Mayor Adams is wearing his “in god we trust” American flag shirt once again. But this time it’s written in Italian. He says it’s Spanish to honor the victims of a nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican republic last week.

he’s having a great game, but i still can’t believe that thibaut courtois died on that peloton bike in the sex and the city reboot

NEW—Mahmoud Khalil's wife: "I was born & raised in the Midwest. My parents came here from Syria…They believed living in the US would bring a sense of safety & stability.
