    Is America's 250th birthday celebration too partisan?

    02/07/2026 | 26 mins.
    This weekend, the United States marks its 250th birthday, and what Congress intended to be a nonpartisan, patriotic celebration has instead become — like seemingly everything else — partisan. We discuss how the event became fraught with politics and a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll showing that American pride is also deeply divided along partisan lines. Plus, a special Thursday edition of Can't Let It Go.

    This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, White House correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, and senior political correspondent Tamara Keith.
