Qasim Rashid, Esq.

A clip of my debate on Palestine with Joe Walsh—a former Republican Congressman (now newly minted Democrat) who I have bumped heads with in the past, but we're working on building bridges.

Full video/debate here: www.qasimrashid.com/p/zohran-mam...

being from Illinois I know Joe Walsh well - and to see him wake up and go from 100%+ tea party to coming around on reality - takes a big man to say he was wrong.

Here's the thing -- people are watching and learning. He may not be convinced, but thousands have already watched and I'm getting notes from people thanking me for debunking misinformation that they previously believed. It's not about him, it's about reaching the masses to speak up.

Zohran Mamdani, Establishment Democrats, and Israel & Palestine A recording from Qasim Rashid, Esq. and Joe Walsh's live video

My (respectful) but direct debate/dialogue with former Republican Congressman (now a Democrat) Joe Walsh on Zohran Mamdani, Establishment Democrats, and Israel and Palestine
www.qasimrashid.com/p/zohran-mam...

With these new damning revelations, establishment democrats have a final choice to make: Get behind the Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor. Or let everyone know you’re supporting the candidate Trump wants.

It’s that binary. These are the choices. We’re watching.

At this point, anything short of a loud, immediate, and full fledged endorsement of Zohran Mamdani is an admission by establishment Democrats that they prefer Trump's candidate over the people's nominated candidate

The fact that Est Dems are still silent is why the Dem Party has a 26% approval

2/2

It was bad enough that establishment Democrats were refusing to endorse the Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor.

Today drops the news that Donald Trump has been directly coordinating with Andrew Cuomo to help him win the election, and Cuomo has been taking his calls and advice.

1/2

Reupping this viral tweet from 4 years ago today, sadly relevant once more as RFK Jr cancels $500M in funding for mRNA vaccines for diseases like Covid.

I truly fear for our future public health. This is just terrible. This is sabotage. Smh.

This is what the vast VAST majority of comments from Jewish readers look like. Thoughtful, compassionate, and with conviction for justice and against the genocide of Palestinians.

Yep, agreed, he's literally the Dem nominee because of support from voters. Which is why its especially absurd that Dem leadership won't get on board.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

Interview with DNC Chair Ken Martin & Texas State Rep Venton Jones Chair Martin, "We're not bringing a pencil to a knife fight, we're bringing a gun to a knife fight."

During my brief but substance driven interviews, I made clear that we need meaningful progress. I pointed out that the Dem party’s national approval is an abysmal 26%.

Here’s how TX Rep Jones and DNC Chair Ken Martin responded to my questions:

www.qasimrashid.com/p/interview-...

Warren should have pointed out that her state, Massachusetts, raised taxes on millionaires not by 2% like Mamdani wants, but by 4%. The result? Massachusetts saw a 39% INCREASE in millionaires, a drop in poverty, & a growing economy.

Stop trusting billionaires. Start taxing them outta existence.

Texas Dems Give America a Blueprint to Save Democracy The Democratic Party needs to stop trying to save itself and start trying to save democracy itself—TX Dems show the way

Texas State Rep James Talarico said it best, “We are not fighting for the Democratic Party, we are fighting for the democratic process.”

Texas MAGAs are igniting a national crisis of apartheid by ballot. And TX Dems are setting the example on how to fight back.

“…Texas Democrats walking out isn’t a political stunt—it’s a national alarm.

They are showing what courage looks like in the face of fascism.”

The Trump State Department is considering to require visitors to the USA to post a $15,000 bond to get a tourist visa.

International tourism is a $220B annual industry and supports 18M jobs.

If enacted, this $15K fee will single-handedly destroy tourism & devastate tens of millions of Americans.

Trump says he'll withhold disaster funding for states & cities who boycott Israel.

Boycott is peaceful protest—a Constitutionally protected 1A right. To ban it is to invite violence, as JFK warned when he said, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

2009—Cory Booker endorses Michael Bloomberg for Mayor & Bloomberg wasn’t even then a Democrat

2021—Cory Booker endorses Eric Adams for mayor

2025—Cory Booker refuses to endorse Zohran Mamdani, claiming he stays out of NYC politics

The hypocrisy from corporate Democrats is staggering & cowardly.

Slave-catcher energy here

My goodness is Adams pathetic in his attempts to lie and erase Jewish people.

Btw which corporate media outlet will have the integrity and courage to call out this erasure of Jewish people for the antisemitism that it is? Anyone??

Great interview by Qasim Rashid!
