    FastCompany's Pavithra Mohan on whether Susie Wiles worries that Ken
    Griffin and Lachlan Murdoch will give permission to Ron DeSantis to
    outflank Donald Trump from the right on the National Question by
    inviting the likes of Mike Emmons onto their campaign stage: <URL:https://www.fastcompany.com/90855300/startup-wants-help-laid-off-tech-workers-retain-visa-status>
    | Alcorn has teamed up with Ellis, a startup that provides immigration
    | and financial support to international students, to assist laid-off
    | workers who are trying to buy time and protect their visa status
    | while they find a new job or figure out the best course of action.
    | Alcorn is encouraging people in this situation to file for a change
    | of status by applying for a temporary visa like the B1 or B2, which
    | allows visa holders to remain in the U.S. for up to 180 days.

    | "If you're on an H-1B, the best thing would be to get a new job that
    | can do an H-1B transfer for you where the new company will file it
    | within the 60 days," Alcorn says. "But it's very, very difficult for
    | people to get laid off, regroup, apply for jobs, get first
    | interviews, get second interviews, negotiate offers, and accept an
    | offer where the company agrees to do the transfer. And then it'll
    | easily take the company three to four weeks to get all the paperwork
    | together."

    Will Kevin McCarthy block Ur M Jaddou from granting TPS to the Cheap
    Labor Lobby's RIF'd scab workers?

    "Emmer admits in his email he refused to get behind a single
    candidate, trying to bolster one over the other and hints that
    Trump's endorsement of Palin tied there hands. Multiple pro-amnesty
    & big money groups spent money for Begich." - Ryan Girdusky <URL:https://twitter.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1565152181728284672>
