Here are 3 big things you need to know—
One — More than 200,000 federal employees may soon be let go by the Trump Administration. The Office of Personnel Management has reportedly advised all federal agencies to terminate their probationary employees. Federal workers can be on probation for up to two years before their civil service job protections begin. The order could affect more than nine-percent of the current federal workforce.
Two ---- TikTok is back. The social media app returned to the Apple and Google app stores last night, after being removed almost a month ago in response to a national security law that went into effect. The app's return follows a letter from US Attorney General Pam Bondi informing Apple it wouldn't be fined for hosting the app.
And number three — The Michigan Senate has approved a bill to save the state's tipped wage credit along with increasing the minimum wage. The bill passed last night by a 20-to-12 vote with bipartisan support, though a majority of Democrats voted “no”. The tipped wage would stay where it is the rest of this year and rise to 50-percent of the minimum wage over six years.
