It was actually our 250th anniversary. Not that you would know — you spent it with the British.
Paxton: On July 4th, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of our country.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
July 4 2026 marked the 250th anniversary of US independence not the 200th as claimed in the video. Multiple reports placed Paxton in London England that weekend with videos of the trip. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St… thedailybeast.com/must-win-maga-… ibtimes.co.uk/ken-paxton-lon… washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns…

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power. A major political upset in Brazil.

Every Trump rally for some reason
TRUMP: I looked at his ass, and I've never done that with a man before. By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss.

Oh.
🚨 LEAKED: In an unearthed email to supporters, Mike Rogers said his race is about "Giving President Trump another reliable vote to get his agenda across the finish line." That's what Rogers thinks is "at stake" in this election: helping Trump, not Michiganders.

Michigan House Speaker @RepMattHall has been linked to a coordinated doxxing campaign targeting women running for office, putting their safety at risk. Hall already has a documented history of threatening behavior toward women, (plus some gambling, alcohol, racist emails, calling women the C word, locking a woman in a closet in his office) . Now he needs to answer for his role in these attacks in his most recent attacks on women candidates. No woman should have to fear for her life because she dared to run for public office. Enough is enough.

Do you think she knows JD Vance's real name is James Donald Bowman? We know it's just about Islamophobia for these people. And there is no way she is from Detroit.
Illuminating exchange with a 19 year old voter in Detroit, worried about @AbdulElSayed’s name. @AJEnglish #Midterms2026 #Michigan

Ray Kerr was working at a 7-Eleven and a movie theater, thinking his baseball career was over. Then he got signed for $2,000 and spent seven seasons in the minors. He just dominated the Phillies over 3.1 scoreless in his first MLB postseason game.

NEW: McDonald's prices have doubled in the last ten years. The profits have gone mostly to shareholders, who got nearly $40 billion in dividends over the past decade while customers suffer and workers are underpaid. Here's how fast food is the latest victim of enshittification.

Man who released a song called Heil Hitler and called himself a Nazi completely welcome to perform in a stadium. Man who said Free Palestine is not.
