A few miles from the Army festival and parade route in Washington, D.C., anti-Trump protests were beginning at Logan Circle. Similar to “No Kings” demonstrations planned around the country, this “Refuse Fascism” protest was set to march down to the White House ahead of the Army parade.

Organizers of the "No Kings" demonstrations and local officials urged demonstrators to stay home from planned protests in Minnesota on Saturday after a lawmaker and her husband were fatally shot and another lawmaker and his wife were injured at their homes. Gov. Tim Walz called the incident a “politically motivated assassination.”

The White House stepped up its criticism of Calfornia Gov. Gavin Newsom after the Demorcat attacked President Donald Trump in a nationally televised speech.

Protests across U.S. planned for same day as the Army 250th anniversary parade, and Trump's birthday, in Washington, D.C.

The curfew, which Los Angeles Mayor Bass expects to last for several days, is part of the city's strategy to quell ongoing looting and vandalism.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is holding a press briefing at 1 p.m. On Tuesday, the Trump administration deployed 700 Marines to Los Angeles to maintain law and order amid the riots in the city's downtown area.

The parade is expected to include about 6,600 soldiers, 50 helicopters and 60-ton M1 Abrams battle tanks, as well as possibly 200,000 attendees and heightened security to match.
