The critical thing to remember there is that Caitlyn Jenner is momentarily exempted through reflecting the same tabloid/reality-show celebrity culture as Trump. And as Trump is more a useful-idiot means to an end, it'll likely be when he dies that the TheoBro mullahs will take over and start staging Romanov-style mass executions of the Kardashian/Jenner clan.
The H1B presser was a good indicator that Trump isn't really running the show any more. They basically have to explain the policy to him in the room on air, and he kind of waves away and says yeah that sounds great whatever. He seems more concerned with building his ballroom. I'm confident they just tell him whatever they think will make him happy and then do everything else in the background. There's zero chance at this stage he has any idea what an H1B is or what it does. He's not well health-wise and I don't know if he makes it to 2026.
Well, if Loomer's actually presently de facto *dwelling* within the White House, and Trump dies and JD Vance gives her the ultimatum to vamoose, I can see her going bonkers and attempting to blow the place up Waco-style. Because she truly is that kind of crazy, coo coo bananas, etc. And *that* would be a moment to reckon with...
The 'All In' podcast billionaires recently posted a video of Trump touring them through the Oval Office. Trump talked a lot about how he zhuzhed up the Oval Office by hand picking some portraits and putting up gold spray painted decorative elements from Home Depot. He talked about his ballroom and why they paved the Rose Garden. This guy spent more than half his time on the trappings of office. I don't think he is really directing his administration--he delegated power to a bunch of trolls and influencers.
Except those who donate and support him, as there is a clause for H1Bs to skip the $100K requirement at the discretion of the secretary. Donate to POTUS and maybe your company won't have to pay H1B fees. Good grift.

And no doubt, he'll also be asking for a cut of the profits of these companies, much like he already has with Intel, Nvidia and AMD. The shakedown continues. That won't sit pretty with shareholders.
This could have repercussions for Canada. Canadian workers are Visa-exempt, so it could result in more workers leaving Canada for the U.S since there are likely to be increased vacancies in those U.S. tech sectors.
Like those South Koreans who were "arrested" by ICE and who were working legally in Georgia (the state, not the country).

Absolute shambolic understanding of the literature surrounding Tylenol/acetaminophen use and autism. The short answer is there is no link. The long is that the major study linking them is flawed. C.f. autism and measels vaccinesTom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
Trump administration set to tie Tylenol to autism risk, officials say
Officials will also tout the drug leucovorin as a potential autism treatment, in what President Donald Trump has billed as a “very important” announcement.
The Trump administration is expected to unveil new efforts Monday exploring how one medication may be linked to autism and another one can treat it, according to four people with knowledge of the plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the announcement was not yet public. Federal health officials are expected to raise concerns about pregnant women’s use of acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol and one of the most widely used medications globally. Officials have been reviewing previous research — including an August review by Mount Sinai and Harvard researchers — that suggests a possible link between Tylenol use early on in pregnancy and an increased risk of autism in children. They plan to warn pregnant women against using Tylenol early on unless they have a fever, according to the four individuals. In addition, officials plan to tout a lesser-known drug called leucovorin as a potential autism treatment. Leucovorin is typically prescribed to counteract some medications’ side effects and to treat vitamin B9 deficiency. Early double-blind, placebo-controlled trials administering leucovorin to children with autism have shown what some scientists describe as remarkable improvements in their ability to speak and understand others. Officials at the Food and Drug Administration have recently been reviewing language that could apply to the drug. The findings on leucovorin have sent ripples through the scientific community, sparking renewed debate about the complex causes of autism — a condition some experts had recently considered predominantly genetic, and therefore largely untreatable. The efforts have been a top priority for President Donald Trump, who has long voiced concerns about rising U.S. autism rates and tasked his deputies this year with finding answers. The initiative has drawn in Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary, National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya and other senior officials. Trump on Saturday forecast an announcement on autism, but he — and the officials — did not specify how it would be delivered. “I think it’s going to be a very important announcement. I think it’s going to be one of the most important things that we will do,” Trump said at an event Saturday hosted by the conservative American Cornerstone Institute.
