A federal judge struck down President Biden 's effort to ensure that far more Americans benefit from overtime pay.

Frida Ghitis : The decision generated startlingly few news stories and no outraged columnists.

She says it's unlikely Trump will continue to fight for the rule, but it should be a fair test of his record on this issue.

Frida Ghitis: Liberals need to look at why they have lost touch with working-class anxieties.

She says a genuine effort by Democrats to lift the fortunes of millions of people struggling with low overtime pay, one blocked by a Trump judge and business elites, got no media attention.

Ghitis says the media obsesses over Oliver Anthony and treats MAGA ’s fetishization of him as sincere.
