🇺🇸 250 years, folks. That is not a typo. America just hit its semiquincentennial — and if you think that word rolls off the tongue, try saying it after a hot dog and a firework. Today, July 4, 2026, the nation is celebrating like never before: record-breaking fireworks over the National Mall, air flyovers in every major city, naturalization ceremonies for new citizens, and parades from sea to shining sea. President Trump kicked off the weekend with a speech at Mount Rushmore. The White House called this the largest celebration in American history — and honestly? Hard to argue. Watch the full coverage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7g7QJLSAbU From Atlanta to Anchorage, people are out in force. This is what we do, America. We show up. We celebrate. And we remember that 250 years ago, a bunch of folks in wigs signed a piece of paper that changed everything. Happy birthday, USA. 🎆🎇 — Jessica Ali, Global 1 News
