Thank you for this incredible ride, Mr. President.

We are all grateful for your leadership.

3 years to go……

And the Best is Yet to Come.

Immigration policy must be driven by the present, not the past, and business leaders are too terrified of the left AND the right to acknowledge this.

Recent H1B discourse revolves around a longstanding immigration sleight-of-hand. H1B proponents point to exceptional people who came here decades ago as if they represent the current state of the program in the same way that advocates for low-skill/illegal immigration point to very favorable immigrant crime/welfare/education/etc statistics that do, in truth, have them beating native-born Americans on many fronts.

It is all a sham. The world that created those statistics, people, and businesses no longer exists. Brilliant but desperate Vietnamese fathers who fled communism have nothing in common with young men from Honduras, and the crime rates/economic acccomplishments/integration of the former should not be used to justify mass migration of the latter.

Nor should the accomplishments of people who managed to get an H1B visa in the 90s (when the program was capped to just 65,000 visas) be used to justify staffing agencies and tech companies using the program to replace American jobs for less money. The obvious abuse going on is politically suicidal and something that even the most ardent supporters of the visa should want to crack down on, no immigration program can possibly survive the obvious and widely known reality of what is going on. I am a longtime outspoken advocate for stealing the best people from other countries to make our own better, runaway abuse of existing programs robs the government of the worker trust required to do so.

Lots of people in the tech space know this. Even the dumb people are smart enough to see it. Nobody actually believes these are all incredible people with unique talents performing jobs no American can. Everyone knows the guy in Cubicle Bay 7 doing mediocre but functional web design for half the salary of his American peers is no savant and doesn't meet the statutory requirements for his H-1B visa.

Unfortunately, most people with power or profile are terrified that any public statement or acknowledgement will get them attacked by the right (You guys have been screwing over American workers for years with visa abuse, you damn hypocrite!) or the left (You are racist, sexist, misogynist, and sucking up to this fascist administration!). Or, more likely, both. I know too many tech execs in particular who feel trapped, like the only winning move is to stay silent.

JD is blowing the whole thing wide open by putting facts and stats front and center that nobody wants to engage with. Critics will talk about anything and everything else but these damning facts and this obvious truth, that H1B visas serve neither their original purpose, legal purpose, invented purpose, or the American people.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

I would sincerely love our Council to take a minute to imagine a person who lives in DC, has a job, is a net fiscal contributor, and doesn't commit crimes.

What have you done over the past year to improve the life of someone like that? What will you do next year?

WATCH: Vice President JD Vance leads a Nebraska crowd in prayer after a medical emergency pauses his remarks for several minutes.

As the situation unfolds, Vance turns to the audience and invites them to pray together, saying he tries to remember how the Lord taught people to pray in moments like this.

The condition of the person receiving medical attention is not immediately clear.

Francis Fukuyama: "The lack of a strong national musical tradition contributes to the weakness of American national identity."

[Shyam Sankar @ssankar]

That last sentence should be “streamrolled by the relentless, totalizing, and extraordinarily flexible machine that is America”

Finance is the last mile link in fundamental acts of creation, ambition, and virtue. It is not the thing itself.

One of the most concise and eloquent descriptions of KP’s unique virtues.

[Eric W. @EWess92]

Professor @Aaron_L_Nielson, former Texas Solicitor General, has a fascinating article up at @CivitasOutlook. Highlighted here is the fourth part, focusing on the excellent job @KenPaxtonTX has done as Attorney General. Worth reading, especially for Texas voters.

Gregg is paid to give aid and comfort to the harassment of young civil servants.

What an ignoble vocation.

[Gregg Nunziata @greggnunziata]

People i respect are jumping on the condemnation of @SenatorSlotkin's remarks, but they're falling for a brief clip dishonestly framed.

In the full remarks she's taking about how do we deal with executive power off the rails, with no accountability for criminal abuse of power.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

A BIG THANK YOU to our legendary friend, @ElonMusk, for his incredible generosity in giving SpaceX Stock to millions of American children through TRUMP ACCOUNTS! This is exactly what was envisioned when we created TRUMP ACCOUNTS — Bringing together the GREAT PRIVATE SECTOR, Elon and so many more, to invest in our children, by far our greatest and most important asset, and give every American Child a piece of the American Dream. Thank you Elon! President DONALD J. TRUMP

I am especially grateful for First Lady Melania Trump’s leadership in championing women’s health. Today, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are taking an important step toward improving care for women at every stage of life.

This is deeply personal to me. Having gone through breast cancer myself, I know firsthand the importance of early detection, medical research, and quality care.

I am grateful to the President and First Lady for their commitment to helping women live longer, healthier lives.

[Saurabh Sharma @ssharmaUS]

Many of them will try to collaborate with Ms. Slotkin, I’m sure.

[Saurabh Sharma @ssharmaUS]

Do any of the people with strong opinions on the Republican staffer class have something to say about this?

ON UCHICAGO CAMPUS: U.S. Senator from Michigan Elissa Slotkin hopes planned political prosecutions of republican leaders will scare young conservatives from getting involved in politics.

Eric has done some of the most important legal work of this administration.

This is incredibly well deserved.

Early voting is now underway in Texas. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. If you violate federal election law anywhere in the Southern District, I will hunt you down and prosecute you.
