Mayor Muriel Bowser issued an extreme heat warning for the city, which will last until July 5. Bowser warned D.C. residents in a <u>post<\/u> on X that temperatures could surpass triple digits and urged people to consider the heat while making plans for America 250. \u201cPeople have to really watch the heat, watch what they&#8217;re drinking and get home as soon as the fireworks are over,\u201d <u>Bowser<\/u> told reporters earlier this week, suggesting families with small children may want to watch the event on television instead. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1226\">Hantavirus Cruise Ship Outbreak Officially Over After 13 Infected, 3 Dead<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s Happening In Washington, D.C.

On Saturday, the National Mall will host what Trump has <u>called<\/u> \u201cthe LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW IN HISTORY.\u201d The fireworks show will take place at 11 p.m., capping off a day of <u>programming<\/u> that will include a Trump speech, military flyovers and a performance by the Joint Armed Forces Orchestra. The National Mall is also home to the Great American State Fair, which contains <u>exhibits<\/u> from all U.S. states and territories. <\/p>\n<h2>What Is The Status Of The Reflecting Pool?<\/h2>\n<p>The reflecting pool will once again be drained after this weekend\u2019s July Fourth celebrations, <u>Trump said<\/u> earlier this week. Trump has consistently blamed vandals for disrupting the reflecting pool repairs, which have faced struggles as the pool turned green and bloomed with algae shortly after initial renovations were completed. At least seven people have been <u>arrested<\/u> in connection with alleged vandalism of the reflecting pool. Trump has <u>claimed<\/u> the alleged vandals \u201ccut and butchered a 350 foot long strip\u201d in the pool, though he has not provided evidence to back up these claims. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1224\">Could More Epstein Files Be Released Today?

Trump also planned to close the Kennedy Center in July for two years of renovations, but a judge temporarily blocked his effort in May, saying the Trump-appointed board\u2019s decision to close was made based on a \u201cone-sided presentation of information\u201d without properly considering its \u201cfull range of its statutory obligations.\u201d That same ruling also mandated the center remove Trump\u2019s name from the building and all digital materials. Trump has also proposed building a 250-foot arch in Washington, though the project is facing a <u>challenge<\/u> from Democratic lawmakers who say Trump needs approval from Congress. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1222\">Northern Lights Forecast: Aurora Could Be Visible In Northern States Today\u2014Days After Powerful X-Class Solar Flare<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>further reading<\/h2>\n<p><u>Trump Claims Reflecting Pool Now In \u2018Full Use\u2019<\/u> (Forbes)<\/p>\n<p><u>Federal Judge Demands Answers About Tarps Blocking Kennedy Center Sign<\/u> (Forbes)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington D.C.\u2019s National Mall is hosting a full program of celebrations for America\u2019s 250th birthday, but landmarks like the reflecting pool and White House are still lined with fencing and scaffolding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>As America Turns 250, Washington, D.C.
