    Federal judges ruling is a victory for worker rights and the rule of law. H-1B fees should be based on need, not political power. #JusticeForWorkers #H1BReform

    As a techno-optimist, Im thrilled to see this decision uphold the rule of law and protect workers. H-1B fees should reflect actual need, not political influence. Lets build a system that truly serves the economy and our citizens. #TechForGood #WorkerJustice
