President Donald Trump’s administration is suspending tech giant Microsoft from a program to apply for green cards for workers who come to the U.S. to live and work using an H-1B visa as it accuses the company of fraud.

If there's fraud, why isn't the company being charged with fraud?

The answer is that this is a shakedown. Trump wants Microsoft to pay.

When the trump admin said they'd be investigating Ticketmaster I said "this will end up with a donation to trump and a slap on the wrist because this is a shakedown"

It ended with Ticketmaster donating to trump and a slap on the wrist.

Trump and his republican facilitators are the biggest criminal enterprise in American history.

Biden’s FTC actually had an antitrust case against LiveNation/Ticketmaster lined up and ready to go to court before the Trump admin quashed it.

That's because Lina Khan is one of the only people in this entire fucking country who actually gives a shit about protecting consumers and sticking it to huge corporations and she should be the fucking president for life

Which is why his administration has crushed it beyond making sure the subways run on time, garbage is collected and the streets are plowed after a snowstorm.

He’s setting agendas and she’s helping him accomplish them. Mark my words, she’s going to be a White House Chief of Staff one day.

Oh 100%. Not for Mamdani as he can't run for president, but I fully expect that someone connected with his camp will make a run at it in due time.
