New York City has released more than 170,000 pages of previously undisclosed records about air quality following the September 11, 2001, attacks, showing city officials at the time knew conditions around Ground Zero were unsafe to breathe despite repeated assurances to the public.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the release at a news conference Tuesday.
“As the years pass and the human toll grows, we reckon with the cost of September 11th whenever another New Yorker is stolen from us too soon,” Mamdani said. “Now, close to 25 years later, more people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than were killed on the day itself.”
At least 140,000 people from all 50 states have enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program, and 49,000 have been diagnosed with certified WTC-related cancers, according to the 9/11 Memorial. Mamdani said Tuesday that more people are eligible for assistance than are currently enrolled, including residents who lived near the site but have not received outreach and those who live outside of New York.
I’d like to vote for amending the Constitution so that non-US-born citizens can become president so he can run for office.
I get it, but i honestly think that a big reason the establishment didn’t come at him harder was that he wasn’t a threat to most establishment careers.
If he’d have been US-born, i think they’d have put more effort into coming for his reputation.
The DNC running a whole ass 3rd party spoiler candidate wasn’t coming for him?
Replace First-past-the-post voting, let the people vote how they want. Tired of these cowards gatekeeping us from having real options.
“More effort” isn’t “didn’t come for him”
Think about how much airtime national news outlets have been giving to El Sayed being friends with Hasan Piker, vs those dumb placards that Nepo baby running against Mamdani had (i forget the name).
Probably tens of millions of dollars in just anchor-person salary spent on talking nonsense on El Sayed and his ethnicity, vs making a poster with skin and beard darkening (of Zohran).
Honestly i thought they’d just be waiting, sharpening their knives so they could just tie up everything he tried to do as Mayor and then use him as an example of the failures of socialism.
But yeah all quiet on that front so far.
Then you’d get Musk and the rest running, too.
Renames country and everything in it to “X”
Entire world’s missiles target the country by default. 😬
Mamdani/Mangione 2032
We can’t even get a woman elected you think an immigrant would ever have a chance?
Arnold Schwarzenegger could probably win
Yes.
If we’ve learned anything from Trump, it’s that a president doesn’t need to fit a specific mould. He’s a billionaire from NYC, yet look at his core supporters. If a wealthy orange pedo from NYC can get the rural Alabama vote, Mamdani could get any vote
Hillary and Kamala both ran dogshit campaigns. They didn’t lose because Americans are sexist (not that that helped). They lost because they wasted their money on tv adds and had fuck all ground game, they had a shitty platform that appealed to no one, and because the DNC sabotaged better candidates.
So yes, I do think an immigrant with charisma and a platform and a modern campaign strategy would win.
They also lost because they are corporate Democrats and people are seeing the game.
No real punishments issued to any Republicans from Democrats
No “fight” in them, they always lose on some technicality
Kamala will laugh and joke and touch elbows with the lowest of pedophile protectors when she thinks she is not on camera.
Every chance they get to fight MAGA with the progressive left, they choose to attack the LEFT
Hakeem Jeffries just had a secret meeting with Jared Kushner to discuss, in Hakeem’s “view”, affordability.
Biden appointed a pedophile party member to “punish” the alpha pedophile for a COUP, AND THEY WOULDNT DO IT
HOW MANY SPECIAL PROSECUTORS HAVE WE HAD THAT LED TO NOTHING?
HOW MANY CORPORATE DEMOCRATS ARE ACTUALLY JUST PAID FOREIGN AGENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT IS OCCUPYING US?
THIS MAKES THEM PEDOPHILE PROTECTONG TRAITORS AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO PEDOPHILIC TRAITORS
NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE WITH THE ISRAELIS AND CORPORATIONS IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING.
Just say you support Republicans already and fuck off
Are you afraid that if people were free to transfer their vote if their first choice didn’t win, that the democrats wouldnt be able to compete on a even playing field?
Try checking my comment history, numbnuts.
Just say you are an Israeli shill
I second this, if Trump can wipe his ass with the constitution then fuck it throw it out it worthless. He runs for president I donate, knock doors get as many signatures required to get him elected as president.
Regardless of Trump, I don’t see the big deal with being born in the US. Mamdani is doing amazing things for NYC. Why is that okay but not the nation itself?
It all boils down to a paranoia that happened early on that a prez might give USA back to the British
But what about our precious and unassailable “checks and balances”?
You misspelled cheques and balance books, and those are still just as much a core part of American politics as ever, I’ve heard America is for sale, and you can get a good deal on it.
Honestly, probably just security clearance. We already don’t let people who are a citizen of another nation have access to certain info or industry.
Yeah that only applies to non-oligarchs. Elon Musk has and has direct control of vital US military assets for which he can turn on and off at a whim which he did to AID RUSSIA…during Biden’s administration. I remember some reporter asked about revoking his clearance and nationalising those assets and they were just like “naaah we ain’t doing that.” They acted as if Musk was exercising his sacred god given rights when he cut those drones of and how dare we puny creatures question those rights.
And Netanyahu, a foreign head of state can apparently just come and go as he pleases when it comes to “top secret” war rooms.
So yeah it’s a joke. Security clearances, treason charges, those are for little people.
