Summer is here, and while midterm election campaigns dominate American politics, the rest of us are actually trying to enjoy the sun and survive those terribly hot sleepless nights.

Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Politics U.S. with me, Katty Kay.
And me on the 250th anniversary of America, Anthony Scaramucci. And by the way, Katty, I have lived 24.8% of America's life. How about that? Wow. Sort of scary, actually, when you think about it.
That's a very good stat.
I haven't done the calculation in Scaramucci's, but that just speaks about how young this country is. If you're 60 years old in the country, you've been here for 24% of the time.
That's amazing. So what are you doing for the 4th of July, Anthony?
I'm hanging at home. I think we're probably going to talk a little bit about this. No fireworks? No parade? Well, I'm going to go to the fireworks. And I'm wearing the shirt from the last big movement. This is the Bicentennial shirt. I remember the bicentennial. That star was created. You probably can't see it if you're not on YouTube. That star was created as togetherness. You see the interconnectivity of the star? And I was 12 years old, Caddy, and my father had a 20-foot motorboat. He was a big fisherman. And he took us into New York Harbor, and we got to watch what was called Operation Sail. which were all the large ships that entered the harbor in celebration of the 200th anniversary. But there's no wind in anybody's sail here related to this right now.
And I think we should talk a little bit about that because- My kids are like, NFW, I'm not going to a Trump rally on the birthday. I'd rather go eat hot dogs in the backyard. But go ahead, Kat.
So on the 200th anniversary, I was in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and I had my first ever hot dog at the American Embassy birthday party. I thought it was fantastic.
Was that also your last ever hot dog? It was your first ever?
It was pretty much my last ever, but it was not my last ever Betty Crocker's Devil's Food Cake. I thought any country that had food like that, I had to go and live there. So that was a great celebration. You know what? I'm in Maine, hence the sweater, and I will be going to the local 4th of July parade and the fireworks. And you never know, Anthony Scaramucci, I may be found with a hot dog in my hand on July the 4th. But yes.
If you have a hot dog, I want to see a picture of it.
OK, OK, you'll get the picture. OK, Anthony, I want to discuss the huge wins that Trump is having for his anti-immigration agenda. And with Trump's approval ratings at record lows and inequality in America on the rise, we're going to talk about if America is falling apart on its 250th birthday. Let's dive in. One person in the White House who is particularly happy, who we have done a series about before, is Mr. Stephen Miller. We know that Miller has immigration at the top of his list of things that he wants to change in America. Well, he got two wins last week. On June the 25th, the Supreme Court's conservative majority handed President Trump two big victories around immigration policies. They were both six to three decisions, both authored by the conservative justice Samuel Alito, and they clear the path for the administration to remove something like a million people from the United States.
One of them, the decision is to end temporary protected status known as TPS for immigrants
