After the Reform Party HUMILIATED Labour in elections, Keir Starmer smeared the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally as “extremist” and banned Conservatives from entering the country. The people of England’s response?: Tens of thousands FLOODING the streets 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Five outsourcing firms in the dataset filed 257,237 H-1B labor applications from FY2020-FY2025. Tesla, Walmart, Citibank, and NVIDIA combined filed 49,478. The outsourcing firms filed 5.2x more. That’s not a talent shortage. That’s a business model.

🚨 Congress has a FULL ARSENAL of America-First bills to finally crush H-1B abuse, kill the OPT loophole, and punish job-killing outsourcing... But NOT ONE has gotten a single vote. All still rotting in committee. Real reform — or just political theater? The only way to know is to FORCE your reps to act NOW. Here are the major bills (sponsors + intro dates): ✅ **S.2940** (Sen. Tom Cotton, R-AR — 9/30/25) → Ends FICA tax exemptions for OPT workers ✅ **H.R.2315** (Rep. Paul Gosar, R-AZ — 3/25/25) → Completely ELIMINATES the OPT program ✅ **S.2821** (Sen. Jim Banks, R-IN — 9/16/25) → American Tech Workforce Act: $150k H-1B wage floor + ends OPT ✅ **S.2928** (Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-IA — 9/29/25) → H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act: cuts fraud/abuse, protects American workers ✅ **H.R.8443** (Rep. Eli Crane, R-AZ — 4/22/26) → 3-year PAUSE on new H-1B visas ✅ **H.R.6937** (Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GA — 1/2/26) → End H-1B Now Act: full elimination of the H-1B program ✅ **S.2976 (HIRE Act)** (Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-OH — 10/6/25) → 25% excise tax on outsourcing payments (funds American worker training) ✅ **H.R.6225 (PAUSE Act)** (Rep. Chip Roy, R-TX — 11/20/25) → FREEZES most legal immigration until H-1B is abolished + OPT scrapped ✅ **H.R.995 / S.409 (No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act)** (Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-TX & Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI — 2/5/25) → Ends corporate tax incentives for offshoring jobs ✅ **Assimilation Act** (Rep. Andy Ogles, R-TN & Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-AL — 5/15/26) → Ends OPT + drastically reforms/curbs H-1B as part of major immigration overhaul Zero floor action. Zero excuses. American tech grads and workers are getting replaced daily. Pick up the phone and demand votes on these bills. Which one are you hammering your reps on hardest? Tag them below and let’s make this REAL 👇 @RepGosar @SenEricSchmitt @RepOgles @RepEliCrane @chiproytx

OPT puts Americans last and should be terminated.
Hany Girgis@SanDiegoKnight

American college grads are literally 7% (at least) more expensive to hire than foreign OPT workers ….because of a ridiculous tax loophole that lets companies skip FICA taxes on those foreign hires. Senator @SenTomCotton introduced the OPT Fair Tax Act on September 30, 2025 to END it and make them pay the same as Americans. This should be the most obvious NO-BRAINER vote in Congress. It’s been sitting in committee for over 7 months with ZERO action. How has this STILL not passed yet? (And yeah — OPT should be banned outright anyway.) Pass the bill NOW and put American workers FIRST. 🇺🇸

Official Layoff
Official Layoff@LayoffAI·
META LAYOFF UPDATE - ACTUALLY 22,000, NOT REPORTED 8,000 We are getting a lot of incoming questions about the latest with META, who are expected to layoff 8,000 employees next week. Here's the thing: It's not just 8,000 cuts. It's 14,000 positions gone right now. 6,000 open roles have been quietly cancelled on top of the layoffs. Furthermore, Reuters reported 20% total workforce cuts for 2026. Only half have been announced. Zuckerberg won't rule out more. SO THAT IS 22,000 TOTAL 2026 CUTS. Meanwhile, since January 2025, Meta filed 4,851 H-1B visa applications. Every single one certified. Zero denials. They also restarted green card sponsorship with 415 PERM filings after freezing the program entirely in 2024. Record quarter. $56.3B revenue. $26.8B profit. Cutting Americans. Importing replacements. Training the AI that finishes the job.

Meta just showed every CEO in America exactly how to replace their workforce. They laid off 700 people this week. Plan 15,000 more ASAP. Now, leaked internal documents reveal what comes next. Meta now requires 65% of its engineers to write 75% or more of their code using AI by mid-2026. Their Scalable Machine Learning org has a target of 50-80% AI-assisted code. Across Messenger, WhatsApp, and Facebook, 55% of all code changes must be “Agent-Assisted.” 80% of mid-to-senior engineers must adopt AI tools like DevMate and Google Gemini. Starting this year, every Meta employee is graded on “AI-driven impact” in their performance reviews. It is now a core expectation. If you don’t use AI, you don’t advance. Meta is the first major tech company to formally tie promotions to AI adoption. They built an internal game called “Level Up” that rewards employees with badges for hitting AI milestones. They rolled out an “AI Performance Assistant” to help write reviews. They are rebranding engineers as “AI Builders” and reorganizing teams into small “AI-native pods.” Zuckerberg said projects that once required large teams can now be handled by one “very talented” person. Read that again. One person replacing a team. Here’s why this matters beyond Meta. Every CEO in tech watches what Meta does. When Meta cut 11,000 in 2022, the rest of tech followed within months. When Meta tied performance reviews to AI, KPMG did the same thing within weeks. Accenture just told senior staff that AI tool usage will determine who gets promoted to leadership. The playbook is spreading. The pattern is clear. Step one: mandate AI adoption internally. Step two: measure how much output AI handles. Step three: when AI handles 75% of the work, you need 75% fewer people to do it. Step four: cut. Block already did this. Jack Dorsey cut 40% of the company and told shareholders “intelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company.” The stock surged 24%. Wall Street doesn’t reward hiring. It rewards headcount reduction. Every earnings call where a CEO says “AI is making us more productive” is a preview of the next layoff announcement. Meta is spending $135 billion on AI this year. They are simultaneously cutting thousands of workers. Those two facts are not in tension. They are the same strategy.

Senator John Hickenlooper
Tina Peters is guilty as sin and a disgrace to Colorado. She tried to undermine Colorado’s free and fair election system. When she was caught red-handed, she was prosecuted by a Republican district attorney and rightfully convicted by a jury of her peers. Reducing her sentence sends the wrong message to those seeking to undermine trust in our elections and it will do nothing to deter Donald Trump’s illegal attacks on Colorado. I strongly disagree with this decision.
The Denver Post@denverpost

BREAKING: Gov. Jared Polis will reduce Tina Peters’ sentence by half, appearing to bend to demands from President Trump — and ignoring pleas of other Colorado elected officials and the prosecutor behind the election data-breach scheme conviction denverpost.com/2026/05/15/tin…

Walmart filed 23,509 H-1B labor applications from FY2020-FY2025. That is more than Wipro. The world’s largest retailer is also running a huge tech visa pipeline. Top title: Software Engineer III.

Cognizant filed 101,579 H-1B labor applications from FY2020-FY2025. It is also tied to a landmark discrimination verdict where non-Indian workers were reportedly 8.4x more likely to be terminated from the bench. Why is this not front-page news?
