That's not what I am asking. Are there anti-monopoly laws in the United States that would prevent Twitter from blocking links to their competitor?

Technically yes there are anti-monopoly laws in the US, however they aren't really used much anymore because so much of politics is dominated by corporate money now

Yep, decisions like not allowing movie distribution companies to own any cinema would not happen these days

Twitter's not anywhere near being a monopoly in any market though.
