I hate to say it but this is also a step towards socialism.
The government owning a business, partially or wholly, is never a good idea in any nation.
BIG NEWS: The United States of America now owns 10% of Intel, one of our great American technology companies.
This historic agreement strengthens U.S. leadership in semiconductors, which will both grow our economy and help secure America’s technological edge.
Thanks to Intel CEO @LipBuTan1 for striking a deal that’s fair to Intel and fair to the American People.

It’s time to re-think—and ideally repeal—the Jones Act
It severely hurts hardworking Americans, especially in Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and parts of New England, by sharply increasing prices on almost everything they buy
It hurts the poor while further enriching a small handful of extremely wealthy families

I am very confused about what conservative cultural and moral values are supposed to be at the moment

This is strange since the President of the United States assured me that American consumers do not pay the cost of tariffs

The real red pill will come when people try to get permits to rebuild their homes and face multiyear waits.
This might finally spell doom for the Coastal Commission, which should not even exist as an organization.

🧵 Apple pays $25M fine for finding ways to disqualify Americans from applying for jobs so they could help their H-1B visa foreign workers obtain employment-based Green Cards for “permanent” job positions.
More proof “high-skill” immigration is a scam.

Unless Democrats seize control of the immigration issue, the politics of it will end up having the same effect as in other Western countries—rocket fuel for the populist right.

Fun SCOTUS stats from this term:
50%: unanimous in outcome (counting 3 PCs)
89%: at least one liberal justice in the majority
8%: 6-3 with the 6 Republican appointees all on one side
3%: 5-4 with the 3 Democratic appointees all on one side

Adam Johnson (@adamjohnsonNYC) wrote an op-ed in the Chronicle slamming Michael Moritz's' NYTimes piece about San Francisco.
I asked him if he's visited SF anytime recently. His response was to block me.
Guess we got the answer!

#EagleAct supporters blaming Pelosi for their failed bill is pretty rich.
@HouseDemocrats went outta their way for the bill after @immivoice promised @HouseGOP votes only to deliver none..TWICE:
First in the markup; then in the rule vote. But facts don't fundraise, I guess... – at Washington, DC

EAGLE Act didn't get a vote today. Likely because they don't have the votes. Normally, this is where an advocacy group would reach out to allies & friends on the Hill & do a full-court press, but that's not going to happen for the group that's burnt every bridge they've crossed.

From Majority Leader' Hoyer's email: **Members are advised that the Chair has announced that further proceedings of H.R. 3648 – EAGLE Act of 2022 will be postponed. The House is no longer expected to complete consideration of H.R. 3648."

The EAGLE Act won’t even clear the current backlog 4 people born in India.
It’s a bait & switch bill that w/ cripple American higher education, health care, even the space program: all depend on recruiting talent from all over the world.

This bill received zero R votes in the House Judiciary Committee. I’m not sure what went wrong, but the bill’s chances are far more bleak than they’ve been.
A bill’s movement and passage are predicated on bipartisan support throughout the process. EAGLE Act failed that in 2022.
NEW: Hill aides are sharing #EagleAct related lobbying materials, including...
- messaging against the bill from @AILANational
- messaging for the bill from @teamwaxman
- screenshots of @immivoice founder Aman Kapoor attacking House allies on Telegram
Bulletin Monday.
