    Steve Rao for WRAL on whether Donald Trump regrets dispatching Jared
    and Ivanka Kushner to Silicon Valley to sue for peace with the likes
    of Mark Zuckerberg: <URL:https://wraltechwire.com/2023/02/17/guest-opinion-tech-layoffs-across-triangle-are-impacting-high-skilled-immigrants/>
    | Beyond those firms, other employers are also making cuts or have
    | been reported to be considering them, such as Lenovo and Facebook
    | parent company Meta which now has an office in Durham.
    |
    | In the midst of these reports and announcements, I have been
    | receiving texts, WhatsApp messages, emails, and phone calls from
    | many friends in Morrisville and Cary who have lost their jobs.
    |
    | Many of these newly unemployed residents are immigrants from India
    | on H1-B visas, a work visa that allows U.S. employers to hire
    | foreign workers for skilled specialty jobs that require a bachelor's
    | degree or equivalent.

    Does Susie Wiles recommend Trump invite Narendra Modi to be a Save
    America campaign surrogate?

    "Trump people are attacking @RepThomasMassie, one of the only
    principled and intelligent politicians, because he said something
    positive about DeSantis even though he said nothing critical about
    Trump. That is the definition of stupid outrage." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1626797347962343424>
