US 250th Independence Day: Thunderstorms disrupt events

Deutsche Welle reports on disruptions to U.S. Independence Day celebrations due to thunderstorms, which affected events planned for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. In addition, a ship named Clearwater was removed from a New York Harbor parade after displaying banners with messages related to environmental protection, Indigenous rights, racial justice, and climate solutions, which the organizers deemed politically charged. The U.S. Coast Guard required participants to avoid such messaging, and the ship's owners refused to comply. The article also includes an in-depth piece examining Thomas Jefferson's legacy, particularly his relationship with Polish military engineer Thaddeus Kosciuszko, and raises questions about whether Jefferson passed a moral test associated with him. Another segment discusses former President Donald Trump's intention to proceed with a July 4th speech regardless of weather conditions.
