Donald Trump’s great gift to the 209 year-old White House honors only the 11 states of the Confederacy by only having 11 stars above the eagle. What a disgrace!

President Trump says there's been another addition to the White House.

Last night, a permanent member of the UN Security Council killed a 5-year-old girl.

Today, it still holds its seat.

Russia’s aerial attack on Sumy also killed her mother and another civilian. Twenty-seven people were injured, including seven children.

The same company that managed logistics for Trump's January 6 rally is now overseeing his Great American State Fair after being awarded $68 million in taxpayer funds.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t belong — we are all Americans. We know that our country is great when our country is good — when we stand together, look out for our neighbors, and lift each other up.

Happy and safe #July4thWeekend. - NP

We have a neighbor in Baldwin Park who posts daily musings. This one made me laugh out loud.

Happy 3d of July!

Trump's so-called "Presidential Walk of Fame" was funded by taxpayers using money diverted from National Parks.

Trump has repeatedly claimed he paid for parts of the project himself, but a new report says his partisan West Wing exhibit cost taxpayers more than $1 million.

When he stood at Gettysburg and said, “Four score and seven years ago,” Lincoln pinned the beginnings of the country not in the writing of the Constitution, which had still not been transformed by the Civil War and Reconstruction, but in the Declaration of Independence, which proclaimed the values of equality, unalienable freedom, and democratic self-government. These values have been the driving force towards a more perfect Union.

In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸

Obama’s July 4 celebration is going to outdo Trump’s tired 250th version without even trying. I know which one I would rather attend.

📌 This event is the kickoff for the Obama Center's "You Are America" summer series.

Nothing says good old fashioned 4th of July American patriotism like flying to a speech in a grifted Qatari jet.

DOGE deletes itself on July 4th. It will be remembered as a hugely destructive failure.

Musk promised $2 trillion in savings.

What we got, by DOGE’s own unverified math, was $215 billion. Even that number was never proven.

The costs were atrocious. Nearly 140,000 federal workers pushed out. Veterans waiting longer for care. USAID dismantled while people died overseas as a direct result. 20-year-olds with Red Bulls and no college degrees rummaging through Americans’ most sensitive data.

Musk, the world’s richest man, a federal contractor with billions in government business, auditing the government that pays him, accountable to no voter anywhere. 

Even Musk now says he wouldn’t do it again. The guy who ran it calls it a mistake.

Government reform was there for the taking. Both parties know federal technology is outdated. Both parties know waste exists. Fixing it required serious people working with career civil servants who know where the problems actually are. Instead we got a chainsaw, a photo op, and years of lost expertise we now have to rebuild.

Now Trump’s budget director says there will be no final accounting or receipts. They promised transparency and they’re closing up shop in the dark.
They’re counting on us all to forget.

Newsom: I’m really proud of the data that just came out. The lowest homicides in recorded history in California. Time for updated talking points for all those with California derangement syndrome.

Eight out of the top 10 murder-rate states in America are red states.

And the fact remains that in most of these blue states, across the spectrum of issues—not just crime and violence—we outperform these red states.

We have a responsibility to socialize not just what’s happening in California but what’s happening across the nation, and point out the fact that states like Texas have significantly higher homicide rates than California and property-crime rates that are higher than California’s.

I was just looking at the numbers that came out today from the FBI—Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee. Tennessee has a 24% higher homicide rate than California. Why we are not focusing on that while they’re focusing on us is an issue that has to be addressed.
