The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

“For years, conservatives loudly complained that government spending was opaque, that their hard-earned dollars were being secretly misused, and that the government definitely did not need all the money it was taking from them.

That was always hyperbole … until now.”

Leader Jeffries: The Trump administration found $40 billion to bail out Argentina, but can't find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits. And Trump is demolishing parts of the White House so he can construct some gaudy ballroom, but they can't find a moment to talk with Democrats

Unless absolute proof or evidence can be provided by the US then Venezuela, and Colombia, must consider these incidents acts of war against their countries. Trump is a war criminal unless he can prove otherwise. Where are the testimonies of the two rescued survivors?
