The red, white, and blue stars of this globular cluster shine like a sparkler waved on a dark night in this image from @NASAHubble, released in celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary.
🚨 JUST NOW: US Air Force Thunderbirds fly a MERE 18 INCHES APART from each other over the National Mall in Washington DC
That is CLOSE! Absolutely incredible to watch 🔥👏🏻
Patriots are loving it!
America turns 250 today.
Let me read back the resume.
We started by telling a king to pound sand, in writing.
By 1803 we bought half a continent from France for about four cents an acre.
We fought a war with ourselves and somehow stayed one country.
We strung a railroad across the entire thing.
We handed the world the lightbulb, the telephone, and the airplane in about thirty years flat.
Then a man named Willis Carrier invented air conditioning and made half the planet actually livable.
You are welcome, Texas. You are welcome, Dubai.
Twice the whole world caught fire, and twice we showed up and helped put it out.
We split the atom.
We put men on the moon in 1969.
Then we went back and hit golf balls up there, because why not.
We invented jazz, blues, rock and roll, and hip-hop, and the whole planet is still dancing to it.
We put a burger and fries on every corner of the earth.
We built rockets that fly themselves home and land standing straight up.
We flew a helicopter on Mars.
We launched a car into actual space and it is still out there cruising.
We also invented ranch dressing and somehow talked the entire world into putting it on pizza.
Priorities.
We even invented three of our own sports so we could win them.
Baseball, basketball, and football.
Real football, the kind with hands, because we named it and we are not taking corrections.
The rest of the planet can keep soccer, which is fine, we are hosting it in our backyard this summer anyway.
And yes, Canadian football exists, wider field, extra man, one fewer down, and we try very hard not to think about it.
Frankly it was generous of us to invent our own games.
If we put all that energy into soccer, nobody else would ever lift that trophy again.
We would win it so often they would just rename it the America’s Cup and hand us the keys.
You are welcome for the suspense.
And in 2026 we threw a birthday so big a German tourist live-tweeted our gas stations to 750,000 people.
Not every chapter was clean.
We argued, we stumbled, we fixed what we broke, and we kept building.
That is the whole trick.
Two hundred and fifty years in, and we are still the loudest, brightest, most improbable experiment on the map.
Not bad for a country that started as a strongly worded letter to a king.
Happy birthday, America.

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.
Happy 250th Independence Day! 🇺🇸
July 4th, 1776:
56 delegates from 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence, formally breaking ties with Britain and proclaiming the birth of a new nation grounded in liberty.
Penned primarily by Thomas Jefferson, it boldly declared the self-evident truth that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. This radical document ignited the American Revolution and became the moral foundation of the freest, most prosperous nation the world has ever known.
250 years ago, a bold idea changed the course of history. Today we celebrate the people, principles, and enduring promise of the United States of America.
Happy 4th of July from the White House. 🇺🇸
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights."
Words that revolutionized the world. The product of great men who chose patriotism and courage in the face of impossible odds.
250 years later, we stand on the shoulders of the giants who created the greatest nation ever known to mankind. 🇺🇸
If you aren’t celebrating America’s 250th, keep it to yourself.
We simply do not care.
This weekend is for the REAL Americans. 🇺🇸
Greatest country on earth.
You only had a 2.7% chance of being born an American.
If you were lucky enough to be a native born American, you already won at life.
🇺🇸🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸
