DC experiences ‘Code Red’ air quality after massive fireworks display

Residents of Washington, DC, on Sunday briefly experienced the worst air quality of any major city in the world, according to a company that ranks pollution globally, as the capital reckoned with the aftermath of a massive, 40-minute Fourth of July fireworks show.

City officials issued a Code Red Air Quality Alert, asking residents to limit time outside, with a warning that the air is “unhealthy for seniors, kids, people with medical conditions” and that the general public may experience health issues.

DC slipped down to No. 26 on the air quality monitoring platform, IQAir, by 5:30 p.m. ET Sunday.

It was impressive, but only by shear volume. I think it would have been better with fewer bigger shells.

Who could have seen that coming?

If you said So What?  it seems Trump may want to impose his own team and leader of Smithsonian is African-American
Read last paragraph about what that leader said about not running away from history

White House report brands Smithsonian leadership as radical activists who can’t be trusted
The report comes as Trump wages an aggressive campaign to overhaul some of Washington’s most sacred cultural and historic institutions.


A White House report brands the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution, especially at the National Museum of American History, as radical activists who cannot be trusted, indicating that President Donald Trump may be preparing to install his own team.

The report released late on Independence Day by the White House Domestic Policy Council comes in the midst of Trump’s aggressive campaign to overhaul some of Washington’s most sacred cultural and historic institutions. Trump in March revealed his intention to force changes at the Smithsonian Institution with an executive order that targeted funding for programs that advanced “divisive narratives” and “improper ideology,” as he continued a broadside against culture he deems too liberal.

“The Smithsonian Institution, and the National Museum of American History in particular, under its current leadership and current interpretive ideology, cannot be trusted to tell America’s story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic,” according to the report by the council, which is led by a former top Trump speechwriter.

The authors added: “As this report shows, confirmed in the words of Museum leadership, this ideological capture has moved the Museum’s mission away from straightforward historical education and scholarship toward an extreme political activism that seeks to transform our country.”

The Smithsonian did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday.

Historian Lonnie Bunch, the Smithsonian’s current secretary, is the first African American to lead the institution. In an unrelated interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Bunch said “the notion of being a more perfect union, not the perfect union, is really what motivates me.”

“I think what I want people to understand is that there is a responsibility to continue to make those aspirations available, accessible, meaningful to a whole range of people,” Bunch said. “And that, in essence, America’s greatest strength, it’s not running away from its history, but it’s understanding how that history shaped us and continues to shape us.”

It's like the election conspiracy theories.

Baseless debunked claims of stealing election while all the time they were one trying to steal election(i.e. J-6 Insurrection)

I think Mark might have something to say about that.
