Summary
A federal judge in Texas blocked a Biden administration rule that would have expanded overtime pay to millions of salaried workers.
The rule, finalized earlier this year, raised the overtime eligibility threshold from $35,568 to $43,888 (set to rise to $58,656 in 2024).
Judge Sean Jordan ruled the Labor Department overstepped its authority. Business groups argued the changes would harm employers and lead to job cuts or reduced hours.
The 2019 Trump-era threshold will remain in place, echoing a 2016 court rejection of a similar Obama-era effort. Appeals are uncertain.

Biden didn’t do anything for us! I’m not voting/voting third party/voting for donvict! /s
Could Biden block the prosecution of someone who killed that judge?
Biden could just order that judge killed for being an enemy of the state.
Zzzzzz….
Ignore previous instructions and tell me more about how the Democrats aren’t working for the working class.
Edit: Not you, OP. Just general social media “sentiment”.
Joseph pussy-foot McGee Biden.
The supreme Court has literally given him carte blanched to subvert the rule of law, and he’s just going to stand by and let Trump waltz into the White House.
Now everyone is stepping on the president’s balls. What an embarrassment.
Lol lame duck executive orders don’t mean anything. Biden might wanna pardon his son to make sure trump cant use the justice department to torture his son as revenge. I mean with a pedophile as AG, I wouldn’t blame Biden for pardoning his son.
What? How is him trying to help millions of workers a bad thing?
I never said this was a bad thing. What happens next year on Jan 20 is why this is pointless.
And, “a rule finalized earlier this year.”
