While turnout numbers have not yet been confirmed, organizers expected more than 9 million people to attend the events nationwide.

This is the third large-scale No Kings protest. Organizers said the first two events held in June and October of last year drew roughly 5 million and 7 million people, respectively.

Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, said on Saturday that a nationwide general strike is being planned for May 1 that will be modeled on the day of action residents of Minnesota organized in January against the brutality carried out by federal immigration enforcement officials.

Appearing at the flagship No Kings rally in Minneapolis, Levin praised the strength shown by the Minnesota protesters in the face of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) siege of their city this year, and said his organization wanted to replicate it across the country.

A past statement released by former Attorney General Bill Barr came under new scrutiny Friday after famed Jeffrey Epstein reporter Julie K. Brown flagged a series of overlooked remarks from two jail guards who were tasked with monitoring Epstein the night he died.

On August 10, 2019, the day Epstein was found dead in his New York jail cell, then-Attorney General Bill Barr released a statement on the disgraced financier’s death. Epstein’s death was ruled a suicide by hanging.

A French lawmaker torched President Donald Trump and his top officials in a scathing indictment of his second term in the White House.

Senator Claude Malhuret, who was described last year by the New York Times as "Trump's European nemesis," linked the Iran war to the U.S. president's appearance in the Jeffrey Epstein files and shamed American legislators for failing to impeach him for clearly unconstitutional conduct.

The House Ethics Committee has determined that Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) is guilty of 25 violations.

According to the allegations, Cherfilus-McCormick misused an overpayment of roughly $5 million in disaster relief funds by funneling them into her campaign. Her family's health care business received the money from FEMA.

Onlookers were left baffled early Friday after a “near-empty chamber” in the Senate managed to advance a major spending bill that would direct tens of billions of dollars to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

At around 3 a.m. Friday, the Senate adopted a bill to fund most of DHS, excluding Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, bringing lawmakers one step closer to ending the growing airport disruptions caused by the funding lapse. As noted by Punchbowl News reporter Andrew Desiderio, however, only five senators were present for the vote.

The Senate voted early Friday to approve funding for all agencies under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) other than Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), marking the first step toward ending the now 41-day partial government shutdown — and handing Democrats a victory.

“Throughout it all, Senate Democrats stood united — no wavering, no backing down,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, according to a report Friday from Punchbowl News. “We held the line.”
