America at 250.

July 2 is one of my favorite dates because of John Adams.

July 2, 1786, the delegates are exhausted, the debates have dragged on for weeks, and the weight of history presses down like the summer humidity.

On this very day, July 2, 1776, Adams and his allies push the Continental Congress to vote for independence from Great Britain. The resolution passes. The colonies are no longer subjects; they are free, or at least determined to become so.

Adams writes to his beloved Abigail that day: “The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America… It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”

He was off by two days. July 4 would get the glory when the Declaration was formally adopted, but he nailed the spirit.

As we race toward America 250 in 2026, this moment feels electric. Two hundred fifty years ago, a group of imperfect but courageous people bet everything on the radical idea that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed. They chose hope over fear, unity over division, and liberty over submission.

Today is all about John Adams!

Pennsylvania isn't just where America began. It's where the American spirit lives.

As our nation celebrates 250 years of freedom, join us in celebrating the people, places, and history that helped shape the United States of America.

Happy 250th birthday, America!

@ThePost @ohiou Sledding down Jeff hill was so much better (dangerous) before they fixed the road. Potholes so deep they’d launch you to South Green if you had enough speed. Circa winter 2003

@jbchoknows much appreciated! You’ve been a big help this season

[Mike Hritz @OUHritz06]

@LobosFFDen Start Tyler Warren or Oronde Gadsden at TE? I’m leaning toward Warren. Thanks!

[Mike Hritz @OUHritz06]

@jbchoknows #AskJBC Pickens, Pittman, Diggs and Doubs. 2 have to sit. I have Love and Dart as QB’s. Superflex for 2nd QB. Thoughts? Leaning toward Pickens and Pittman. Great content, thanks!

[Mike Hritz @OUHritz06]

@jbchoknows I got Jonathan Taylor and Jahmyr Gibbs starting. Do you think Dowdle over one of them?
