A large military parade showcasing American power, requested by President Donald Trump to mark the Army’s 250th anniversary, took place in Washington, D.C., featuring tanks, troops and marching bands.

Thousands of demonstrators crowded into streets, parks, and plazas across the US, blaring anti-authoritarian chants mixed with support for protecting democracy and immigrant rights.

Much of the central and eastern parts of the U.S. will experience rain showers and scattered thunderstorms, forecasters said.

No Kings” protests, including several in Michigan cities, are scheduled across the country Saturday to coincide with Trump’s planned military parade in Washington, D.C.
