On July 4, 2026, America’s 250th birthday, Reuters photographed a young Black woman surrounded by masked white supremacists.

It felt like Trump’s America in one frame.

Masked extremists in public. Masked ICE agents at people’s doors. Immigrants hunted. Rights treated like obstacles.

Trump empowered this, uniformed it, and made it policy.

Love this country. Always. Question it, criticize it, protest it, get angry at it, be disappointed in it, and work to always make it better. But love it. Always. It’s a group project, it’s a work in progress, it’s a promise not yet fulfilled, but it’s the most unique experiment in human freedom in all of human history. Love it. Be thankful for it. Always.

Happy 250th America.🇺🇸

@WalshFreedom Absolutely, Joe. Thanks for putting today in perspective.
Keep making good trouble!

I am a bit sceptical about what we call blessings. I believe the ultimate source of blessings is within us. A good motivation and honesty bring self-confidence, which attracts the trust and respect of others. Therefore the real source of blessings is in your own mind.

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

"America lost the war...We will exit the war with none of those goals achieved, and in order to end the war, America had to submit to a host of Iranian conditions. We lost and there is no reasonable way to hide this fact."

So the ballroom is a fiasco, the reflecting pool is a fiasco, the Iran war is a fiasco—the Trump administration is a fiasco.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
