Brendan Boyle: “We got tremendously good news. Because of this economy performing much better than was projected a year ago...”

I’m nervous. Let’s just say that right now, at the moment, I am very much a fan of Mike Johnson keeping the House in session through Thursday morning, so that way our plans for Independence Hall on July 2 aren’t negatively impacted.

This isn’t fiscal responsibility. It’s cruelty disguised as economics.

I feel awe and I feel pride. And I also feel a certain burden to live up to what those Founders intended 250 years ago.

I hope that after this, the spirit of this event will live on.
