@lisey_ann@grok After business/tech pushback, what did spokesperson Zach Kahler clarify/walk back on this to reporters? Have any mainstream media/primary sources covered this?
TRUMP ADMIN REFRAMES GREEN CARD RULES CHANGES?
The carve-out is clear: H-1B and L-1 are "dual intent" and largely spared.
The crackdown's real targets are F-1 students and tourists. And corporate America is prepping lawsuits.
The one pipeline no one is allowed to touch.
Note that the Trump admin has backed down on the recent Green Card rule change requiring Green Card applicants here on temporary visas to return to their home nations to apply.
Not shocked. They got massive pressure from Chamber of Commerce types, TechBros and the very strong
PRINT MEDIA IS DYING ONE BY ONE
CNN. CBS News. BBC. Washington Post. Sony Pictures.
Now the Minnesota Star Tribune Layoff (65 cut, 25 newsroom).
23 media companies tracked in 2026. 8,500+ jobs.
Publisher Steve Grove framed today's cuts as an AI-fueled "digital-first" pivot.
After immediate blowback from businesses and attorneys, DHS/USCIS issued follow-up statements downplaying the scope and insisting it merely “restates longstanding law.”
THE U.S. HAS 3X MORE IMMIGRANTS THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH.
1 of 6 immigrants on the planet live here. No other major developed nation comes close.
The outcome is clear: the U.S. absorbs a disproportionate share of global migration & ~9/10 new jobs go to them right now.
UBER CEO THEN: AI WILL REPLACE 70-80% OF HUMAN WORK.
Today's layoffs in its People division? Claims not due to AI.
Or maybe, per the Bolt CEO last month, HR roles just aren't needed.
LAYOFF ALERT: UBER🚨
23% of its People division. HR, recruiters, talent acquisition, employee relations.
Uber says the cuts are "unrelated to AI." Their CEO said earlier this year that AI will replace 70 to 80% of human work.
$UBER trades 30% below its 52-week high.
WHY DOES THIS FEEL FAKE?
Openings just hit 7.62M, a two-year high. But that counts listings posted, not people hired.
ACTUAL HIRES fell to 5.12M and have dropped every year since 2022.
Smoke and mirrors. Openings don't matter. Ghost jobs. 83%+ of jobs to foreign-born...
Context on Bolt CEO laying off nearly his entire HR team last month:
"We had an HR team, and that HR team was creating problems that didn't exist. Those problems disappeared when I let them go."

@silverhoard1 This is 100% a global problem. Unsustainable migration is straining Europe/Canada too.
US population is ~4% of world but hosts 17.2%: that is disproportionate.
That said, countries like Germany & Canada are now >20% foreign vs US ~15%.
Time for realistic policies everywhere.

@Cernovich Uhh and it’s hard to get retail to buy at a 1T MC when they think they’re investing in their replacement. Watching his 180 has been comical.

ALTMAN COMPLETELY FLIPS AI NARRATIVE AS HE PLANS IPO
Then: Sam Altman warned AI would wipe out entire job categories.
Now: he says companies blaming AI for layoffs are adopting AI the least.
What changed? OpenAI is racing to go public this year at up to $1 trillion+
Bingo.
Hiring freezes first.
Quits weaken second.
Openings get cancelled third.
Layoffs rise last.
Keep your eyes glued to the next few quarters of data.
The huge deviation was caused by a tightly clustered consensus getting blindsided by a volatile, concentrated openings surge in professional services and tiny firms.
But because hires fell 419k, quits stayed weak at 1.9%, and the biggest openings sectors did not actually hire,
GITLAB LAYOFF # CONFIRMED TODAY
14% of staff cut. 360 jobs.
Exiting 22 countries indefinitely.
All remote Indian jobs have curiously been removed from LinkedIn since our post called them out, but fresh listings still appear on NAUKRI, India's largest job board.
Interesting.
GITLAB ACTIVELY HIRING REMOTE INDIA ROLES WHILE ANNOUCING LAYOFFS
The CEO is writing essays on shifting to AI agents, but a quick search on LinkedIn is showing multiple open jobs in India.
Is this actually just another company using AI as an excuse in 2026?
Monitoring.
ORACLE LAYOFFS OFFICIALLY BEGIN AMID COMPLAINTS OF TERRIBLE SEVERANCE TERMS
The 60 days of notice is up, and the first of the 30,000 are hitting the door. All will be out by June 15.
As per Time Magazine, one long-tenured employee lost approximately $1 million in restricted stock units (RSUs) that were just four months from vesting.
Oracle did not accelerate unvested RSUs for any departing worker; any shares that had not cleared their vesting date by the termination date were forfeited permanently, even when those grants had been issued as retention incentives or in lieu of salary increases. Stock compensation made up roughly 70% of that employee's total pay.
At least 90 laid-off employees organized and signed a public petition asking Oracle to match the terms of comparable layoffs at Meta, Microsoft, and Cloudflare.
Meta's package began at 16 weeks of base pay plus two weeks per year of service. Microsoft's voluntary retirement program, offered to eligible long-tenured employees, provided stock vesting for six months post-termination, a minimum of eight weeks' pay, and additional weeks based on seniority. Cloudflare, which cut more than 1,100 employees globally at roughly the same time, offered base pay through the end of 2026 plus full healthcare coverage and equity vesting through August 15.
Oracle responded by email: the terms were final. Four weeks of base pay for the first year of service, plus one additional week per year of tenure, capped at 26 weeks. All unvested options forfeited.
There is a lot more to the Oracle layoffs than what meets the eye.
Trump stood at the White House in January 2025 and said Stargate would create "100,000 American jobs almost immediately."
Larry Ellison was standing next to him.
This morning, Oracle -- not just a Stargate
