Military Parade in Capital on Trump’s Birthday Could Cost $45 Million, Officials Say
The parade is scheduled for June 14, the date of the Army’s 250th anniversary, and is billed as the “Army’s birthday celebration.” President Trump turns 79 that day.

A military parade planned for next month could cost up to $45 million and is expected to include up to two dozen M1 Abrams tanks rolling through the streets of Washington, two defense officials said Thursday.

The parade, according to the Army’s website, will be held on June 14, which is both the date of the Army’s 250th anniversary and President Trump’s 79th birthday.

The officials who spoke about the costs said that the estimate, previously reported by Reuters, did not include the cleanup or repairs from damage to Washington’s roads from the tank traffic. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning

OMG!!

I mean presidents of both parties deploy tanks and drop bombs, so if the argument is that tanks make us safe, Republican and Democratic presidents are hugging it out and sharing the credit.

Anyone received any guidance on WFH status in the days leading up to Saturday?

The news said Wed & Thur will be bad but Friday will be the worst and are advising everyone to avoid travel into the city if possible.

. I think the parade route shuts on Thursday night at some point but I can't find anything confirming my memory so maybe I made that up.

They were already putting up barricades today. Took me forever to get out of the city because there was fencing staged in the roads, blocking half the lanes.
