1) Probably the biggest political news of the week involved a pseudo-spat between the anti=H1B visa cadre in Team Trump (J.D. Vance most notably) and the pro-H1B faction led by Musk and Ramaswamy. Before anyone could get too worked up, Musk softened his stance and said the H1B program needed serious reform.
