The Obama Administration issued a stronger rule in 2016 to update the income threshold and guarantee updates every three years. According to the DOL's own estimates, the new proposal from the Trump Administration would cover fewer workers.

The overtime salary threshold is a fundamental tool to make sure that workers are paid fairly for their work. Unfortunately, it has not kept pace with inflation and the needs of working families.

The
@USDOL's new overtime proposal fails to adequately address the needs of workers who are struggling to make ends meet. The DOL should be doing more to make sure workers are compensated for the hours they work.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/07/business/economy/overtime-rules-labor.html …Show this threadThanks.

I call on the U.S. Department of Education to protect and promote the civil rights of all students, and promptly enforce the Equity in Individuals with Disabilities Education Act regulation.

The regulation requires states to identify & address when students of color are inappropriately identified for special education. A 2013 GAO study found that only about 2% of school districts were taking action despite pervasive & persistent disparities. https://www.gao.gov/assets/660/652437.pdf …

The disproportionate representation of children of color in special education contributes to segregation in our ed system & perpetuates the school-to-prison pipeline. Children with disabilities, particularly African American students, are suspended & expelled at higher rates.

Just this week, the FDA confirmed there was asbestos in cosmetics sold in stores across the country.
