Happy Independence Day, everyone! We here at Twitchy are happily celebrating 250 years of America, but we're certainly noticing a lot of people who seem to be triggered by it. As we mentioned on Friday, a New York Times journalist said it felt like the apocalypse as a treasure trove of elite military aircraft made practice runs over the National Mall.

It feels like freedom. This editor still remembers a B-2 stealth bomber flyover at an airshow over 25 years ago.

Here's some cool footage of an F-35 Lightning hovering over the National Mall.

Krystal Ball's husband and political commentator Kyle Kulinski saw that "hovering plane of death" and declared America a failed state for having F-35s and not healthcare or childcare.

Grok says that U.S. healthcare spending hit $5.3 trillion in 2024.
