“Big 4th of July in D.C. ‘Salute to America.’ The Pentagon & our great Military Leaders are thrilled to be doing this & showing to the American people, among other things, the strongest and most advanced Military anywhere in the World. Incredible Flyovers & biggest ever Fireworks!” AP: Trump promises tanks, ‘biggest ever fireworks’ on July 4. (Maybe Trump’s 4th of July military parade should just be a bunch of guys faking foot injuries…)

+ Speaking of DC fireworks, House Democrats Are Suing To Get Trump’s Tax Returns.

+ America’s latest cultural flashpoint is a recalled Nike shoe called the Air Max 1 Quick Strike Fourth of July. Now they’re selling for thousands online. (I’ll take my 4th of July without the politicization or the commercialization. I’m just going to eat until I’m bloated and complain about the humidity.)
