"You see this all the time, but you never in a million years think you’ll be the one crying about a loved one killed at the hands of police,” the slain man's sister said. https://t.co/UUomC8Tnmb via @HuffPostCrime
It is now July 4, 2026, and thus officially the 250th anniversary of our wonderful Nation's adventure into the realm of independence, freedom, and democracy.
Nothing would be more appropriate than for it to happen today.
The odds are it won't happen today.
But take heart in the fact that it will indeed happen—soon! 🍾🥂—and that most of us will be here to witness it. 🔥🎇🎆
So please keep the faith. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
God bless America!!!

To understand R’s narrative capabilities versus D’s narrative capabilities, look no further than R’s ability to make Hunter Biden into a full blown “Biden crime family” scandal vs D’s inability to focus relentlessly on Trump & Co’s mind-bending corruption. Everyone should post their favorite insane Trump grift to celebrate the 4th.
“Trump’s total profits from World Liberty reached $799 million last year, according to his financial disclosure, including hundreds of millions from the United Arab Emirates, which secretly moved in early 2025 to buy nearly half the company. A Trump business entity also collected a 75 percent cut of salesof $WLFI, after the deduction of certain expenses, guaranteeing that Mr. Trump would profit, even if the coin’s price ultimately crashed.”
Nearly a Million Investors Lost a Total of $3.8 Billion on Trump Crypto Coin https://t.co/cPKlx7VAsu via @NYTimes
The New York Post gets this right.
This should not be a partisan issue. If Americans were right to be angry about Hunter Biden trading on his father’s name, then Americans should be just as concerned when the Trump family is tied to deals involving foreign governments, federal support, and political access.
Public service should never become a family revenue stream.
One standard.

DOGE deletes itself on July 4th. It will be remembered as a hugely destructive failure.
Musk promised $2 trillion in savings.
What we got, by DOGE’s own unverified math, was $215 billion. Even that number was never proven.
The costs were atrocious. Nearly 140,000 federal workers pushed out. Veterans waiting longer for care. USAID dismantled while people died overseas as a direct result. 20-year-olds with Red Bulls and no college degrees rummaging through Americans’ most sensitive data.
Musk, the world’s richest man, a federal contractor with billions in government business, auditing the government that pays him, accountable to no voter anywhere.
Even Musk now says he wouldn’t do it again. The guy who ran it calls it a mistake.
Government reform was there for the taking. Both parties know federal technology is outdated. Both parties know waste exists. Fixing it required serious people working with career civil servants who know where the problems actually are. Instead we got a chainsaw, a photo op, and years of lost expertise we now have to rebuild.
Now Trump’s budget director says there will be no final accounting or receipts. They promised transparency and they’re closing up shop in the dark.
They’re counting on us all to forget.

@EricLDaugh Meanwhile @NYCMayor’s Fourth of July speech was beautiful and spoke not about the stock market and racist GOP policies but about the core of America and its values.
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.

WATCH: Here’s new video showing 400 white nationalist Patriot Front
members marching in Washington D.C. today with Confederate flags, etc.
A streamer with the group described it as a “total Aryan victory.”
WTF is this?
I was most struck by what Balogun said about his reaction to the red card.
“There are lots of people we’re inspiring, boys and girls watching, you have to show them the right way to handle things,” Balogun said. “Even when you think it’s unjust.”
