Forecasters warn of 鈥榙amaging wind gusts鈥� during parade

In addition to the flood watch in place until 11 p.m. ET, the National Weather Service says that gusting winds could roll through the Washington area.

The White House has said that the parade goes on rain or shine, but lightning could bring things to a halt.

Hours ahead of the parade, crowds of protesters with anti-Trump signs marched toward the White House, escorted by police vehicles and officers on bicycles. Some held a giant banner that read: 鈥淭RUMP MUST GO NOW.鈥�

The parade was added just a few weeks ago to the planned celebration of the Army鈥檚 birthday and has drawn criticism for its price tag of up to $45 million and the possibility that the lumbering tanks could tear up city streets. The Army took聽聽to protect the streets, including laying metal plates along the route.

About 6 in 10 Americans said Saturday鈥檚 parade was 鈥渘ot a good use鈥� of government money. The vast majority of people, 78%, said they neither approve nor disapprove of the parade overall, according to a poll from聽.

The daylong display of America鈥檚 Army comes as Trump showed willingness to use the nation's military might in ways other U.S. presidents typically avoided, inviting an聽聽and accusations that he is politicizing the military. In the past week, he activated the聽聽and dispatched the U.S. Marines to provide security during Los Angeles protests related to immigration raids, prompting a state lawsuit to stop the deployments.

This past week, Trump also raised eyebrows during a聽聽when members of the 82nd Airborne Division, who were directed to stand behind Trump, booed and聽, including condemnation of his predecessor, Joe Biden. There also was a pop-up 鈥淢ake America Great Again鈥� merchandise stand nearby selling souvenirs to troops in uniform.

The Defense Department has a doctrine that prohibits troops from participating in political activity while in uniform. Members of Congress and military leaders expressed concerns about the political displays during the speech at Fort Bragg.

Parade set to start at 6:30 p.m. Eastern

Saturday鈥檚 parade was expected to include about 6,600 soldiers, 50 helicopters and 60-ton聽, as well as聽聽and heightened security to match.

The parade will wind down Constitution Avenue, lined with security fencing and barriers. Army helicopters and aircraft will fly above, and the march will be capped off by a parachute jump, a concert featuring 鈥淕od Bless the U.S.A.鈥� singer Lee Greenwood and fireworks.

It remained unclear whether protests would disrupt the parade, though several hundred demonstrators assembled in the hours before. Officials said they had no indication of a security threat.

聽鈥� organizers picked the name to support democracy and speak out against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration 鈥斅犅犫�� were meant to counter what organizers say are Trump鈥檚 plans to feed his ego on his 79th birthday and Flag Day.

Ahead of a聽rally and march toward the White House on Saturday afternoon, about 200 protesters assembled in northwest Washington鈥檚 Logan Circle and handed out signs and danced to upbeat music from a local street band, including 鈥淭his Land Is Your Land.鈥�

The mood was celebratory as the group chanted 鈥淭rump must go now鈥� before erupting in cheers.

A larger-than-life puppet of Trump聽鈥斅燼 caricature of the president wearing a crown and sitting on a golden toilet 鈥斅爓as wheeled through the crowd.

Other protesters waved pride flags and hoisted signs, some with pointed messages such as 鈥淚 prefer crushed ICE,鈥� referring to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Other messages were: 鈥淭he invasion was HERE Jan. 6th, NOT in L.A.鈥� and 鈥淔lip me off if you鈥檙e a FASCIST."

With rain expected, there was a chance the parade could be interrupted by thunderstorms.

The Army expects as many as 200,000 people could attend the festival and parade.

The parade is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. EDT, but parts of it 鈥� including the horse-drawn caissons and other units 鈥� start at the Pentagon, head over a bridge and meet up with some of the heavier tanks and equipment. Officials did not want the more-than-60-ton M1A1 Abrams tanks and Stryker vehicles crossing the bridge.

Timed down to the聽minute, the march will be divided into sections by history 鈥� with equipment and troops in full dress from each period.

It will include a total of 6,169 soldiers and 128 Army tanks, armored personnel carriers and artillery, while 62 aircraft fly overhead.

At the end of the parade, Trump will swear in 250 new or reenlisting troops, and the Army's Golden Knights parachute team will jump onto the Mall. That will be followed by a concert and fireworks.

Intermittent light rain fell as sign-carrying marchers gathered for the flagship rally in Philadelphia's Love Park, where a woman wearing a foam Statue of Liberty crown brought a speaker system and led an anti-Trump singalong, changing the words 鈥測oung man鈥� in the song 鈥淵.M.C.A.鈥� to 鈥渃on man.鈥�

Karen Van Trieste, a 61-year-old nurse who drove up from Maryland, said she grew up in Philadelphia and wanted to be with a large group of people showing her support.

鈥淚 just feel like we need to defend our democracy,鈥� she said. She is concerned about the Trump administration's layoffs of staff at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the fate of immigrant communities and the Trump administration trying to rule by executive order, she said.

In Charlotte, North Carolina, crowds cheered anti-Trump speakers and chanted 鈥渨e have no kings鈥� while people started to gather in front of Los Angeles City Hall, many carrying American flags as a drum circle began.

Protests are planned in聽聽across the country, from city blocks and small towns to courthouse steps and community parks, organizers said, but no events are scheduled in Washington, D.C., where the military parade will take place in the evening.

The 50501 Movement orchestrating the protests says it picked the 鈥淣o Kings鈥� name to support democracy and speak out against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration.The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.

The demonstrations come on the heels of protests that flared up across the country over federal聽聽that began last week and Trump聽聽and Marines to Los Angeles, where protesters blocked a freeway and set cars on fire.

Governors urge calm, some call聽out the National Guard

Governors and city officials vowed to protect the right to protest and to show no tolerance for violence.

Republican governors in Virginia, Texas, Nebraska and Missouri are聽聽to help law enforcement manage demonstrations.

There will be 鈥渮ero tolerance鈥� for violence, destruction or disrupting traffic, and 鈥渋f you violate the law, you鈥檙e going to be arrested,鈥� Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin told reporters Friday.

In Missouri, Gov. Mike Kehoe issued a similar message, vowing to take a proactive approach and not to 鈥渨ait for chaos to ensue.鈥�

Nebraska鈥檚 governor also signed an emergency proclamation Friday to activate his state鈥檚 National Guard, a step his office called 鈥渁 precautionary measure in reaction to recent instances of civil unrest across the country.鈥�

Organizers canceled all 鈥淣o Kings鈥� protests in聽Minnesota聽after two state lawmakers and their spouses were shot early Saturday.

Some law enforcement agencies announced they were ramping up efforts for the weekend. In California, state troopers will be on 鈥渢actical alert,鈥� which means all days off are canceled for all officers, while West Virginia鈥檚 governor put the state police and National Guard on standby.

On social media, Washington state Gov. Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, called for peaceful protests over the weekend, to ensure Trump doesn鈥檛 send military to the state.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said his administration and state police are working with police in Philadelphia ahead of what organizers estimate could be a crowd approaching 100,000 people.

Philadelphia鈥檚 top prosecutor, District Attorney Larry Krasner, warned that anyone coming to Philadelphia to break the law or immigration agents exceeding their authority will face arrest. He invoked civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. as a guide for demonstrators.

鈥淚f you are doing what Martin Luther King would have done, you鈥檙e going to be fine,鈥� Krasner told a news conference.
