    Michael Bloomberg's guest blogger, Andrew Kreighbaum, on whether
    Susie Wiles worries that David McIntosh will allow Ron DeSantis
    to make Donald Trump regret dispatching Jared and Ivanka Kushner
    to Silicon Valley to sue for peace with likes of Mark Zuckerberg: <URL:https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/metas-h-1b-hiring-spurs-ninth-circuit-look-at-citizenship-bias>
    | Meta's H-1B hiring practices previously came under scrutiny from the
    | departments of Justice and Labor as part of a new focus from the
    | Trump administration on discrimination against US workers.
    |
    | The DOJ accused Facebook of reserving positions for temporary visa
    | holders and routinely refusing to recruit or hire US workers for
    | those jobs, while the DOL separately found recruitment violations as
    | part of an audit of Meta's labor certification applications.
    |
    | The company agreed to pay more than $14 million in civil penalties
    | to settle those claims, while admitting no wrongdoing.

    Does Wiles believe Glenn Youngkin will make Trump regret slow-walking
    the upgrading of the Cheap Labor Lobby's H-1B scab worker import quota
    lottery to a wage ordered queue?

    "Trump's "major announcement" was an NFT drop. Some argued it was
    clever campaign fundraiser. But the fine print said the NFTs were
    "not political and have nothing to do with any political campaign."
    Trump apparently sold his likeness to an obscure company. https://t.co/2v45Iw8Uvl" - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1603839350202142721>
