This week on The Qasim Rashid Show, I speak with First Deputy Mayor of New York City, Dean Fuleihan, on how he and Mayor Elect Mamdani will deliver on their promise of affordability. I also took a trip to LA to talk politics with Dara Starr Tucker, from Epstein files to poverty in the U.S. Thank you all for tuning in.

On Episode 197 of The Qasim Rashid Show: This week Let’s Address This was on the road! I had the privilege to interview newly minted First Deput...

BREAKING: Senate unanimously passes bill to release Epstein files, sending it to Trump's desk to sign. House passed it 427-1 Senate passed it unanimously

DOJ is apparently ready to pay $50 MILLION in restitution to QAnon conspiracy theorist and convicted felon Michael Flynn. Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI and committed arguably treasonous acts. But he gets $50M. White supremacy is when a convicted white man can get restitution for committing crimes but innocent Latino Americans are getting tortured and deported on the mere accusation that they're undocumented. Horrific.

So to be clear: •Megyn Kelly is arguing that raping a 15 year old child isn't really rape •Former Rep Matt Gaetz raped a homeless 17-year-old child by exploiting her healthcare •South Carolina Judge James Gosnell has been caught with possession of child pornography. •Oklahoma Judge Susan Worthington freed a man named Jesse Butler despite video evidence of him raping 2 teen girls, nearly choking them to death. But we should fear Trans people & Immigrants?🧐 Every MAGA Accusation Is A Confession.

I'm a lawyer. I've written several books, half a dozen academic law review articles, I don't even know how many legal briefs, and literally thousands of OpEds. I say all this to show that I know the English language fairly well. And yet, I did not know until this week of the word "hebephilia," and I'm pretty dang sure it's because no one I've ever associated with has tried to "umm akshully" pedophilia by explaining how hebephilia is in any way "better." My God why is this even a discussion. smh

Matt Gaetz raped a 17 year old child after exploiting her healthcare needs for money and this is how the NY Times is framing it. "ended up having sex with powerful men" Literally whitewashing child rape. Corporate media is dead. Stop subscribing to it. This is beyond saving.

DOJ estimates that Epstein and his fellow child abusers trafficked at least 200 children. Meanwhile, experts estimate that in 2025, roughly 2600 minors were forced into a child marriage in the United States. That’s some 50 minors every week, or about seven per day, every single day of the year. And unless we act immediately, that trend is expected to continue in 2026. Here’s how bad the situation is, and what we can do to stop it.

Epstein Files Reminder: USA has a child marriage epidemic—it's even worse than you think

Despite more than 300,000 documented child marriages since 2000, Republicans are fighting to keep it that way

Remember that Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley Piyush Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal Raphael Cruz ran as Ted Cruz Meanwhile—Barack Obama ran as Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani ran as Zohran Mamdani, and MAGAs accuse Dems of identity politics Every MAGA accusation is a confession

UPDATE: Now that 8 Senate Dems folded to Trump—Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds. What? Moving goal posts? Lucy and the football? Who Could Have Seen This Coming?? This is why you don't back down from a bully! My God! My kingdom for a spine for Democrats.

The Wash Post Editorial Board published one of the most reckless pieces of “journalism” I’ve ever seen, attacking NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani. The article is replete with disinformation, half truths, & anti-Black racism. I dismantle each of their claims—with receipts. Please read and share.

Rebuttal to Washington Post Editorial Board

The paper that warned "Democracy Dies in Darkness" is killing democracy in broad daylight
