Each year on 9/11, the podcast What Was That Like? talks to 9/11 survivors and releases a heartfelt and important commemorative episode. I wasn’t a “survivor,” just a helpless 19-year-old witness, but host Scott asked me to record my story for the Listener Story at the end of the episode.

A nuclear deal for the Saudis. A media blackout for Kushner’s corruption.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration signed a 30-year nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that paves the way for the kingdom to enrich its own uranium.
