BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani STUNS New Yorkers by releasing hidden 9/11 records which show that Republican officials misled them about the air quality near Ground Zero.
Meanwhile, Trump is lying about having helped with rescue efforts on that day...
"On Friday, we will mark 25 years since the worst tragedy to ever befall our city. The darkest day New York City has ever known," Mamdani said at a press conference. "And yet the devastating truth is that the suffering did not end once the smoke cleared and the dust settled."
"For so many New Yorkers who lived or worked or studied near Ground Zero, and for the thousands of others who worked on the pile, recovering those we lost and clearing the rubble, that was only the beginning of years of hardship and illness that would follow," he continued.
Mamdani's administration has now released over 170,000 pages of documents that were previously hidden from the public which show that city officials at the time (under Mayor Rudy Giuliani) knew that the air near Ground Zero was unsafe to breathe. At the same time, those officials were publicly lying about the issue and telling New Yorkers that there was nothing to worry about.
"Thousands of ironworkers and firefighters and office workers and so many more remember September 11th not just each time we mark the passage of another year, but as Congressman Nadler once said, each time they take a struggling breath, each time they have to swallow a pill, each time another chemo dose is administered," Mamdani went on. "And 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."
"Now, close to 25 years later, more people have died from 9-11 related illnesses than were killed on the day itself," he said. "It would be one thing if government had stood alongside survivors and provided them with everything they needed at every step of the way. And yet we know that could not be further from what actually happened."
"People got sick because the leaders they trusted lied and told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air," he continued. "And then when they began to contend with the symptoms of the illnesses that followed, the government that had not hesitated to send them into harm's way was nowhere to be found."
This is what real leadership and accountability look like. Mamdani is laser-focused on doing what's right for his city, which in this case means revealing the full unvarnished truth. The MAGA agitators who have been loudly demanding that he stay away from the 9/11 memorial events should be ashamed of themselves.

#BREAKING: Talarico: โTheย president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus. You wanna know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare while cutting taxes for billionaires. You know what insults Jesus? Deporting the stranger and separating babies from their mothers. You know what insults Jesus? Bombing innocent school children in #Iran and sending our brave men and women off to die in another forever war. You know what insults Jesus? Covering up the #Epstein files and then refusing to prosecute a single person in them.โ๐ณ
This is the statement no Western leader has had the spine to deliver. It is the statement NO president of the United States would EVER make and that my friends is an indictment of the political moral decay that is the cancer eating America alive.
This is the statement that prompted the Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Danny Danon to suggest that Mayor Mamdani should be arrested for having the audacity to make.
To hear truth articulated in the way Mamdani expressed it, is not only courageous, it sets the gold standard for speaking truth to power and I salute him.
