All right.

You may have heard America is celebrating its 250th birthday this year.

That sounds like a unifying, patriotic occasion, right?

Well, like almost everything these days, it has become partisan.

Let's get into it.

It's the NPR Politics Podcast.

I'm Myles Parks.

I cover voting.

I'm Danielle Kurtzleben.

I cover the White House.

And I'm Tamara Keith, senior political correspondent.

Okay, so it's this July 4th weekend, birthday 250 for the country.

Tam, there's a lot of events and celebrations going on.

Can you walk us through just kind of everything that we're watching for this weekend?

There are a lot of things planned, not just in Washington, D.C., but all over the country.

There are going to be massive fireworks in New York City.

Also, Taylor Swift is getting married.

There is a huge event happening actually tomorrow at Mount Rushmore.

And then the big event is on the National Mall for the 4th of July, a concert featuring sort of a mega group of

military bands and choruses, flyovers happening all day with aerial tricks being performed.
