All eyes in politics were on the Alabama Senate race this week, as a Democrat pulled off a startling win against a maverick GOP candidate; in Washington, Republicans sped ahead with their overhaul of the tax code, while President Donald Trump continued to lash out at the special counsel investigation.

But that wasn’t the whole story this week: Elsewhere in D.C., federal agencies made a number of major policy changes that got much less attention. Many were at independent agencies that now have Republican majorities, with commissioners nominated by Trump, and are beginning to overturn Democratic rules issued during the Obama era. Here’s how Trump changed policy this week:

1. NLRB reverses course on multiple Obama-era rulings

Who is your real employer? The question is increasingly important as more and more Americans have jobs as contractors or through staffing agencies. In 2015, in a highly watched decision, the National Labor Relations Board—with a Democratic majority—ruled that Browning-Ferris Industries was jointly liable for labor violations committed by a staffing firm it hired to supply employees. The decision effectively expanded the definition of “joint employment,” so that more companies would be liable for infractions committed by their franchisees or contractors.

Labor advocates lauded the ruling, saying it was necessary to uphold workers’ collective bargaining rights as the number of workers in temporary or contractual work rises. But those cheers were short-lived. This week, the NLRB—now with a GOP majority—overturned the Browning-Ferris decision, saying that it violated the National Labor Relations Act and was “ill-advised as a matter of policy.” Instead, it reinstated the previous standard, which makes it harder for workers to challenge companies for their contractors or franchisees’ NLRA violations.

The NLRB also took the first step in overturning its 2014 ruling that allowed unions to speed up elections, which unions said were necessary to prevent common stall tactics from companies. Businesses argued that the 2014 rule prevented them from adequately preparing for the elections. In the new, conservative era at the NLRB, businesses are finding a much more welcome reception.

2. White House releases its new regulatory blueprint

Twice a year, the White House releases a major report on its regulatory plans, complete with a detailed breakdown for each agency, from major ones like the Department of Labor to obscure ones like the American Battle Monuments Commission, and its scheduled rulemakings. This so-called Unified Agenda is highly anticipated by businesses, lawmakers and lobbyists.

On Thursday, the White House released its second Unified Agenda—the first was released in July—but it was the first that included new Trump-era features on so-called deregulatory actions, which are any regulatory action taken by an agency that reduces economic costs. Experts are still looking through the document, attempting to discern any changes from the July version, and digging into how Trump intends to overhaul the government’s regulatory apparatus.

As has been clear for a while, Trump’s main regulatory priority is to roll back the regulatory state. The White House claimed Thursday that the administration had cut 22 regulations for each new one it issued, and claimed $570 million in annual economic savings this year. Those numbers are exaggerated, since they include every deregulatory action while only including regulations with costs greater than $100 million—and nearly 75 percent of the $570 million in cost savings comes from the repeal of one rule. But the Unified Agenda shows that the administration plans to target a wide era of Obama-era rules and implement other Trump administration priorities.

A few examples: The Department of Education plans to issue new proposals to replace two Obama-era rules that were intended to protect students from predatory for-profit colleges. Those proposed rules are scheduled to be issued in May and June 2018. The Department of Transportation will focus its rulemaking on drones, which are likely to loosen restrictions on operators, while the Department of Labor intends to issue rules to reform the H1-B visa program for skilled workers to focus on the “best and brightest” and to prevent the spouses of H1-B visa holders from receiving work permits.

But it wasn’t all good news for the deregulatory crowd: The Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to repeal a far-reaching Obama-era rule intended to limit pollution in America’s wetlands is delayed. In July, the agency said it would issue a proposed rule this month. That has now been delayed to next May. A final rule isn’t expected until June 2019.

3. Department of Transportation kills Obama-era rule on airline fees

Just 11 days before Trump took office, the Department of Transportation proposed a rule to force airlines to disclose checked and carry-on baggage fees when passengers first begin to purchase a ticket, rather than later during the process. While airlines are required to disclose those fees, consumer groups argued that they are often hidden late in the process. The Obama-era proposal, they said, would increase transparency and improve market competition.

But this week, the Department of Transportation officially withdrew the proposed rule, saying it was of “limited public benefit” and that the Department’s existing rules were adequate to protect consumers from hidden fees. Consumer groups and Democrats slammed the move while airlines groups praised the withdrawal, saying the Obama-era rule was an unfair restriction on airlines’ rights to market and sell their product as they see fit.

4. FCC makes big moves—beyond net neutrality

The Federal Communication Commission’s decision on Thursday to overturn Obama-era rules on net neutrality dominated the headlines, provoking a sharp backlash from liberal groups who said that the rollback would threaten the free and open Internet. Conservatives praised the move, arguing that liberal fears were vastly overblown and that it will encourage digital innovation.

But beyond net neutrality, the FCC also made a couple other key decisions on Thursday. Most notably, the FCC issued a “notice of proposed rulemaking” on changing or killing a cap on media ownership, which currently prevents broadcasters from reaching more than 39 percent of the national audience. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said the agency has no specific plans for reforming the cap, saying, “We are just asking.” But many groups are skeptical of Pai’s intentions after he reinstated a policy earlier this year, known as the UHF discount, that critics say was designed to enable the conservative broadcaster Sinclair Broadcast Group to purchase to purchase Tribune Media without violating the 39 percent cap. Pai says the UHF discount and the media ownership cap are “inextricably linked” and the FCC intends to review them together.

The FCC also voted to create a new “blue alert” code—to go along with existing alerts including for missing children (AMBER alert) and severe weather—for when a law enforcement officer is killed or in trouble. This change was less controversial: It passed unanimously.

5. USDA begins repeal of organic livestock welfare rule

On January 19, just a day before Trump took office, the Department of Agriculture published a new rule intending to improve conditions for organically raised animals on everything from daily access to the outdoors to acceptable euthanasia methods. Animal welfare groups and many organic farmers cheered the news, while large egg producers and other big agricultural companies said it would raise prices for consumers.

This week, USDA took the first step toward overturning the Obama-era rule, issuing a proposed rule to repeal it altogether. The move wasn’t exactly a surprise: USDA had already sharply criticized the rule as having both legal and policy issues and had delayed its effective date three times. It’s currently not set to take effect until May 2018. Now, that almost certainly that will not happen.
