What's left for the Supreme Court to decide? 21 cases, including state bans on transgender care
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is in the homestretch of a term that has lately been dominated by the Trump administration's emergency appeals of lower court orders seeking to slow President Donald Trump's efforts to remake the federal government.
But the justices also have 21 cases to resolve that were argued between December and mid-May, including a push by Republican-led states to ban gender-affirming care for transgender minors. One of the argued cases was an emergency appeal, the administration's bid to be allowed to enforce Trump's executive order denying birthright citizenship to U.S.-born children of parents who are in the country illegally.

Vancouver 'No King' rally reinforces support for American protests against Donald Trump
Langley's Carly Butler held a megaphone Saturday morning as hundreds of demonstrators gathered at downtown Vancouver's Jack Poole Plaza, protesting what organizers call the authoritarian drift of U.S. President Donald Trump. The 37-year-old, born in California, was brought to Canada by her mother in 1998 and spent most of her youth living in Northern B.C. as an undocumented immigrant. 'I lived in fear every day, I had no status and I kept that secret for years. I could not legally get a job,' Butler told the crowd, recounting how she was able to finally obtain Canadian citizenship 15 years ago. 'Right now, I am speaking up for my undocumented friends in the States who are afraid to leave their houses right now.' 1 of 28 Full Screen is not supported on this browser version.

At the plaza, rows of demonstrators held up signs that read: 'Peaceful but not passive,' 'Orange Lies Matter,' 'I'm not tariff-ied, I'm Fuhrious,' alongside others calling for 'Humanity not tyranny.' The Vancouver demonstration, dubbed No Kings, was one of several held in Canada, in addition to thousands more across the U.S. as officials urged calm and mobilized National Guard troops before a military parade marking the U.S. army's 250th anniversary, which coincides with Trump's birthday. The protest follows U.S. unrest sparked by federal immigration enforcement raids and Trump's order to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars ablaze. A few blocks away, a second protest had about 300 demonstrators line the sidewalks in front of the U.S. Consulate on Pender Street. Amid chants, one protester wrote the words 'Immigrants built North America' in bold green chalk on the pavement. Vancouver's Anita Feldman held up a sign with the word 'RESIST.' Feldman said she came out to protest U.S. turmoil and what she called Trump's 'obfuscation of power.' Protests were scheduled in nearly 2,000 locations across the U.S., though none were planned in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place Saturday evening. The 50501 Movement orchestrating the protests says it picked the No Kings name to support democracy and speak out against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement. In Minnesota, concerns about protests intensified following a pair of politically motivated shootings involving Democratic lawmakers and their spouses. State Patrol Col. Christina Bogojevic urged Minnesotans to avoid the planned demonstrations 'out of an abundance of caution.' Bogojevic's warning came after former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her spouse were fatally shot in their Brooklyn Park home early Saturday. In a separate attack, Senator John Hoffman and his wife were in their home when they were shot several times. They remain in the hospital. The suspect, who remained at large, was found in possession of 'No Kings' flyers. In response, organizers with the 50501 Movement announced the cancellation of all Saturday demonstrations planned across Minnesota. With files from The Associated Press sgrochowski@

Military parade barrels through nation's capital with tanks, troops and 21-gun salute
WASHINGTON (AP) — The grand military parade that President Donald Trump had been wanting for years barreled down Constitution Avenue on Saturday with tanks, troops and a 21-gun salute, playing out against the counterpoint of protests around the country by those who decried the U.S. leader as a dictator and would-be king. The Republican president, on his 79th birthday, sat on a special viewing stand south of the White House to watch the display of American military might, which began early and moved swiftly as light rain fell and dark clouds shrouded the Washington Monument. The procession with more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks was one Trump tried to make happen in his first term after seeing such an event in Paris in 2017, but the plans never came together until this year, when the parade was added to an event recognizing the Army's 250th anniversary.
