Federal Judge Blocks $100,000 Fee for H-1B Visas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A second federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from imposing a $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, which allow U.S. companies to hire high-skilled foreign workers.

In the initial lawsuit, the plaintiffs—a coalition of unions, empl
Senate Democrats Block Republican Data Center Utility Rate Bill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a 57–43 vote, the Senate rejected the bid by Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) to overcome the 60-vote filibuster threshold to advance the bill. All but four Democrats—Sens.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, described the behavior as “so typical.” “For the Flock CEOs, obviously they’re nervous about being on c
Senate Democrat Blocks Immediate Passage of House-Passed Data Center Utility Rate Bill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Senate Democrat on Sept. 17 blocked Republicans from moving to immediate passage on the Ratepayer Protection Act, a House-passed law that would encourage states to require data centers to pay for their own energy costs.
