As we celebrate the 250th birthday of our nation, I have a few thoughts to share with you. We are a great country. Most democracies do not exist for more than 200 years.

SO, what do we do? We mobilize like our Minutemen did. We reject the monarchy that acts with impunity. We demand that term limits be imposed on the Supreme Court. We protect polling places around the country during the midterms.

Every American should be outraged by what Trump has done to our nation's 250th birthday celebration. What should have been a once-in-a-generation moment to unite the country has been turned into another vehicle for division, propaganda, and political gain.

We uncovered how he hijacked America 250 – watch to see how.
