Governors Ready Guard as 'No Kings' Protests Begin

Republican governors readied National Guard troops as "No Kings" protests opposing Donald Trump were planned at more than 2,500 U.S. locations, with Texas and Virginia activating their forces ahead of the rallies. Organizers, who say June’s protests drew over five million people, plan to kick off in New York at 11:00 EST and vow to challenge "authoritarianism." Trump, in a Fox News preview, rejected being called a king. Some Republicans branded the events "Hate America" rallies; Democrats condemned the Guard deployments. Solidarity marches took place in Berlin, Madrid, and Rome; celebrities are set to join.
