Air quality is already poor in DC due to the heat. Trump's fireworks show will add to it with 40x the amount of normal 4th of July fireworks.


About those record-breaking, 850,000 fireworks Trump wants to fire off for July 4th: EXCLUSIVE (Wash Post) Fireworks on Mall (850,000 explosives) likely to cause hazardous air pollution, documents show Internal National Park Service modeling for the July Fourth show predicts dangerous pollution around the Mall and “very unhealthy” conditions across central D.C.















JUST IN: A disappointing jobs report. The US economy added 57,000 jobs in June (below expectations of 115k). Hospitality jobs decline by -61k. Plus, April and May were revised lower by -74,000. The unemployment rate fell to 4.2% --> the lowest in a year, but mainly due to a big drop in people job hunting. The bad news = Wages aren’t keeping up with inflation. Wage gains were 3.5% in the past year, which is below ~4% inflation.
