France will stage an elaborate light show at the Statue of Liberty to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States, the French Consulate said Monday.

The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday struck down two proposed ballot measures that would have allowed new congressional district maps for the state's 2028 and 2030 election cycles.

The Supreme Court said in a partisan decision Monday that the president had expansive authority to fire government agency employees.

The ruling overturns a 1935 decision in which the highest court in the land found that Congress could shield government workers from being fired by the president unless it was for cause.

'Such a Monumental Ruling at such an important time!'

The six conservatives on the court ruled in favor, while the three liberals dissented.

"Although it is up to the Senate to decide whether to confirm those with whom the President would prefer to work, neither Congress nor the courts may saddle him with those with whom he cannot work," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority ruling.

"Subordinates who exercise the President's power are subject to removal by him," he added. "Then, and only then, can they remain accountable to the President, and the President to the people."

The president praised the ruling for expanding his power in numerous posts on the Truth Social platform.

"Today's Historic Slaughter Decision by the Supreme Court is the Greatest Increase in Presidential Power in the last 100 years. Such a Monumental Ruling at such an important time!" the president posted on Truth Social.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote the dissent, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

"Put simply, today the majority reshapes our Government," Sotomayor wrote.

"Dozens of independent commissions are now likely to become purely executive agencies, shifting tremendous power over broad swaths of American life into the President's hands," she added.

The case was first filed by Rebecca Slaughter, who was appointed by Trump to the Federal Trade Commission in his first term. He sought to dismiss her in his second term without cause, and she sued on the basis of the 1935 precedent set during the New Deal era.

The 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence kicked off on Thursday in Washington, D.C., but a few Democratic states say they will not send an official delegation to the Great American State Fair.

Various state officials offered several reasons as to why they were refusing to participate, and some did not give any rationale at all.

'Frankly, you'll never see anything like it, and you'll never see anything like it again.'

According to Freedom 250, which is organizing the event, all 50 states and six territories will be represented at the fair. However, some states that have declined official participation cited cost as the reason.

Here are the states that have refused to participate officially, per Newsweek:

• Connecticut
• Illinois
• Maine
• Massachusetts
• North Carolina
• Oregon
• Rhode Island
• Vermont
• Washington

Hawaii is reportedly declining to participate as well.

Oregon's Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek told KATU-TV that the state withdrew from the event because of "the cost of participating in the fair and growing concerns that the event in Washington, D.C., is shaping up to be a more partisan affair than originally presented."

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, another Democrat, accused Trump of making the event partisan.

"This president routinely makes patriotism partisan and personal — and it shouldn't be that way," he said in an interview with the New Republic. Pennsylvania is still participating in a private capacity after pressure from U.S. Sens. John Fetterman (D) and Dave McCormick (R).

The event faced a minor setback when nearly all of the music groups and singers decided to drop out after initially agreeing to perform. Some claimed to have been misled about the nature of the celebration.

"I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states," Martina McBride wrote after pulling out.

The celebration at the Capitol will conclude on July 10 with the largest display of fireworks ever, according to Trump.

"Frankly, you'll never see anything like it, and you'll never see anything like it again," he said in Dec. 2025.
