@StefWKight @SenatorMenendez @welcomeus @cecmunoz @NazaninSAsh .@SenatorMenendez: "I truly believe that reconciliation is the only pathway...toward some type of status for undocumented immigrants in the country...without reconciliation and without Republican support in a evenly divided Senate, I don't see how that pathway would be possible." Image
@StefWKight @SenatorMenendez @welcomeus @cecmunoz @NazaninSAsh .@SenatorMenendez: "I have taken a very clear position that a refugee is a refugee and you need to give them the opportunity to make their case under our asylum laws. It should not differentiate between an Afghan or a Haitian." Image
@StefWKight @SenatorMenendez @welcomeus @cecmunoz @NazaninSAsh .@NazaninSAsh:"I think the two biggest challenges are housing and staffing, everything from making sure that refugees get a warm welcome at the airport, making sure that their apartments are set up...making sure that there is someone to help them navigate a very new environment."

Trump is the heart, soul and undisputed leader of the Republican Party and will easily win the nomination if he wants it, the polls make unmistakably clear. trib.al/8eLtuMg
It's not just idle chatter. Trump is spending much of his time thinking about politics, holding calls with his political team and surveying polling.

While Ron DeSantis and Mike Pompeo are seen as potential challengers, Trump's most likely opponent is Mike Pence, who — we're told — has no plans to defer to his former boss. axios.com/trump-2024-run…

💻📱🎮 RACE AND TECHNOLOGY IN AMERICA (🧵)

The technology industry is famously determined to change the world — but its efforts to diversify its workforce and remove bias from its products haven't changed nearly enough.
axios.com/race-and-techn…
The tech industry likes to cast its failure to diversify as a "pipeline problem" — one that would vanish if only more such people studied tech skills and entered the field.

But fixing the pipeline won't solve tech's race problem.
axios.com/fixing-pipelin…
The hard truth is that filling up the pipeline won't help, as long as employees keep quitting their jobs, being forced out or leaving the industry.

Critics say these work environments are rife with harassment and discrimination.

WATCH: Axios managing editor for politics @margarettalev and future correspondent @bryanrwalsh discuss how advanced technologies are revolutionizing the military landscape, feat. @SenMarkKelly (D-Ariz.) and @PalantirTech's @DougPhilippone.

trib.al/XzEZm7l
@margarettalev @bryanrwalsh @SenMarkKelly @PalantirTech @DougPhilippone .@SenMarkKelly on using innovative technologies in the military: "I think you should think about this of us taking science, research, innovation, and bringing it to the warfighter, to the marine, to the airmen, the sailor and the soldier so we can maintain that superiority."
@margarettalev @bryanrwalsh @SenMarkKelly @PalantirTech @DougPhilippone .@SenMarkKelly on considering the ethical risks of using AI in warfare: "I think in general, we want to keep the person in the loop to try to avoid the mistakes. When we're making life and death situations, I don't think we want to turn that over to artificial intelligence."
