Co-authored a New York Times op-ed with Warren Buffett and Sheldon Adelson calling for comprehensive immigration reform
In a rare display of cross-partisan consensus, Bill Gates joined Warren Buffett and Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson in a New York Times op-ed pressuring Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Writing shortly after House Republicans refused to act on the Senate's bipartisan S.744 bill (which had passed 68–32), the three argued that it 'borders on insanity to train intelligent and motivated people in our universities — often subsidising their education — and then to deport them when they graduate.' The op-ed covered both skilled immigration reform and a path to citizenship for undocumented long-term residents, calling the failure to legislate 'a national disgrace.'

Gates Foundation Announces External Governance Review and 20% Staff Reduction Amid Epstein Fallout
In April 2026, the Gates Foundation announced an independent external governance review led by former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and two former US federal judges, tasked with examining Foundation oversight structures, donor transparency, and executive conduct policies. The Foundation simultaneously announced a 20% reduction in its global workforce — approximately 500 positions — citing the need to streamline operations. Foundation CEO Mark Suzman described the reductions as part of a 'strategic reset' unrelated to the Epstein scrutiny; critics and former staff disputed that characterization.

US House Oversight Committee Issues Subpoena to Gates Foundation Over Epstein-Era Documents
In March 2026, the US House Committee on Oversight and Accountability issued a subpoena to the Gates Foundation demanding internal communications, grant records, and financial documents related to Jeffrey Epstein spanning 2010–2019. The committee gave the Foundation a 30-day compliance deadline. A Gates Foundation spokesperson said the organization was 'reviewing the request and committed to cooperating fully with legitimate oversight.' The subpoena focused specifically on whether Foundation grant decisions were influenced by Epstein and whether donor privacy obligations had been used to shield Epstein's involvement.
