It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa. The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it. https://twitter.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1998791717752062345?s=20 Autopen. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1998407015756964343?s=20 to decide if it gets a floor vote. I hope they do the right thing. The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.' It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream. Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump's words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist. In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise. The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face. For many Americans, the affordability crisis is so severe that they think the American dream is no longer within reach. In fact, only 22 percent of young Americans think they will be better off than their parents.

Countries on the list include much of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Qatar, Israel, Chile and Brunei. Citizens or nationals of these countries have been allowed to freely travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa. If the proposal is adopted, they’ll have to share their online footprint – something that immigrant and nonimmigrant visa applicants from different categories have been required to provide since 2019. The list also includes; Telephone numbers used in the last five years Email addresses used in the last 10 years IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos Biometrics – including facial, fingerprint, DNA and Iris data Information about one’s family – including names, telephone numbers, dates of birth, places of birth and residences.

The Code Conduct is a document agreed upon by social media companies for removing hate. The improved upon “Code of Conduct Plus” continues to be an important tool under the DSA: “On 20 January 2025, the revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online + (the ‘Code of conduct+') was integrated into the regulatory framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA), following a positive assessment from the Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. The Code of conduct+, which builds on the Code of Conduct adopted in 2016, strengthens the way online platforms deal with content deemed illegal hate speech according to EU law and Member States' laws. It facilitates compliance with and the effective enforcement of the DSA in this specific area.” This new Conduct Code+ was established as a “DSA Code of conduct”. This empowered civil society organisations to act as watchdogs. “Following its integration, adherence to the Code of conduct+ may be considered as an appropriate risk mitigation measure for signatories designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA.” “The DSA classifies platforms or search engines that have more than 45 million users per month in the EU as very large online platforms (VLOPs)” https://twitter.com/emd_worldwide/status/1998556257251152246?s=20 letter confirms the details of that action.

If the move goes through, it would effectively criminalize a major arm of humanitarian relief in Gaza and beyond. Although, it’s been noted that such sanctions would be highly unusual, since the U.S. is both a U.N. member and the host nation of the body that created the agency in 1949. Despite this, Trump previously reaffirmed that the U.S. would not fund UNRWA earlier this year. In October, Secretary of State Marco Rubio also referred to UNRWA as a subsidiary of Hamas: “UNRWA’s not going to play any role in it… The United Nations is here, we're seeing the work they're doing… They’re on the ground. We’re willing to work with them if they can make it work, but not UNRWA.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?” .

Importing voters is a CERTAIN path to a single-party supermajority and has ALREADY happened at the state level in California and New York. It also explains why those states have BANNED VOTER ID in order to accelerate a permanent socialist supermajority, destroying any semblance of democracy.

Moreover, Trump faces unique challenges in an intransigent Deep State and an array of rogue judges, neither of which any other President has faced at this scale. Nevertheless, in less than a year Trump has kept more of his campaign promises than any other President since FDR. Some of you people need to wise up. There is no Government Fairy. It’s a hard slog, and we’re winning–unless YOU mess it up, Doomsters. Don’t mess it up. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/1998827695439004144?s=20 care, the GOP deserves it.” This is self-fulfilling prophecy. It suppresses voter enthusiasm, suppresses voter turn out, and creates exactly the barren ground that Leftists have come to expect from a conservative movement that seems determined to fail at every turn even when it is winning. *versus* 2. “I am so happy that we have made so much progress. Trump has done amazing things in a short period of time against unprecedented institutional resistance. We are winning and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the restoration of our Constitutional republic. Nevertheless, there is much to be done. President Trump and the true conservatives in Congress need our enthusiastic, vocal support. We must keep the pressure on the eGOP, the Democrats and the lying media. This is a tough battle, but we will win.” THAT my friends is a message of victory. It too becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as it inspires the voting base yet does not ignore the work yet to be done. It’s winning. ————————— Allow me to paraphrase Napoleon Bonaparte: “In politics, the moral is to the physical as three is to one.” _________________________ In other words, why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves, Moriarity. https://twitter.com/Avis_Liberatum/status/1998829654241694036?s=20 https://twitter.com/MattMorseTV/status/1998541820285145219?s=20 and for America itself. In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana's case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don't want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn't care. He's either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn't be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way. Bray and his friends are the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won't be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again. One of my favorite States, Indiana, will be the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down! Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens. Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision. For some Republicans who support Trump’s policy but have struggled to properly communicate the importance to their constituents, the president simplified the issue for the entire party.

The presenting problem? "This employee isn't performing." The real problem? Leaders haven't set expectations, provided resources, or even talked to their people regularly.Janelle shares the specific language and frameworks for noticing when something's wrong, asking the right questions, and creating the kind of connection that actually moves the needle.Whether you lead a sales team, manage managers, or wonder if your team thinks you're any good, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership development and human connection in the workplace.Connect with Janelle: Humannovate Consulting - humannovateconsulting.com12 Bold Moves - Audiobook: Want to break free and soar to new heights?

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in. Joe Biden continues to kill people even after he left office. The Biden administration allowed many unvetted illegal immigrants into our country, including the ones that have been committing crimes, rapes, murders and more. The loss of one of our D.C. National Guard soldiers and the critical state of another is the result of the failure of the Biden Administration to keep us and our troops safe. Another example was the withdraw from Afghanistan which was wrong and killed many of our heroes, and should have never happened. In addition, the Kremlin is out there saying Putin wants peace talks as meetings kick off in Saudi Arabia—but he keeps talking about “reality on the ground,” which is code for “we're not giving back what we took.” Nevertheless, we must trust in President Trump because he will make sure that this peace deal goes smoothly and that we make sure that there is peace once and for all. Lastly, Republicans in Congress are wrestling with what to do about these Obamacare subsidies that are about to expire. The final decision is going to come down to Trump. The Democrats—what do they do? They take this record-breaking government shutdown and turn it into a political stunt. They're demanding we keep these subsidies going, the same ones Biden pumped up during the pandemic. They're set to vanish by the end of the year. Here's the reality: Republicans know healthcare premiums are shooting through the roof therefore something has to be done. They don't want to just rubber-stamp Biden's plan and keep these subsidies exactly as they are. That's not reform—that's surrender. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever feel like you need ALL the answers before making a move, Sausers? In this episode, hosts Molly and Liz are diving into the 80/20 rule—but not the one you're thinking of. They're talking about how decision-making is actually 80% courage and only 20% certainty, why healing requires surrendering to what happened before you can take action, and how self-trust is built through the tiny promises you keep to yourself every single day. If you're an all-or-nothing person (hi, it's them), this conversation is going to resonate. They're breaking down how to find peace with not having it all figured out and why that might actually be the most powerful move you can make. Let's get into it.

What if you could transform a legacy law firm while staying true to your personal goals? In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, attorney Lauren Presser reveals the law firm growth strategies that transformed her practice, creating clarity, balance, and sustainable growth. After buying out her uncle's 50-year-old family firm in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Lauren partnered with Atticus to modernize every part of her practice. The result was a 35% increase in revenue within one year, without sacrificing her family time or her sanity. This is a compelling narrative of courage, mentorship, and strategic innovation in a traditionally static industry. Lauren's transformation began with a clear why: she wanted to be fully present for her children while leading a thriving practice. Every change she made flowed from that intention. With coaching and focus, she trained her legal assistants to lead initial consultations, replaced discounts with fixed-fee packages, and introduced structured scheduling: no walk-ins, time templates, and set client touchpoints. Lauren's story is a masterclass in law firm growth strategies that actually work. Her firm's culture evolved too. Lauren implemented a simple bonus structure built around three measurable KPIs, aligning her team and inspiring accountability. The result was a calm, collaborative environment where everyone knew what success looked like. Lauren's story proves that growth doesn't require burnout. By setting boundaries, empowering her team, and leading with purpose, she built a profitable firm that supports her life instead of consuming it. Her journey is a powerful example of what's possible when you pair intentional leadership with practical systems and a reminder that success at work means little if you miss the moments that matter most at home. In this episode, you will hear: Lauren Presser's transformation from associate to principal owner of a 50-year-old law firm Strategies for achieving a 35% revenue increase while maintaining work-life balance Implementation of fixed pricing models and bonus structures based on key performance indicators Overcoming challenges in a family-run firm and navigating systemic changes with the help of mentorship Strategic moves, such as relocating to a larger office space to accommodate a growing team Importance of setting boundaries to ensure personal well-being and professional success Empowering non-lawyers to conduct initial consultations and the benefits of adopting innovative business practices Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

In this episode, we tackle the monumental challenge of teaching equity, justice, and critical thinking in an era of restrictive policies and political scrutiny. We provide a strategic roadmap for maintaining your professional integrity without sacrificing your personal safety.Key TakeawaysThe Duty of Non-Neutrality: We examine Freire's belief that education must always serve freedom, and what neutrality truly costs our students. We also share the powerful context of his exile for holding this stance.Strategic Advocacy: We break down actionable moves into two categories: Subtle Moves (using curriculum as a shield, letting primary sources speak) and Bold Moves (collective advocacy, knowing your policy).The AnchorED Framework: We introduce the AnchorED for Achievement framework—Agency, Norms, Community, Hope, Opportunity, Reflection, Empowerment, and Data-Informed Practice—as a memory tool and strategic guide for applying these advocacy moves.The Un-Bannable Work: We focus on how empowering students through Agency and Empowerment ensures that the core work of critical thinking continues, regardless of external attempts to restrict content.Reflection QuestionsFor Teachers: What is one "anchor" from the AnchorED framework that you can apply this week to a potentially challenging topic?

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has had an intriguing few days filled with business pivots, headline-grabbing social media activity, and a rare musical moment. On Friday, June 6, he unveiled a bold new monochromatic look and posted a string of moody selfies to Instagram, tagging his newly-launched clothing brand SKYLRK. The singer lounged in rich blue hues—oversized hoodie, leggings, and classic white socks—offering followers a peek into his casual side, all while watching sports with a friend. This SKYLRK launch is turning heads for more than its style. The brand steps in right as Bieber publicly and dramatically cut ties with Drew House, his previous fashion label. In an April Instagram Story, Bieber urged fans not to support Drew House, declaring it no longer represented him or his family. Notably, his wife Hailey Bieber was involved in SKYLRK's design process, according to Page Six, even teasing her favorite jacket on Instagram before the story expired. The details of SKYLRK remain elusive—the website is password-protected and the Instagram account is virtually empty—so, for now, speculation swirls as to the label's aesthetic and market ambitions. Beyond fashion, Justin Bieber's music catalogue continues to be big business. Hipgnosis Songs Management acquired Bieber's entire song catalogue in January 2023, with this asset still making headlines as Hipgnosis underwent further industry restructuring in 2025, according to Wikipedia. While Bieber himself has not commented recently, industry analysts continue to cite this massive deal among the modern music world's most significant rights sales. In terms of wealth, while he's not yet a billionaire, a recent YouTube analysis pegs his fortune around 350 million dollars in 2025—thanks to record sales, explosive tours, and investments in fashion and tech. On the public appearance front, Bieber was seen sharing sunset snaps in St Andrews, Scotland, earlier this week, giving the local Edinburgh beer a thumbs up—a gesture that generated over a million Instagram likes, reports The Scotsman. In a quieter musical moment, a short video posted on YouTube October 4 shows him playing the song Walking Away at the piano, showcasing his stripped-down artistry for fans and sparking plenty of nostalgic buzz. All in all, Bieber's week reveals a star doubling down on personal branding, selectively sharing glimpses of his music, and remaining front and center in both business dealings and the public imagination.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

With a background in finance and private equity, Divya attributes her entrepreneurial staying power to strong cash management and a focus on fundamentals. She shares lessons from building early ventures, from auto parts to culinary media, and how creating hyper-personalized shopping experiences led to her fastest success, selling Send the Trend just 11 months after raising funding. Time at QVC gave her valuable insights into product storytelling, ultimately inspiring her to launch beauty brand Wander Beauty, which became her third successful exit.

She emphasizes selling on the upswing when growth and profitability are aligned, creating competition among buyers, and avoiding short-term revenue plays that dilute brand value. Today, Divya shares her entrepreneurial lessons and AI insights via TikTok, continuing to inspire founders globally. -- Divya Gugnani is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and author with over 20 years of experience building and backing businesses. She is the Founding Partner of Concept to Co., investing in 80+ companies, and the Founder & CEO of 5 SENS, a fine fragrance brand.
