antitrust lawsuit. Plus, Trump
issues sweeping new asylum rules. And Schumer urges Republicans to

Leah Nylen covers antitrust for POLITICO.
Jeremy Siegel is a host for POLITICO Dispatch.
Irene Noguchi is the executive producer of POLITICO audio.
Jenny Ament is the senior producer of POLITICO audio.
