The rallies were "just reinforcement of the view that Donald Trump should not be given a blank check to continue his lawless activities," Sen. Chris Van Hollen said.

A second round of "No Kings" demonstrations are planned for Saturday, Oct. 18. Here's where events are scheduled in Washington state.

Dozens of "No Kings" rallies are scheduled across western Washington for Saturday, Oct. 18, from Bellingham to Vancouver, to the San Juan Islands.

The largest "No Kings" protest in the PNW is scheduled to take place in Seattle Saturday, along with other rallies across the state.

The Washington Post editorial board in a new column says the 'No Kings' protests, like the tea party of 2009, are a warning to the president.

Protesters flooded into streets chanting, marching and waving homemade signs. Organizers said nearly 7 million people showed up for the demonstrations across the country.

More "No Kings Day" protests come amid a partial government shutdown and as Trump sends, or threatens to send, National Guard troops to Democrat-led cities.

The big picture: The typical attendee at the D.C. protest was an educated white woman in her 40s who heard about the event either through friends or via Instagram, according to preliminary data collected by American University researchers who track protest movements.

Demonstrators gathered in Washington, D.C., to take part in the nationwide “No Kings” protests over what organizers call President Trump’s “crackdowns on First Amendment rights.” Millions of people are expected to protest across the country.
