@ABC Doesn't really matter what Trump does or doesn't do, because in November, we're going to vote Democratic, to take back the House and maybe the Senate. And when a Democrat is elected president in '28, Trump will have to leave the White House in perfect condition.
Here's what a local grassroots group there, Langrune en Commun, said about Hegseth: "This individual holds values contrary to democracy, human rights, and peace" and that this comes out in what they say are his "numerous anti-European remarks," "warlike statements," "and his American supremacist remarks." Many Americans would no doubt agree. Before he got there, the group said his visit should be cancelled.
@RpsAgainstTrump Not sure if the subject of war has come up or will come up in this Space, but this is happening now for anyone interested.

@theliamnissan For too long, Trump has chiseled America and Americans to take what he wants. Now it's our turn to start chiseling off his name from history.
@krassenstein Democrats show masculinity by telling Trump he has always lied about the 2020 election being stolen and about his false claims of cheating in elections; by condemning Trump for verbally abusing women reporters; by telling Trump he doesn't care about people paying high prices.
@michaelt5656 I'm a former Nikki Haley voter now re-registered TFN as Democratic. Just voted Democratic in our California primary! I know many Republicans who oppose Trump and MAGA. At least 1 group that holds many Spaces here on X which you might think of joining is "New American Center."
@factpostnews One black job was held for 8 years by President Barack Obama. And personally, I'd like to see a half-Jamaican half-Indian woman hold that job from 2029 through at least 2033.
@kaitlancollins@kpolantz@HBRabinowitz Regarding Trump's verbal abuse and alleged harassment of Kaitlan (and other women reporters), @RepJeffries and @SenSchumer, when the Democrats take back Congress, it should pass a censure resolution condemning Trump's bad conduct. Or mention these actions if he's impeached.
@MSNOWNews The House passed a war powers resolution ordering President Trump to end the war with Iran, and good news, he's obeying the Democrats! CNBC says "Trump is reluctant to resume full-scale war with Iran," according to the Wall Street Journal. Democrats owned Trump!
@CBSNews He's a good man. Many Republicans are talking about how to take back their party from Trump and MAGA. I think it will happen. However, I will continue to vote Democratic. I think all should vote Democratic TFN to reverse Trump's lawlessness and corruption.
@ABC He's just making it worse! If he was smart, he'd stop involving himself and let the NONpartisan congressional commission America 250 handle it. But the November elections are coming soon, hopefully with more Democratic wins so we can try to limit Trump's craziness.
@WhiteHouse This is clear proof that Trump has failed to Make America Great Again--when established music artists don't want to be part of his events for the 4th of July. Trump has failed, and he won't admit it. What's the old saying: if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
@whatkamisays I agree with you. Trump is misusing our tax dollars. I believe he's responsible to some extent for the genocide in Gaza. And of course he's responsible for his illegal war in Iran and the killings there, including the girls who were killed in the bombing of at least one school.
Laura, in your clip, President Reagan factually said the White House is "everybody's house." In that context, President Trump has been destroying "everybody's house." Destroying the East Wing for his ballroom that nobody wants, except him. The Rose Garden, now a concrete patio. Setting up a 5,000-seat arena in front for his UFC event. We Democrats are just like everybody else in loving America! But as to the Trump administration's plans for the 4th, we suspect it will be partisan. Trump will give a speech; we know he's been partisan and lies frequently. There will apparently be other speeches. MAHA. Faith and religion. All put on by a group backed by Trump and his administration. I'm a Democrat; I love America; and this is my flag, our flag.
How partisan might Trump's July 4th events in Washington D.C. be? So far I've found:
--The White House says Donald Trump will give a keynote speech on July 4th on the National Mall.
--The freedom250 website also says there will be "major speeches."
--At the Great American State Fair (where the musical acts were going to perform) on the National Mall June 25-July 10, there are going to be speakers, as well as what organizer say are nationally-recognized health and wellness leaders (MAHA included).
--Daily themes at the Fair will include "Faith, Values, and Inspiration."
--The White House Task Force on Celebrating America's 250th Birthday (Task Force 250) has President Trump as its Chair. Vice Chair is Vice President Vance. Task Force 250 members include Trump's top staff: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and on and on. "Task Force 250 shall coordinate with the executive departments and agencies to plan, organize, and execute" the celebration.
