‘No Kings' Protests Across the United States
Large crowds across the country have gathered to protest the Trump administration — in major cities like Philadelphia, Atlanta, New York and Chicago and in smaller, rural communities as well. The 'No Kings' rallies, as the demonstrations were known, were planned for the same day as a military parade in Washington, D.C., that President Trump scheduled for the Army's 250th anniversary, which also coincides with his 79th birthday. In Minnesota, where a gunman shot and killed a state lawmaker and her husband, and gravely injured a state senator and his wife overnight on Saturday, demonstrators came out to protest despite the events being officially canceled. Several protesters noted that it was important to show courage on a frightening day. The demonstrations follow more than a week of large-scale protests in Los Angeles against Mr. Trump's immigration crackdown and his decision to deploy the military there.

Severe Storms Killed At Least 36. Here's What to Know About the Weather's Havoc.
Rain, snow, hail, dust, fire, tornadoes. A giant cross-country storm system last week led to one hazard after another, lashing California with an atmospheric river, fueling wildfires in Oklahoma and spawning tornadoes from Missouri to Alabama. A part of Texas felt like Mars. Huge stretches of communities across the Midwest and South were reduced to rubble. A governor lost a farmhouse to fire. And the area near a tiny town in Mississippi was struck by a tornado twice. It has all added up to a devastating mix. Since Friday, at least 36 deaths across seven states have been attributed to the storm. Officials reported at least 36 deaths across seven states that have been attributed to severe weather in the South and Midwest. Source: Official reports as of 2 p.m. Central time.
