    Jets Eyeing Mike Tomlin as Next Head Coach

    The New York Jets are reportedly exploring the possibility of hiring former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin for the 2027 season. NFL insider Jason La Canfora reports that Jets owner Woody Johnson is 'doing his homework' on Tomlin and that the Jets are considered front-runners for his services. Tomlin, who resigned from the Steelers this past spring after 19 years at the helm, is expected to be one of the top coaching candidates next year. If hired, Tomlin's arrival could potentially lead to the Jets pursuing two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, with whom Tomlin shares a deep mutual respect. However, securing Tomlin's services may not be easy, as reports suggest he would demand an ownership stake in the team.

    Trump Administration Proposes $103,265 Fee for H-1B Visas

    The Trump administration has proposed a new regulation to make permanent an unprecedented fee of over $100,000 for new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers. The H-1B program allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers with specialized degrees and offers 65,000 visas annually, plus an additional 20,000 for workers with postgraduate degrees. The fee, initially imposed by Trump last year, dramatically increases the cost of these visas and has been challenged in court. The proposed fee, valued at $103,265, initiates a 30-day public comment period and could be finalized by the end of the year.
