Over 700,000 TPS recipients lose legal status by the end of 2025, including 550,000 who are legally working. TPS recipients contribute over $36B in annual GDP. Withdrawing their work authorization could add to labor shortages in construction, cleaning, and hospitality, especially in FL, TX, NY
Good stuff here from @gregsargent.bsky.social and @vermontgmg.bsky.social —>

NEW @fwd.us RESEARCH REPORT: Announced #immigration policies will negatively impact millions of Americans by separating families and raising the costs of goods and services by $2,150 more each year, according to new @fwd.us estimates. 🧵
Talkin’ and whiteboardin’ on the teevee
Great convo. As the call of duty: modern eugenics meme-enforcement awfulness goes from city to city, it’s great @chrislhayes.bsky.social brought on Memo Torres from @lataco.bsky.social to talk about what is still happening in LA and what to learn.

WATCH: FWD.us President @thetoddschulte.bsky.social on Bloomberg TV explains why the H-1B program strengthens the U.S. economy, fills critical workforce gaps, and helps American businesses stay competitive.
The new $100,000 H-1B fee would devastate innovation and harm American workers.
Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."
ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.
David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.
Here's their story.
Hmmm
#H1B reform should focus on increasing our ability to win the global race for talent by modernizing the program. "There are things we can do to reform and improve these visa categories,” @thetoddschulte.bsky.social shared via @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/b...
"In the short term, this wrongheaded decision will undoubtedly propel Trump’s invasion of major cities, and it will constrain the power of the lower federal courts—the only branch of the federal government not yet fully controlled by the President—from upholding the rule of law...." 3/x
