“What a time for America to celebrate its 250th birthday,” the New York Times reports.
“The country is deeply polarized, its politics as restive as ever. President Trump created his own organization, Freedom 250, to plan Fourth of July events centered on him and his view of American history. That put him at odds with America 250, the organization created by Congress a decade ago to commemorate the anniversary.”
“Trump’s Great American State Fair on the National Mall in Washington does not include participation from all states, with several led by Democratic governors opting out because they were uneasy about the event’s partisanship. The president’s work on renovating the Reflecting Pool has resulted in algae, peeling paint and accusations of vandalism.”
