President Trump kicked off the nation's 250th birthday celebration
with a speech at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota last night.
Trump used the address to urge Republicans to back his legislative agenda ahead of this year's midterm elections.
We can only lose the midterms if we allow ourselves to lose the midterms if we are foolish, stupid, and unwise.
But if we terminate the filibuster, as we should do,
and immediately vote for the Save America Act, then we will not lose.
The 4th of July celebration moves to Washington, D.C. Today,
where crowds are expected on the National Mall for concerts, military flyovers, and the annual fireworks display.
The president will address the crowd as a part of the administration's Freedom 250 celebration.
A heat wave is affecting many parts of the United States this 4th of July.
