    Los Angeles Times' Kwasi Gyamfi Asiedu and Cindy Carcamo on whether
    Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell will allow Ur M Jaddou to grant
    TPS to the Cheap Labor Lobby's RIF'd scab workers: <URL:https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-02-19/tech-layoffs-foreign-worker-visa-time-limit>
    | Among those who have been laid off are foreign graduates of American
    | universities and colleges who received Optional Practical Training
    | work authorization after completing their studies. Those workers,
    | like Srinivas Ch, have 90 days to find new employers.
    |
    | Ch, 25, from India, graduated from the University of North Carolina
    | at Charlotte in August with a master's in computer science. He was
    | laid off - via email - in mid-January after just four months at
    | Amazon.
    |
    | "I felt really bad, I felt disheartened and eventually, I had to
    | shed some tears as well," he said. "Going into a FAANG company was
    | always a dream for me; being passionate about software, being a
    | software engineer, that was the biggest dream I ever had," he added,
    | referring to the industry acronym for Facebook, Apple, Amazon,
    | Netflix and Google.

    Does Donald Trump regret dispatching Jared and Ivanka Kushner to
    Silicon Valley to sue for peace with the likes of Mark Zuckerberg?

    "Legal Check: True. By sending his records to Mar-A-Lago, Trump
    declassified and made them "personal" under the Presidential Records
    Act. Like Bill Clinton did, per 2012 Obama judge ruling, when he put
    8 years of highly classified recordings of his presidency in his
    sock drawer. https://t.co/1sNQTvIqoZ" - Mike Davis <URL:https://twitter.com/mrddmia/status/1572975561701466113>
