    Bruce Fuller for the San Jose Mercury News on whether
    NeverBackDown.ORG's Ken Cuccinelli and Steve Cortes advised Casey
    DeSantis to dispatch Ron to David McIntosh's ClubForGrowth.ORG to
    beg for permission to deploy the likes of Michelle Malkin onto
    Lachlan Murdoch's FoxNews.COM campaign stump to impeach Donald
    Trump for failing to convert the Cheap Labor Lobby's H-1B scab
    worker import quota lottery to a wage ordered queue: <URL:https://www.mercurynews.com/2025/06/07/opinion-trumps-attack-on-international-students-threatens-techs-workforce/>
    | Even though Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan,
    | have pledged $500 million to Harvard for research into "natural and
    | artificial intelligence," they have said nothing publicly about
    | Trump's attacks on the university, which is their alma mater.
    |
    | And what about Tim Cook? Apple's CEO has cozied up to the president
    | since his first term. But Trump turned on Cook last month,
    | threatening a 25% tariff on iPhones, assembled in India, which keeps
    | prices low for consumers. Rather than standing up to Trump, Cook
    | keeps bending to political winds.
    |
    | So, how might Silicon Valley leaders balance realpolitik with
    | protecting a workforce unmatched in creative genius and
    | productivity?

    Has Trump ordered Susie Wiles to release Trump's MAGA marketing
    research gathered by Wiles (and Bill Stepien before her (and Brad
    Parscale before him)) with Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance and do legacy
    American proles still dream of sending their sons and daughters to
    join the elite circle via UCB.EDU and Harvard.EDU?
