More than 70,000 pyrotechnics were launched from four barges in the east river, creating a spectacle that could be seen for miles.

But vip tickets went to the Republican National committee and top gop donors. Multiple inquiries to the rnc about how many went unanswered.

Twitter the cost of our great salute to america will be very little compared to what it is worth. Some of President Trumps top aides didnt get the fourth of july off. Instead, they were at work, trying to come up with a way to get around a Supreme Court ruling on the u. S. Census. Jan crawford reports. Reporter on twitter this morning, the president said Justice Department lawyers were working even on the fourth of july. Since the Supreme Court last week rejected the commerce departments rationale for the question, the president has vowed to keep fighting.

Now the judge gave the Justice Department until tomorrow afternoon to answer once and for all is this fight over or not. The high price of insulin here in the u. S.
