Trump’s budget bill touts ‘no tax on overtime.’ But he just made it harder for millions to earn overtime in the first place

Trump’s Department of Labor ‘walked away from’ a rule that expanded overtime to 4 million workers, according to the former agency head.

One of the most notable features of President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill” passed by the House early Thursday is a series of tax cuts exempting tips, overtime, and Social Security from taxes. The White House said no taxes on overtime and tips “makes good on two of President Trump’s cornerstone campaign promises and benefits hardworking Americans where they need it the most—their paychecks.”
