@kariwarburton Happy Anniversary 🥳

[updatewithfacts @updatewithfact1]

A few things:
1)I'm not dead yet. Had some health scares, but still kicking.
2)Voted this morning. Early voting in my area was very busy, but Election Day was tempered. Mixed feelings on that.
3)Should be getting my predictions out today in just a bit.
Stay tuned.

@animalsbabyy Seller- “So which one would you like?”
Me- “I’ll take the one that looks like a breaded Dino nugget” 🤣

@Kentuckygirl1 My average has been about 4-8 times on an even year (typically support for candidates in local races* but sometimes gauging “direction of things”) *I have moved several times but still get stuff from other states

No person outside of family & friends hit me in the chest by their passing like Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11

Charlie, I hope more people every year will know who you are & the good you have done. RIP

@MichaelPruser @MichaelPruser , is this the biggest change in vote totals for either party that you’ve seen in a weekly or monthly update?

[updatewithfacts @updatewithfact1]

Is @Imaginedragons my favorite post-2000 band? Nope.

Does “America” come up on my music playlist almost every July 4th? Yep

Does it slap? Double Yep.

Happy 250th Declaration Day, America! 🇺🇸 🦅 🧨

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

On America 250 be a Coolidge, not a Mamdani.

One little-known but brave story from exactly July 4, 1776, involves John Dunlap, the young Irish immigrant printer in Philadelphia.

Right after the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on the afternoon/evening of July 4, Dunlap (the official printer to Congress, in his late 20s) received the text—likely in Thomas Jefferson’s handwriting—and was tasked with producing the first printed copies (known as the Dunlap Broadsides) as quickly as possible.

He and his team worked through the night in his shop, setting type by candlelight and printing an estimated 200 broadsides (large single-sheet posters) on the evening of the 4th into the 5th.

These were rushed out the next day to the colonies, the army, and even abroad to spread the news of independence.

This wasn’t just a routine printing job.

Publishing the Declaration was an act of treason against the British Crown—punishable by death.

By producing and distributing these copies (which included John Hancock’s and Charles Thomson’s names but not yet all signers), Dunlap and his workers were directly aiding a rebellion against the world’s most powerful empire.

The haste is still visible in surviving copies, with things like offset ink from folding before it dried.

Dunlap’s efforts helped turn a closed-door congressional vote into a public proclamation, galvanizing support across the colonies at a moment when British forces were a real threat.

He continued supporting the Patriot cause as a printer and later served in the military.

This story underscores how the “birth” of the nation on July 4 wasn’t just about the words in the hall.

It required everyday people taking immediate, dangerous action to make it real. It’s a powerful, underappreciated piece of that day’s courage.

And here we are, about to celebrate the 250th birthday of that brand new country: the United States of America.

Have you heard of Caesar Rodney?

[Jerry Dunleavy IV 🇺🇸 @JerryDunleavy]

John Adams said July 2nd “will be the most memorable Epocha in the History of America… It ought to be solemnized with Pomp & Parade, Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires, & Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”🇺🇸🎆

[updatewithfacts @updatewithfact1]

Happy July 2nd! 🇺🇸

[updatewithfacts @updatewithfact1]

Anyone have any pre-July 4th traditions for Independence Day?

A friend of mine started a tradition where we watch a show taking place on July 2nd for the vote and we watch it every year on the 2nd.

[updatewithfacts @updatewithfact1]

@timburchett I do mean this respectfully:

Your voice is what Senator McConnell wishes his voice was like when he speaks on the Senate Floor.

Wishing you a wonderful upcoming Independence Day

While there are some significant primary elections going on tomorrow, there’s at least 2 special elections taking place as well.
-Council seat for DC.
- Georgia Senate District 7
I noticed there are at least 3 mayoral MD elections coming up next week.

[updatewithfacts @updatewithfact1]

Lots of data to unpack (both in personal life and going over election results), but honestly? I’m happy how tonight has gone.

@1Nicdar Where I grew up? Yeah, that’s accurate.
Where I live now? Absolutely not. Might have seen one of those stores in my state.
