Hi Friends,

The annual statutory cap for H-1B visas is 65,000, plus an additional 20,000 visas for foreign professionals who have a master's degree or doctorate from a US institution.

The majority of H1-B’s seem to, at least at the moment, go to recipients in India.

Join Professor Jeffrey Sachs and award-winning journalist Annie Jacobsen as they discuss Jacobsen’s chilling and rigorous depiction of nuclear war in her groundbreaking book, Nuclear War: A Scenario. With meticulous research and interviews with military and political insiders, Jacobsen takes us through a riveting, heart-pounding, second-by-second scenario of a world-ending nuclear war. From the technological aspects of nuclear weapons and missile defense systems to the horrifying and total incapacity of modern society to survive a nuclear onslaught, Jacobsen depicts the razor-thin margin separating us from catastrophe.

Trump's Call for Palestinian Displacement

• President Donald Trump has publicly called for the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, suggesting that Egypt and Jordan should accept Palestinian refugees.
• During a discussion, Trump mentioned the potential relocation of approximately 1.5 million people from Gaza, indicating that the situation is dire and requires intervention.
• The speaker highlights that Trump's figure of 1.5 million exceeds the casualty numbers reported by corporate media, suggesting misinformation regarding the actual death toll in Gaza.
• The speaker argues that the media is downplaying the severity of the situation to avoid labeling it as genocide, which Trump’s comments seem to contradict.

Charlamagne Tha God on why canceling rappers who performed at Trump's inauguration is misplaced anger and how Democrats should move forward by following the GOP's model of staying mad.

During the Second World War, American animation companies such as Disney and Warner Bros. made propaganda cartoons for the war effort. One of the most well-known examples is "Der Fuehrer's Face", featuring the famous Disney mascot Donald Duck. It satirises the authoritarianism of Hitler's Third Reich by showing Donald having a nightmare about manufacturing shells for the Nazi army, and contrasts it with the "freedom" of the United States when he eventually does wake up from it.

I’m always impressed with how Frontline integrates super recent events and footage in their episodes.
