Matt Stoller is actively lobbying for Lina Khan on the Hill. He is an active advisor to JD Vance and Elizabeth Warren [0][1]. The NGO he his lobbying with is primarily funded by Soros and Omidyar [2] (former chairperson of Ebay, and the owner of The Intercept). He also used to work with her (along with Chopra and other ex-Warren staffers) at New America

This is not to say that he's a good guy or a bad guy, but his newsletter is just another of the hundreds that are published by Donor Organizations for lobbying related reasons. [3]

Edit: downvote me for tone, not for content. I'm a Democrat myself and I've helped people pass some legislation we all love when I worked on the Hill.
