weekend, the United States of America has an energy crisis. An energy crisis that millions of Americans are experiencing firsthand right now as we see record high temperatures blaze across the country, but especially in and around the Washington, D.C. area, the nation's largest electricity grid provider has been told by the federal government to reduce electricity consumption. Just one day after the federal government, the Trump administration said everything would be fine. Homes in New York have been ripped off electricity. They've been told they can't have electricity in parts of New York City as Con Edison has literally turned off electricity for some New York homeowners and more. It comes as we celebrate America's 250th anniversary. And people are asking, who are we celebrating? What version of America are we celebrating? The president is putting his signature on dollar bills printed starting today. But fireworks aren't being purchased because the celebrations across the country are muted are muted right now at a time where many families are struggling to afford to pay basic necessities, let alone purchase fireworks to celebrate America, I have all the latest right now. Make sure to like comment share and if you can, subscribe to my substack link below to support my work. It comes at a time where those on the right are literally calling for me to leave the country, saying, why are you using your platform to continue to divide Americans as we enter 250 years? Well, here's the thing. Not using my platform to divide Americans. I'm sharing the truth. And the truth is, a lot of Americans are not happy with where America is at today. Especially not with what they're seeing in Washington, D.C. during the State Fair right now, America has an energy crisis. Just yesterday, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said, quote, as we approach peak electricity demand in 13 state Mid Atlantic region at 7am Less than 6% of electricity generation was coming from renewables. Over 91% of generation is coming from gas, nuclear and coal, keeping our air conditioners blasting just 24 hours later, the largest US power grid PJM Escalates Emergency Actions to Avoid Blackouts we're now learning today that PJM ordered customers enrolled in emergency electricity reduction programs to curb their use as it battled generator outages, overloaded transmission lines and a surge in air conditioning demand during a prolonged heat wave. An emergency alert went out activated in line with Utilities Conservation Program, saying that the order applied to industrial and residential electricity users with contracts that paid them in return for mandatory consumption cuts during emergencies. The alert was issued to increase reserves on the system and avert outages during peak demand around 6pm Eastern time today. PJM also notified neighboring regional grids, including in New York and Midwest, that electricity exports from PJM may be curtailed, a step that allows those neighboring regions to plan accordingly. PJM is actively escalating actions to conserve electricity as demand has approached. An all time record of 165.6 gigawatts set 20 years ago. And it's not just in the DMV area. It's also in New York City where we're learning today that Con Edison temporarily shut off electric service to almost 10,000 residential and commercial customers located in southwest Queensland due to equipment problems caused by extreme heat and heavy demand for power, the company said. Customers in the following locations may have their service temporarily shut off, including in Ozone Park, Richmond Hill, South Ozone park and Howard Beach. Right now, the American electricity grid is literally hanging on by a thread. The Air Conditioning Contractors of America issued the following statement with more than 200Americans million Americans under heat alerts, air conditioning has shifted from a comfort feature to a life saving necessity. Overnight lows are staying in the 75 to 80 degree range in many regions denying households the overnight relief that normally helps the body recover from daytime heat stress, a pattern health officials say significantly raises the risk of heat related illness, particularly for children, older adults and people with chronic health conditions. Quote When a heat dome like this settles in a corner, cooling system isn't a luxury. It's medical equipment, a food safety system and a family's first line of defense all at once. Our contractors are on the front lines of the heat wave, working long hours to make sure cooling systems don't fail. Insulin stays cold and families have a safe place to ride out the worst of it. That's the job of ACCA members. Show up every single day of a heat emergency like this one. And it comes as Trump has declared, declaring a proclamation for America's 250th saying by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim July 4, 2026 as a 250th anniversary of the adoption and Declaration of Independence. I urge all Americans to proudly observe this day with all due ceremony to honor the glorious heritage, history and accomplishments of our beloved Republic. But many Americans are asking for who who is this country working for today? And when you look at fireworks displays across the country, this is what they look like. Full One of you sent me this image from Milan, Tennessee, showing fireworks full to the brim. Americans cannot afford to purchase fireworks this year and so many firework shops currently have a lot of fireworks left. And while the President isn't stopping his celebrations today, we learn that he is now going to put a signature on every single every single $100 bill printed by the United States Treasury. His signature is at the bottom left under the hair of Ben Franklin. And well, the reason he's doing this, I believe, so that people who are not knowing what they're getting when they get the $100 bill, they see a signature and they say, well, the President of the United States is sending me $100 bills. He is personally signing these hundred dollar bills. It's the corruption aspect that is the most insidious part of it. And when we talk about corruption, nothing is more corrupt than what the insider information that the President of the United States and his family are using to profit off of you, the average everyday American. And no longer is this president even hiding it. He's making clear that he and his sons do have insider information and they use it. Take a listen in a way for

my kids, because every time my kids do, if they invest in a stock or if they go and do a bill, anything they do, because the presidency is so powerful, so big, everything. If they buy a cupcake company, well, the energy to make the cupcakes is, you know, conflict. Almost anything that they do. If they want to buy a truck, if they want to buy, you know, if they buy an energy efficient truck, they have inside information. So it's pretty tough in that sense. I tell my kids, stay away from as much as you can stay away from. But they also have a life, you
