Today of all days, let's remember that immigrants make America great.

“We the People” means all of us. Republicans can have January 6th — the 4th belongs to everyone else.

Happy Independence Day🇺🇸

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

It’s time to stop letting Republicans claim the mantle of patriotism. They’ve done nothing to deserve it.

FIFA is making so much money off this year's World Cup that the United States will likely host it again in 2038. All you have to do is follow the money.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

Republicans say the DOJ’s effort to collect voter data from all 50 states and D.C. is just an effort to screen out noncitizens or people who have died.

“That’s a bunch of bullshit,” @marceelias says.

This photograph today deserves a Pulitzer Prize.

A black girl sits in the middle of dozens of white supremacist patriot front members in Washington DC on the Fourth of July.

This is so representative of the country. We’re living in under Donald Trump right now. I want my country back.

One year ago today, Trump signed his and Republicans’ big, ugly bill.

Since then, millions have lost healthcare and food stamps — but the super-rich and corporations are doing better than ever.

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

Trump’s DOJ doesn’t seem to care about any threats to the U.S., @HillaryClinton says.

All the DOJ cares about is going after Trump’s perceived enemies – and they’re not even trying to hide their corruption.

In the biggest voting news of the week, the Supreme Court rejected a Republican attempt to restrict mail voting by barring states from accepting ballots that arrive after Election Day. https://t.co/VJJ05vp5vD

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

Remember: These are the foundations of real freedom.

America is a constant work in progress. Every generation must take up the unfinished work of the last and carry it further—protecting what’s right, fixing what’s wrong, and making our union a little more perfect. 250 years later, that’s more important than ever.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it's our turn.

There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

250 years ago, this country was founded on a radical idea that government answers to the people.

Today, that idea is under attack by a man who embodies the very tyranny our Founders rejected.

Let's honor the promise of America by defending our democracy.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

This week's progressive landslide in New York makes one thing abundantly clear: Democrats must reject Big Money and offer a real alternative to Trumpism.

Most people watch the World Cup from a cafe or a couch. Jordan’s fans watch it at 5:00 AM from a 1,900-year-old ancient theatre. 🇯🇴

Football with a view like this hits different. 🏛️🤩

A federal judge in California has issued a nationwide block against the Trump administration’s policy of making arrests at immigration courts, putting an end to a practice that garnered national attention. https://t.co/qXz0ie6sbZ

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Wow. Donald Trump is holding affordable housing hostage until Congress passes his voter suppression bill.

He is literally delaying help for families struggling to afford a home in order to make it harder for married women and Black Americans to vote.

He is a sick man!
