NYC Marks 9/11's 25th Anniversary with Rare Bipartisan Unity

At the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, New York City's first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, faced partisan pressure but the memorial at Ground Zero unfolded with solemn unity: Giuliani and Mamdani exchanged a handshake, Cuomo mingled with rivals, and national leaders stood together as names of the victims were read. The ceremony highlighted unity, while outside, a far-right rally and counter-protests underscored ongoing political tensions and a warning from Cuomo about evolving threats.

Ground Zero 9/11 Memorial Faces Partisan Tug Amid NYC Mayoral Attendance

New York City’s 9/11 memorial plans to proceed with Mayor Zohran Mamdani in attendance, drawing backlash from Republicans including Rudy Giuliani and George Pataki who urge him to stay away. Mamdani defends attending to honor victims as the city marks the 25th anniversary, while his administration’s release of more than 170,000 documents alleging officials misled the public about air quality at Ground Zero fuels the controversy. Some families may skip events amid calls to center remembrance and unity, though Vice President JD Vance is set to attend and the ceremony will proceed with the reading of names and moments of silence.

Trump’s ‘Pardon Economy’ Blooms With Controversial Beneficiaries

A TPM Weekender piece ranks Trump’s post-2020 clemencies, arguing a rising ‘pardon economy’ under Trump II loosened traditional safeguards and rewarded allies, donors, and well-connected figures—from former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández to Rudy Giuliani, Binance’s Changpeng Zhao, Rod Blagojevich, Rep. Henry Cuellar, and others—through a streamlined pardon process led by Ed Martin. The article also notes Boosie Badazz pursuing arbitration over a failed pardon push and critiques the broader political incentives behind these controversial clemencies.

Trump Pardons Giuliani and Others in 2020 Election Overturn Efforts

President Donald Trump has issued full pardons to Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and others involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, primarily symbolically as these pardons only apply to federal charges, which none of the recipients faced. The pardons aim to promote national reconciliation but do not impact state charges or Giuliani's disbarment and legal issues. Experts warn these pardons could undermine future election integrity efforts.
