@WhiteHouse Then, perhaps, being buddy-buddy with Putin, Kim Jong Un, and other such individuals should stop. Prioritize supporting our allies both at home and abroad. Just a thought.
President Obama's message on America 250.
"Remember what's best in us. The basic principle upon which this country was founded which is we don't have rulers, kings, monarchs, aristocracies-- we have citizens.
If we pay attention to our responsibilities and duties and extend respect to our fellow citizens, then we're gonna have another 250 year run that's gonna be just as good."
Since 1775, the U.S. Army has defended this nation and the Stars and Stripes. For 250 years, generations of Soldiers have answered the call with courage, duty, and sacrifice. We stand ready to defend this great nation for the next 250 years and beyond. 🇺🇸
BREAKING: Democratic Congressman Jared Huffman just EXPOSED how Trump hijacked our nation’s 250th anniversary celebration and turned it into a political project to enrich himself.
Retweet so every American sees this blatant corruption.
@RpsAgainstTrump Puh-leese. I seriously doubt he reads anything. Based on what advisors from his previous stint as President said, reports were condensed to bullet points and pictures.
On July 2, 1776, delegates for the 13 American colonies voted to approve a resolution submitted by Richard Henry Lee announcing "That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown." With the vote complete, Congress began editing Thomas Jefferson's draft of the Declaration of Independence, getting ready to announce the decision to the world.

Today in 1937, a 24 hour honor guard was posted for the first time at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
It has been continuously guarded ever since.
250 years ago, Americans bet everything on an idea worth fighting for. The next 250 are on us to protect our democracy and take care of each other. Let’s get to work.
@WhiteHouse You, sir, are NO Teddy Roosevelt. He was a Progressive who valued protecting our natural resources (hello, nat'l parks) and consumers. He was also a war hero (no bone spurs there). He also said this...
Trump: “I'm the only president that's ever given up my salary. That’s a lot of money”
(Meanwhile, Trump has made more than $2 billion in 2025 from crypto and other business dealings.)
