Qasim Rashid, Esq.I sat down with Dahlia Taha, Founding Director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council's First Amendment Center, to break down what the First Amendment actually says about religious freedom.

I’m laughing here as I rewatch the king of England speak to Congress. For him to tutor Congress on the checks and balances that are in our constitution and which this Congress ignores is really telling. Trump most likely didn’t listen or hear what the king said as he said it was great!
Trump and Hegseth must think Congress are for picturesque background but nothing more.
We are paying these men and women to represent us. Maybe we should think about what our dollars are paying for.

@QasimRashid Welcome to 1950 McCarthy Red Scare!!! There really is nothing new today except the suffocating speed that all those actions are happening.
The past will continue to repeat until we learn to read the signs and ACT. All of us knew there were inequities in our system: immigration long was spoken of and nothing was changed, healthcare was patched with the Obama patch we knew republicans Hated it…we didn’t do ANYTHING!
We can fight this regime. But we must act.
