The commission said that if approved, the final rule "would generally prevent most employers from using noncompete clauses.".

Approximately one in five Americans, spanning minimum wage workers to CEOs, are subject to noncompete agreements, the FTC estimates.

.

The Biden administration says that these types of agreements hurt workers by decreasing wages.

The White House also argues that these agreements harm the U.S. economy because entrepreneurship isn't allowed to freely flourish.

FTC Chair Lina M.

Khan issued a statement when the proposed ban was initially introduced.

The freedom to change jobs is core to economic liberty and to a competitive, thriving economy, FTC Chair Lina M.

Khan, via statement.

Noncompetes block workers from freely switching jobs, depriving them of higher wages and better working conditions, and depriving businesses of a talent pool that they need to build and expand, FTC Chair Lina M.

Khan, via statement.

Businesses argue that noncompete agreements are essential for safeguarding investments and proprietary information.

Those businesses also question whether the agency has the power "to regulate such agreements," NPR reports.

If the FTC votes to issue a final rule, enforcement wouldn't occur for 180 days, and legal challenges would likely ensue.

Trump Loyalist Russel Vought Takes Over DOGE, Vought To Lead Mass Layoffs With ‘Slash & Burn’ Agenda

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash. #ElonMusk #RussellVought #DOGE #Trump #GovernmentEfficiency #Project2025 #ScheduleF #FederalCuts #ChristianNationalism #Tesla #SpaceX #MuskExit #VoughtAgenda #BudgetCuts #NPR #USAID #CFPB #MilitarySpending #GOP #PoliticalNews #WashingtonWatch #BureaucracyReform #TrumpAdmin #GovernmentOverhaul #WhiteHousePolicy #SpendingCuts #PolicyShift #BreakingNews #ConservativeAgenda #MuskVsVought Also Read Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Criticises Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill', A Fracture In Key Relationship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-criticises-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-a-fracture-in-key-relationship-4166667.html?ref=DMDesc SpaceX Starship Explodes Mid-Flight During Third Test, Firm Cites 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-starship-explodes-mid-flight-during-third-test-firm-cites-rapid-unscheduled-disassembly-4165683.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.124~

Trump Vs Newsom | Court hands BIG WIN to Trump | Allows control of National Guard in California

In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court upheld Donald Trump's decision to federalize 4,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration-related unrest in Los Angeles—rejecting California Governor Gavin Newsom’s challenge. The court ruled federal intervention was lawful due to obstruction of federal agents. With two Trump appointees and one Biden judge siding unanimously, the decision marks the first such presidential move since 1965. Trump hailed the verdict as a “big win,” blasting Newsom’s leadership and vowing to protect American cities. #TrumpVictory #NationalGuard #LAProtests #ImmigrationUnrest #GavinNewsom #Federalization #TrumpVsNewsom #CourtRuling #NinthCircuit #TrumpNews #FederalLaw #PresidentialPowers #USPolitics #BreakingNews #TruthSocial #LegalShowdown #GuardDeployment #LawAndOrder #TrumpAdministration #JudicialDeference #Trump2025 #CaliforniaCrisis #SupremeCourtNext #TrumpAppointees #BidenJudge #ProtestCrackdown #MilitaryDeployment #ImmigrationProtests #NewsomLoses #FederalAuthority Also Read US Prez Trump Will Decide On Whether To Attack Iran Within 2 Weeks: White House :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-prez-trump-will-decide-on-whether-to-attack-iran-within-2-weeks-white-house-7777787.html?ref=DMDesc I Have A Plan For Everything: Donald Trump Amid Rumours Of US Joining Iran-Israel Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-have-a-plan-for-everything-donald-trump-amid-rumours-of-us-joining-iran-israel-conflict-4185685.html?ref=DMDesc Facepalm!

Karoline Leavitt SLAMS Zohran Mamdani As A Symbol Of “Radical Policy” Destabilizing American Values [Video]

Karoline Leavitt SLAMS Zohran Mamdani As A Symbol Of “Radical Policy” Destabilizing American Values

In a fiery political escalation, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took direct aim at Zohran Mamdani — the presumptive Democratic frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race — accusing him of embodying “radical” left-wing ideals. Labeling Democrats as “doubling down on craziness,” Leavitt claimed Mamdani's policies threaten the “very fabric of the country.” The attack reflects growing Republican unease with Mamdani’s rising influence, particularly after his viral interview clip showed him eating biryani with his hands while championing Third World-inspired politics. With his open support for Palestine, socialism, and progressive reform, Mamdani has drawn praise and vitriol in equal measure. As Trump’s White House attempts to frame the 2025 elections as a choice between order and chaos, Mamdani is emerging as a lightning rod in the cultural and political battlefield. The clash signals a deeper national confrontation brewing around race, identity, and radicalism. #ZohranMamdani #NYCMayoralRace #KarolineLeavitt #WhiteHouseAttack #RadicalLeft #DemocratsVsGOP #USPolitics #TrumpEra #MamdaniUnderFire #NYCPolitics #PalestineSupport #BiryaniPolitics #IdentityPolitics #PoliticalDrama #ProgressiveAgenda #RepublicanPushback #LeavittVsMamdani #MayoralElection2025 #CultureClash #LeftVsRight ~ED.194~HT.408~

White House Press Sec Leavitt SLAMS Democrats and Thom Tillis On Criticism of ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ [Video]

White House Press Sec Leavitt SLAMS Democrats and Thom Tillis On Criticism of ‘Big Beautiful Bill’

The White House is doubling down on President Donald Trump’s controversial "$3.3 trillion Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it the largest tax cut in American history. At a press briefing, the Press Secretary emphasized the bill’s core goal: delivering relief to everyday, working-class Americans. Framing it as a win for the middle class, the administration claims the package not only reduces taxes but also rebalances the economic scales. Critics, however, warn of soaring deficits, potential slashes to Medicaid, and threats to renewable energy incentives. As GOP lawmakers remain divided on spending cuts and debt ceiling increases, this bold push represents Trump’s defining legislative gamble before July 4. With the Senate preparing for a vote-a-rama, the future of this bill could reshape America's fiscal trajectory — or spark fresh political chaos. #TrumpBill #TaxCuts #BigBeautifulBill #MiddleClassRelief #USPolitics #GOPTaxPlan #TrumpEconomy #DebtDebate #SenateVote #USBudget #TrumpWhiteHouse #PressSecretary #TaxReform #WorkingClassAmerica #RepublicanSplit #DebtCeiling #HistoricLegislation #Trump2025 #FiscalPolicy #WhiteHouseNews ~ED.194~HT.408~

New War Warning? Trump’s Big CLAIMS On ‘Potential’ Korea Conflict | U.S-North Korea Gambit Returns [Video]

New War Warning? Trump’s Big CLAIMS On ‘Potential’ Korea Conflict | U.S-North Korea Gambit Returns

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited speculation about a possible diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea, stating he will "get the conflict solved" while referencing his previous “great relationship” with Kim Jong Un. At a White House event, Trump sidestepped questions about a recent letter allegedly sent to the North Korean leader. However, NK News reports that Pyongyang’s UN delegation refused to accept any such letter, suggesting a strained atmosphere. Trump and Kim had met thrice during Trump’s first term, but nuclear talks ultimately collapsed over disarmament disagreements. Trump now hints at reviving that momentum, framing his personal diplomacy as a unique path to resolution. The situation remains murky amid the absence of official confirmation from either side. Still, Trump’s remarks have sparked new questions about a potential U.S.-North Korea thaw—especially as global tensions remain high and his foreign policy narrative pivots back toward high-stakes summits and unconventional outreach. #Trump #NorthKorea #KimJongUn #TrumpKim #USDiplomacy #WhiteHouse #TrumpSpeech #USPolitics #OvalOffice #Geopolitics #AsiaSecurity #NuclearTalks #Denuclearization #USNorthKorea #TrumpNews #KimLetter #UNDelegation #Trump2025 #PeaceTalks #KoreanPeninsula ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.124~

DHS’ New Campaign against IMMIGRATION | ‘Uncle Sam’ Poster asks people to report ‘Foreign Invaders’

The DHS has revived the iconic ‘Uncle Sam’ to urge Americans to report undocumented immigrants, calling them “foreign invaders.” The official poster, backed by the White House, has triggered national outrage over racial profiling and propaganda tactics. Critics say the image recycles war-era fear to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment. With ICE raids in LA and protests planned nationwide, the immigration debate is back in the spotlight—raising questions about democracy, identity, and the line between patriotism and persecution. #UncleSam #DHS #Trump #Immigration #ICE #ForeignInvaders #RacialProfiling #Propaganda #USPolitics #ImmigrantRights #NationalOutrage #WhiteHouse #BreakingNews #AntiICE #CivilRights #Protests #ReportImmigrants #PosterControversy #AmericanValues #USIdentity #DemocracyInCrisis Also Read POTUS Launches $5 Million 'Trump Card' Visa Programme Offering Path To US Citizenship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-launches-5-million-trump-card-visa-programme-offering-path-to-us-citizenship-4179053.html?ref=DMDesc US Lauds 'Phenomenal Partner' Pakistan In 'Combating Terrorism', Hosts COAS Asim Munir; 'Setback' Says Oppn :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-lauds-phenomenal-partner-pakistan-in-combating-terrorism-hosts-coas-asim-munir-setback-sa-4179017.html?ref=DMDesc US Reduces Presence Of Staffers Not Deemed Essential In Middle East As Tensions Rise :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-reduces-presence-of-staffers-not-deemed-essential-in-middle-east-as-tensions-rise-4178953.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~
