    Financial Express' Anjana PV on whether Donald Trump has ordered Susie
    Wiles to share with Trump's endorsed successor (Peter Thiel's VP JD
    Vance? Norm Braman's Little Marco Rubio? another GOP.COM striver for WhiteHouse.GOV with a billionaire moneyman?) Trump's MAGA marketing
    research gathered by Wiles (and Bill Stepien before her (and Brad
    Parscale before him)) and do legacy American proles worry about the
    Cheap Labor Lobby's efforts to take costs out of their labor expenses
    via global wage arbitrage: <URL:https://www.financialexpress.com/business/investing-abroad-it-feels-like-drowning-laid-off-h-1b-worker-faces-harsh-reality-of-60-day-countdown-to-find-a-sponsor-3899586/>
    | After years of dedication, long hours, and weekends sacrificed for
    | his employer, an H1B worker found himself abruptly laid off, setting
    | off a race against time to secure a new job before his visa status
    | runs out. Sharing his story through a burner account for privacy,
    | the worker described the emotional toll of suddenly being thrust
    | into limbo.
    |
    | "I got the news two days ago that I was being laid off, just like
    | that. After everything I've done for this company... it's over. And
    | I'm on an H1B. I have, what, 60 days to find a new sponsor? The
    | clock is ticking and I can feel it in every breath, he wrote. The
    | worker has already applied to dozens of companies, but the response
    | has been discouraging. He continued, "Most places don't want the
    | 'extra hassle' of visa paperwork. I've got the skills. I've got the
    | experience. But the visa makes me a liability in their eyes."

    Will Joseph Edlow's USCIS.GOV report on the number of Cheap Labor
    Lobby scab workers who have self-deported following RIFs by their
    employers?

    nomination of USAO Ed Martin. Senator Tillis has also blocked many
    of the key elements of President Trump's border effort and
    immigration plan, and last night he announced he will vote against
    President Trump and the Big Beautiful Bill." - Sundance <URL:https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/06/29/senator- thom-tillis-announces-he-will-not-seek-re-election/>
