The Supreme Court is its own authority.
There is nothing in the Constitution that gives Congress the power to change the number of Justices.
Historically, the Court allowed it as the country developed but it is now fixed at nine.
Regardless, the Supreme Court governs itself.
🚨 QUALCOMM IS PLANNING ANOTHER ROUND OF GLOBAL LAYOFFS.
Reuters obtained an internal memo confirming job cuts will begin in November.
Here’s why this deserves attention.
Qualcomm Technologies filed 1,895 H-1B labor condition applications in FY2025.
And Trump’s September 18 order directs federal agencies to consider recent layoffs when reviewing H-1B sponsorship.
Three questions:
How many American employees will be affected?
Will Qualcomm continue sponsoring foreign workers for similar positions?
And will federal regulators examine any overlap?
The administration’s new layoffs scrutiny is about to face another real-world test.

@LayoffAI In 1990 most small
and mid-sized firms didn't know what an H1-B was and all assumed that an immigration law firm would be needed.
It's 2026. Everyone in the industry knows what forms to file and has a computer to access them.
Times change. Laws must too.
@WesleyMouch3@JackPosobiec I'm not joining the anti-Indian crowd or any other.
Americans would have done the same thing were the situation reversed, even Somalia
But I believe in country and we need to protect what we have.
My anger is towards the program. Immigration needs an overhaul, top to bottom.
@Leo__Filgueiras@WesleyMouch3@JackPosobiec Do you even know what's happening at the upper end of the economy?
We are all getting squeezed buddy. It's not just the temporary farm worker coming up thru Mexico. Everyone is getting f'd.
@Leo__Filgueiras@WesleyMouch3@JackPosobiec I'll go a step further.
Foundational Americans, the settlers, formerly enslaved, the natives, natives, even the spanish we fought in Texas and California, should all get 5 votes.
People from 1800s get three.
All else 1.
@Leo__Filgueiras@WesleyMouch3@JackPosobiec No one is boiling anybody.
Mexico, America, and Canada have been here long before you.
The frontier days of all three countries is over. It time for each to define themselves. For me, that would be any legal person present at our 250th.
@1337_viking@unusual_whales We were all fooled.
Democrats pushed mass immigration. RINOs pushed business immigration.
Time to swallow our pride and admit Europeans got one thing right -> they protected European jobs.
Their mistake was letting too many to be defined as European.
We must fix both.
@HHyperinflation@unusual_whales You guys are f'd like us.
And that loophole will be exploited by Psuedo-American companies.
I hate to say this but maybe the damn Europeans have it right about job protection. I have to think about this.
Congress will need a solution before they act.
Canada will too.
@unusual_whales And America's attempt to cut down on H1-B fraud is doomed.
This loophole will be exploited by Canadian and US firms. We are both F'd.
Fairly soon we will have to fly to Wyoming or Northern Canada to be treated by an American, Mexican, American, or Canadian.

@whoknows197563@MouthS19190 In agreement - let them go.
But, maybe a new class of corporation is needed to separate American corporations from Global. Tough subject.
@Not_a_Bot_0x21@ChiefEngineerCE No one wants to go into the field anymore because of the culture. The same thing happened in IT.
"Toughen up" you might say, it's not so easy.
@CharityMain306@StephenM Definitely a supporter of Israel.
As for Russia, they wear colors unlike internal socialists. We know where they stand.
We can keep them at arms length, have a dust up when needed, but otherwise leave them alone and trade with them. They are far less of a threat than others.
