Summary
The July 4th ceremony on the National Mall was something else. A 107-year-old Navy veteran and D-Day survivor. A 104-year-old Pearl Harbor survivor saluting the flag that went down with the USS Arizona. An Iwo Jima survivor Marine who raised the flag over that island. Gold Star families. Trump closed it out: "God bless the immortal patriots of 1776 — and long live the cause of independence." We have the clips. While America celebrated, the socialist left held their own version. Zohran Mamdani said America's wealth sits in "the soft hands of a precious few." Claire Valdez called for liberation from Palestine to Puerto Rico and a Green New Deal — the same Claire Valdez who just got crushed by working class voters, losing low-income areas by 32 points and Black precincts by 50. The socialist coalition is not what they claim it is. USA vs Belgium is tonight at 8pm. We preview the matchup and what's at stake as America's World Cup run continues. Trump heads to NATO with new hope on Ukraine and Russia, and sits down with Prime Minister Netanyahu. We preview what to watch. Abdul El-Sayed has said Israel doesn't have a right to exist and is deleting tweets about defunding the police as he eyes the Michigan Senate race. Mallory McMorrow has suspended her campaign — her team was calling it "McMomentum" as recently as last year. A Gavin Newsom associate was wired by the FBI — during the Biden years, not the Trump era. So much for that narrative. Crypto bills, housing bills, and Congress is racing to fit everything in before the August recess. We preview the week ahead.
