The Supreme Court is WONKY but it’s also really important!

That's why I'm hosting my first Substack LIVE conversation to break it all down and to answer YOUR questions about the major cases this term.

Send me your questions for Tuesday’s discussion!

This is a view of the crowd from the press risers.

[Kirstin Garriss @ReporterGarriss]

WiFi wasn’t great during the protest so here are some videos from earlier in the day. I noticed a wide variety of people in the crowd.

[Kirstin Garriss @ReporterGarriss]

There was a small band toward the back of the protest crowd. They also led a few chants ahead of the main program for the protest.

[Kirstin Garriss @ReporterGarriss]

This is a view of the crowd from the press risers. Again, organizers tell me more than 200,000 people came out today. This is a major increase from June’s protests, most of the folks I talked with told me this was their first No Kings protest.

As you can imagine, I’m seeing a lot of Trump signs and set ups like this one.

[Kirstin Garriss @ReporterGarriss]

NOW: Senator Bernie Sanders on the main stage on:

“Brothers and sisters, this is not the end, this is just the beginning.”

[Kirstin Garriss @ReporterGarriss]

Lots of people here in DC also dressed up for the protest as well.

[Kirstin Garriss @ReporterGarriss]

NOW: Thousands of people are here in Washington, DC for the No Kings Protests. This is one of more than 2,600 demonstrations across the country and the globe in response to President Trump’s administration.

[Kirstin Garriss @ReporterGarriss]

There’s a large presence from the Free DC movement too. This is a local grassroots movement to push for statehood for DC and maintain Home Rule for the city.
