paragraph_text: June 2025 military parade and “No Kings” protests
  
  On June 14, the Trump administration held the U.S. Army 250th Anniversary Parade in Washington, DC, to celebrate the anniversary of the U.S. Army and coinciding with President Trump’s 79th birthday. The parade is estimated to have cost somewhere between $25 and $45 million. In protest, Indivisible, co-directed by Ezra Levin, and other organizations organized No Kings protests in many American cities, with organizers stating that there were over 2,000 separate events. This is the largest protest since Trump was re-elected, although a CBS News/YouGov poll shows that 54% support Trump’s actions to deport persons in the country illegally and 46% oppose.
