MAGA says everyone in D.C. is smiling since the Trump invasion. Let’s look at some facts: - Small retailers and restaurants report much lower foot traffic since the National Guard and federal agents began patrolling.

- Restaurant reservations have dropped by about 31% compared to the same days a year earlier. - Local shops are seeing an even steeper hit, one report estimates an 81% decline in walk-ins after the deployment began.

- In neighborhoods like Chinatown, business owners say sales are down 30–40% since the increased military and security presence. - Many say the sight of armed troops, checkpoints, and “militarized” policing makes people uneasy, or even fearful of being questioned, so they stay home.

But sure “everyone’s smiling” as Trump’s occupation tanks D.C.’s small businesses. Sarcasm, of course. If nothing changes, Chicago may soon see the same pattern.

after several members acknowledged they had misunderstood the wording of the original proposal. What a mess, they are so under qualified they don’t even understand the wording. This is dangerous. That means federal funding wouldn’t cover it, not that the vaccine is unsafe or unavailable.

If the vaccine isn’t covered under the federal program, some families would face higher out-of-pocket costs or have to get the vaccines separately instead of the single combined shot. That would lower convenience and reduce uptake, which would, in turn, leave more children unprotected!
