A plan is being circulated by President Joe Biden’s administration to provide border crossers, subjected to former President Trump’s “Zero Tolerance” policy, with $450,000 reparations-style payouts that would exceed payments provided to American victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and American families of United States service members who die in combat.
Barack and Michelle Obama have acquired the 9/11-themed movie Worth, starring Michael Keaton, through their High Ground production company in partnership with Netflix, which will stream the movie later this year to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
After months of contentious debate and speaking directly with first responders, the Senate passed a bill Tuesday that ensured the 9/11 Victims’ Compensation Fund for those affected by the September 11, 2001 terror attacks will never run out of money.
NEW YORK (AP) — Comic Jon Stewart used his buddy Stephen Colbert’s late-night show to keep the heat on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for passage of legislation to replenish a victims’ fund for first responders to the 9/11 attacks.
Comedian and former host of The Daily Show Jon Stewart praised the Trump administration and implored Congress to support 9/11 first responders while on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on Monday.
The $7.3 billion 9/11 Victims’ Compensation Fund is not set to expire until 2020 but may run out of money even sooner, as survivors continue to battle long-term illness.
