Only one media outlet is reporting that LA Mayor Karen Bass' mic was turned off during the roundtable with Donald Trump last night.
None of them are reporting that they physically took away her microphone too because she kept trying to fact check him.
Shameful.

Trump just revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965, rolling back 60 years of progress on civil rights.
The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.
