250 years ago today, the Continental Congress assembled a committee of five to draft a Declaration of Independence from the British crown.
America’s story started here.
Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Oregon have reportedly pulled out of the Great American State Fair celebrating America’s 250th birthday. 🇺🇸
Maybe it’s just me, but refusing to participate in a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary because of politics feels like refusing to attend your grandmother’s birthday because she voted for Trump.
You don’t have to agree with everyone in America to celebrate America.
In fact, the freedom to disagree with each other is kind of the whole point.
🇺🇸 America turns 250 and we're celebrating accordingly.
56 states and territories. 150+ exhibits. Daily programming. Military flyovers. Live performances. American innovation, industry, culture, and tradition on display in the heart of the nation's capital.
June 25–July 10, 2026.
The biggest birthday party in American history.
Closing out an evening of remembrance, @MickeyGuyton delivers a stunning rendition of “God Bless America” at the 2026 National Memorial Day Concert.
This is the final weekend to stream the program—don’t miss the extraordinary performances and heartfelt tributes honoring our nation’s military heroes.

Eighty-two years ago today, freedom stood on the edge of extinction, and Allied forces stormed into hell to help save the world.
We will never forget the courage, the sacrifice, and the blood spilled on that fateful day.
Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴
