July 4: America turns 247. Ohio Gov. DeWine asks for East Palestine disaster declaration.

An Independence Day fireworks display is seen during the annual Independence Day holiday celebration at Barnes Park in Monterey Park, California, on July 1, 2023, where 11 people were killed in a Mass Shooting six months ago during Lunar New Year celebrations. Monterey Park is just one of many Southern California cities who celebrate July 4 with fireworks a few days before the actual date, one reason being there are not enough Sheriff’s deputies to provide security and work on July 4.
