Protesters across the United States are set to gather for 'No Kings' demonstrations opposing President Donald Trump's leadership, which organizers warn is steering the country toward authoritarianism. The rallies, expected to be the largest since Trump's return to the White House, come amid a prolonged government shutdown and escalating tensions between the executive branch and Congress. Republican leaders have dismissed the protests as radical and blame them for the ongoing shutdown, while Democratic leaders and activists frame the events as a patriotic stand for constitutional values and American freedom. With over 2,600 rallies planned nationwide, organizers say the movement is uniting opposition and signaling renewed resolve among Democrats and their allies.
