On Sunday night, authorities arrested Vance Boelter, the alleged gunman who assassinated Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark in their home early Saturday. Authorities say he also shot State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette in their home, but they survived and are in stable condition. Officials say he left a list of politicians, abortion rights supporters, doctors, and Planned Parenthood officials at the scene. He also had No Kings papers in his fake police car, according to Fox 9.
More than five million people in all 50 states took to the streets to oppose the Trump administration's authoritarianism on Saturday, according to No Kings organizers. People in large and small towns say they’ve never seen so many people on the streets.
As millions took to the streets, Donald Trump’s military parade rolled past sparse crowds, according to The New Yorker. It reportedly cost $45 million.
