  2. Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 07-01-26

    I have not published "daily" Pook-Emu Bee links since June 23. But today is the start of a new month. Let us turn over a new leaf in July with the Pook-Emu Bee. 1. Nina Totenberg Sincerely Apologizes For An Inexplicable Error (Josh Blackman at The Volokh Conspiracy. June 30, 2026.) Her explanation for falsely reporting that Justice Alito was retiring makes no sense. But then again, even given her partisan impulses (noted by Mr. Blackman in the article), it is hard to figure what the game […]

Construction of jail in tony NYC nabe turns into potentially deadly ‘clown show’ with failling debris: records, locals (Nicole Rosenthal, Kevin Sheehan, and Katherine Donlevy for the New York Post. June 8, 2026.) Boerum Hill is "tony" but that particular stretch of it was not "tony" even before the monstrous jail construction project (not least because the new jail is […]

    Good. Trump's imposition of the exorbitant fees on certain work visas puts an unfair burden on companies, especially in certain industries (eg., tech & healthcare). And it compromises smaller businesses who will fare worse than larger ones with more means.

    Also, it's interesting that the judge called the imposition of those fees on #H1B work visas taxation, effectively making Trump's fees taxation without representation (via Congress).

  21. RE: flipboard.com/@npr/politics-v8

    Do U.S. voters realize the scale and cost of the 47th #POTUS's *drastic* #immigration "slow-walking"?

    This backlog is bigger than ALL FOUR YEARS of the 45th POTUS's term.

    It's stopped TONS of #science by removing work authorization from LOADS of #scientists who were ALREADY LEGALLY WORKING HERE FOR YEARS (e.g., when graduating Ph.D. #students or #postdocs have to transition to an H-1B #visa when OPT expires).

    We had to halt multiple #decisionScience projects when a Research Project Manager completed their doctorate. Why? Because #USCIS simply isn't processing certain #OPT applications — and #H1B processing is much slower than normal times. In the past year, the #UnitedStates multiplied this loss of #innovation and #productivity by HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS! And with no detectable benefit to #security, etc.

    Naturally, the highest-skilled foreign nationals are taking their skills to other countries, contributing to further #brainDrain from the #USA.

    Incredible waste and inefficiency.
