National Weather Service issued an extreme heat warning as high temperatures have paralyzed the east coast
Organizers of Saturday’s Independence Day parade in Washington DC abruptly canceled the event late on the eve of the event, with sweltering temperatures in the nation’s capital and on the east coast wreaking havoc on celebrations of America’s semiquincentennial.
The event, hosted by the National Park Service (NPS), was scheduled to begin at 10.30am on Saturday. But organizers said they canceled the procession due to an extreme heart warning issued by the National Weather Service (NWS).
Blistering temperatures, exacerbated by high humidity, have been crippling transport services and stressing the electricity grid for days as the 250th anniversary of the US’s Declaration of Independence on Saturday loomed. The cancellation of the parade is just the latest setback precipitated by those conditions.
Yeah, nothing to do with the piss-poor turnout.
I wish they let Trump do his speech in the thunderstorm
It’s a shame how obvious the crisis is while capitalism insists on us all fucking around. Maybe we don’t all want to find out together. Too bad, we don’t matter.
How better to mark America’s semiquincentennial then for president to shit in the pool and call the whole thing off (while blaming literally everyone else)
LOL, you just reminded me of The Last Man on Earth.
What Donvict has done to our reflecting pool reminds me of that character using the pool for a toilet…
More like lack of attendance
Nobody was gonna show up anyway.

While his supporters complain about Taylor Swift having a big wedding when she has done way more good with her money than Trump, Bezos, or Musk would ever think to do
