## Resource

Washington D.C. is locking down like never before for its 250th anniversary, deploying tens of thousands of security forces, armored vehicles, and even possible snipers to protect hundreds of thousands of visitors. The July 4th fireworks display, now a top-tier National Security Special Event, means airport-level screenings, flight cancellations, and unprecedented precautions — all amid recent high-profile threats near the White House. Officials say they’re prepared for anything, with rehearsals already underway, even as they stress no specific threats have been confirmed. This is D.C.’s biggest security operation ever — and it’s happening right now. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
