I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.
250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.
A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.
An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.
The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.
A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.
A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.
Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.
$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.
And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.
And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?
Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.
For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?
Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?
They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.
BURGUM: The reflecting pool has been a big success
STEPHANOPOULOS: You say it's been a success, but the pool is gonna be drained this week, isn't it?
BURGUM: Even though there was damage done by vandals, 99.99% of the pool bottom is perfect
Americans have fought to defend the freedom to vote. Every voter deserves to have their voice heard, and every state deserves to administer its elections free from unlawful federal intrusion.
We cannot allow that right to be undermined by Donald Trump.
The mass shooting in Coney Island last night shocks the conscience.
Praying hard for the children who were injured and all of the victims.
We must crush the scourge of gun violence in New York City and throughout the nation.
Once and for all.
One of my top priorities in the Senate is protecting Californians from the threat of wildfires and other natural disasters.
That's why I'm proud to deliver $375,000 in federal investments for emergency equipment in Lompoc to make sure Central Californians have the support they need in the face of a crisis.

BASH: The president's armored motorcade of SUVs, which can weigh up to 20,000 pounds, drove across that new coating of the reflecting pool. Could that have damaged it?
BURGUM: No. There was no damage that night whatsoever.
Trump: They estimated they had 375,000 people before everybody had to leave and they now have 150,000 people. It's a craziest thing anyone's ever seen .
President Trump tells Fox that he will be going forward with his speech no matter what:
Maybe it will be a little bit shorter but I am going to do it whether it's 10 PM, 11PM, or even 2AM… If they can storm the beaches on d-day, I can deliver a speech
Possibly Trump’s greatest speech yet:
“You can be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal to America. You can be a Communist, or you can be a Patriot. You cannot be both.”
Inject this into me veins!
President Trump’s speech tonight was brilliant.
“Our American ancestors did not shed their blood just so that a band of thieves, radicals, and lunatics could come in loot, pillage our nation.”
Exactly.
Honored to have welcomed @POTUS back to Mount Rushmore for an incredible tribute to America last night. Today, on Independence Day, we celebrate what our founding fathers started 250 years ago. I’m thankful for all those who have fought for our freedom since then, and I am excited for the future of this great nation.🇺🇸
Trump: We treasure justice, fairness, honesty, and human dignity, unlike societies based on class, clan, or tribe. In America, we speak English that is the language of our founding. For 1000 years, that has been the language of freedom.
As America marks 250 years, may we recommit to building a diverse democracy, an economy that works for the many and not just the few, and a future where every generation has the opportunity to live a dignified life.
Happy 4th of July!
Proud to be an American and a South Dakotan and grateful to have @POTUS join us for America’s 250th. Happy July 4th — let freedom ring!!

🚨 When Trump’s presidency ends, it should be annulled.
• No presidential library
• No official portrait
• No titles or honors
• No Nobel Prize
It was a shameful chapter of lies, grift, and destruction.
Thumbs up 👍 if you agree.
