## Resource

Standing blocks from Ground Zero on the week of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Paul Rieckhoff opens with the news dropped by New York City Mayor Mamdani: thousands of documents confirming what 9/11 first responders have known and shouted about for 25 years. The government and city leadership were not truthful about the toxins, the danger, or the risk. As a first responder himself, Paul is not surprised — he's furious about the lack of action. He names the names Mamdani wouldn't: Giuliani, Bloomberg, Adams. If anyone lied, and it can be proven, they belong in jail. And every politician who plans to show up Friday for a photo op? Stay the hell away. Let it be about the survivors and the heroes.
