Media Miss by the right: Federal worker unions sue Trump admin over loyalty-based hiring
Three federal workers’ unions have filed a lawsuit accusing the Trump administration of adding political loyalty questions to federal job applications.
Federal civil service positions are meant to be nonpartisan, but the lawsuit claims new questions asked candidates to name their favorite Trump executive order and explain how they would personally help execute it.
According to the Daily Beast, those questions even appeared in job postings for non-political roles – including positions like dental hygienist and beverage manager.

Media Miss by the left: US Rep. Carter to introduce ‘MAMDANI Act’ to block all funds to NYC
U.S. Representative Buddy Carter, R-Ga., introduced legislation that would block all federal funds from New York City for as long as Zohran Mamdani is the city’s mayor.
On top of that, the Measuring Adverse Market Disruption and National Impact – or MAMDANI Act – would also attempt to take back federal funding that’s already been allocated to the city.
The bill is unlikely to advance in Congress.
