Today is 500 days since Zelensky was told Ukraine has no cards.

Erling Haaland has returned to Norway, and it looks like he brought home a $750 Whiskey Raccoon from Wild Bill's Western Store in Dallas, Texas. What an authentic piece of American culture.

South Carolina lost a statesman and I’ve lost a friend.

My prayers are with his sister and the rest of his family.

From his humble beginnings to the Senate floor, Lindsey always led with faith, family, and South Carolina first.

Lindsey remained committed to public service and doing what he loved. He always introduced levity and brought wit to the most challenging moments.

Lindsey will be missed.

Benjamin Franklin’s Pennsylvania Gazette publishes the Declaration of Independence beside the runaway slave advertisements.

George Washington reads the Declaration of Independence aloud to his troops in New York City, in full view of British warships in the harbor, taunting them to fire at him.

'It is possible that Congress could still pass a third reconciliation bill that would defund Planned Parenthood for the remainder of the fiscal year. However, even if Planned Parenthood retains its eligibility for federal funds, a one-year defund still represents an important achievement for pro-lifers.' @NRO @Michael_J_New

Independence has been declared, the population is learning about the document, but there is a general sense of: “now, what shall we do?”

It is true that the United Colonies or United States or whatever this nation is called is unilaterally independent, but her parent nation shall not release her easily.

The Declaration of Independence is signed - but the battle has only just begun.

Continental Congress HAS SIGNED A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE! 

The UNITED STATES are OFFICIALLY INDEPENDENT from BRITAIN.

LIBERTY BELLS ring out throughout Philadelphia; the streets ERUPT IN ECSTASY.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

For 250 years, America has been the greatest nation on Earth — and with God’s grace, it will be for 250 more.

Happy Independence Day!

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

[Marc Thiessen @marcthiessen]

Happy Birthday America!

Independence may be on hold, despite yesterday’s decision.

Continental Congress has been meeting to further consider the Declaration of Independence, which they have hastily revised to remove author Thomas Jefferson’s denouncement of the transatlantic slave trade.

More changes may be coming and independence may have to wait until August or later.

@drew_erz Yes George W, General Washington must be alerted
