On such a tragic day in Minnesota, it's also a reminder of the importance of local journalism. The local TV stations had coverage all day. Writers/Journalists worked for hours, and are still working, to provide information to the public. It's not an easy task.

And it matters.

Major turnout for the No Kings Day protest in Des Moines today. Around 4,000 people signed up to attend, but total attendance was likely even higher based on the crowds we saw. Attendees chanted, delivered speeches, and ended with a march around the Capitol. @weareiowa5news

Storms are rising up from Missouri. I'll be tracking the southern edge of Iowa for a chance at seeing some hail prospects through 6 PM. The environment is less favorable further north inhibiting a widespread risk further north. Additional development arrives from west later.

TRUMP: He had MS-13 on his knuckles, tattooed!

MORAN: That was photoshopped

TRUMP: Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you. But you're not being very nice.
