A federal judge in Texas has invalidated a Biden administration rule aimed at expanding overtime pay for millions of salaried workers. The ruling determined that the Labor Department overstepped its authority by mandating overtime compensation for employees earning just under $44,000 annually. This decision affects an estimated 4 million workers who would have qualified under the new threshold. As a result, the previous salary threshold of approximately $35,500, established during the Trump administration, will be reinstated.

In a separate legal matter, the Texas Supreme Court has ruled against lawmakers who attempted to use their subpoena power to delay the execution of Robert Roberson, a death row inmate convicted in 2003 for the murder of his two-year-old daughter. The court's decision allows the execution to proceed, although a date has yet to be scheduled.

Additionally, the daughters of the late civil rights leader Malcolm X have filed a $100 million lawsuit against several government agencies, including the FBI and CIA. The lawsuit, submitted in federal court, alleges that these agencies played a role in Malcolm X's assassination in 1965 and claims a corrupt relationship existed between law enforcement and those responsible for his death. The plaintiffs contend that they were unable to file the lawsuit sooner due to the defendants withholding critical information from the family.
