No Kings” rallies across Sacramento and surrounding counties. Also, the California Legislature passed a $325 billion budget, but faces challenges as it heads to Gov. Newsom’s desk. Finally, an Alice in Wonderland ballet in Nevada County.

Protesters began gathering early on the west steps of the state Capitol in Sacramento as a so-called “No Kings” protest against Trump administration policies, part of a nationwide day of demonstrations meant to coincide with a military parade marking the 250th anniversary of the U.

The U.S. Army celebrated its 250th anniversary on Saturday with a massive military parade in Washington, D.C., against a backdrop of political division and protests savaging President Trump.

Redding resident Mike Smith brought a U.S. flag and a sign that read “No Kings” with a crossed-out crown. An early bird, he stood in the Cypress Avenue median as cars whizzed by before the 9 a.m. demonstration officially got fully underway.

The rally outside the Capitol will feature music and speeches on the same day as a military parade in Washington, D.C. — and Donald Trump’s birthday.

Protests are set to take place in, Oakland and San Jose as part of the nationwide "No Kings" movement on Saturday.

Over a hundred “No Kings Day” rallies will take place Saturday in California to combat what protesters call the Trump administration’s "authoritarian" policies. A coalition of grassroots political organizations announced the “No Kings Day" events.

I’m really surprised and my heart is warmed by how many people are here,” 18-year-old Lea Sribar said of the demonstration at the heart of a Republican-majority county.
