The nation‘s largest business organization thinks the Trump administration’s policy regarding H1-B worker visas is not pro business. Spoiler: it is not.

🧐

The US chamber of commerce is suing the Trump administration over its decision to impose $100,000 fee for New H- 1B verses, making it the second major challenge to this policy this month.

Trump is making a mockery of having a “free press”.

“The nation’s military and defense journalists exited the Pentagon in unison Wed afternoon, having had their accreditation revoked after refusing to agree to the Defense Department’s new restrictions on their newsgathering activities.”

100 miles into road trip, family realizes their cat is on top of their van. The Denardo family had already driven for 2 hours when they stopped for gas, and saw that Ray Ray the cat had come with them.

That’s a badass cat.

Abolish ICE.

Abolish this entire failed system.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

This is actually a part of Biden's presidency instituted to allow the Qatari pilots to train on the F-15s they are receiving as a part of a $12B sale. It's certainly possible Trump and Hesgeth have made it worse, but more likely they're just taking credit.
