‘No Kings’ rallies draw crowds across US, in Europe. Springsteen headlines Minnesota demonstration
By MARK VANCLEAVE, STEVE KARNOWSKI, TODD RICHMOND and JOHN HANNAUpdated 10:01 PM CDT, March 28, 2026
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Large crowds protested Saturday against the war in Iran and President Donald Trump’s actions in “No Kings” rallies across the U.S. and in Europe. Minnesota took center stage, with thousands of people standing shoulder-to-shoulder to celebrate resistance to Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement.
Minnesota’s flagship event on the Capitol lawn in St. Paul drew Bruce Springsteen as its headliner. He and other speakers praised the state’s people for taking to the streets over the winter in opposition to a surge of U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement agents.
Springsteen performed “ Streets of Minneapolis,” the song he wrote in response to the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents. Springsteen lamented Good and Pretti’s deaths but said the state’s pushback against ICE gave the rest of the country hope.
“Your strength and your commitment told us that this was still America,” he said. “And this reactionary nightmare, and these invasions of American cities, will not stand.”
People rallied from New York City, with almost 8.5 million residents in a solidly blue state, to Driggs, a town of fewer than 2,000 people in eastern Idaho, a state Trump carried with 66% of the vote in 2024.

Senators defend two-week recess as record-breaking government shutdown drags on
While thousands of Department of Homeland Security employees have gone seven weeks without a paycheck, some lawmakers are defending a planned recess as the funding stalemate drags on.
Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., objected Monday to the idea that senators should have stayed in session until lawmakers come to an agreement to fund DHS. The Democratic lawmaker traveled to the U.S. Capitol to block potential floor action related to ending the partial government shutdown from Republicans during a planned "pro forma" session.

Scorned ex-lover accuses Sinema of 'malicious' marriage interference
Former senator Krysten Sinema could be forced to shell out tens of thousands of dollars in damages for an affair she had with her former bodyguard, after his estranged wife sued her under a 19th century law that allows jilted spouses, in a handful of U.S. states, to sue for a broken heart.
The so-called "alienation of affection" lawsuits are currently recognized in just six U.S. states — including North Carolina, where Sinema’s former bodyguard, Matthew Ammel, had lived with his now-estranged wife, Heather Ammel, for roughly a decade.

Internet erupts over 'disqualifying' leaked audio from Democrat in key Senate race discussing Khamenei's death
A Michigan Democrat running for U.S. Senate is facing backlash after a report on leaked audio showing him explaining why he shouldn’t take a public position on the death of former Iran Supreme Leader Khamenei because of people in Dearborn, Michigan, who are "sad."

Washington — The shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, now the longest in history, is set to stretch on after House Republicans rejected a Senate-passed solution to the standoff late last week.
At 45 days, the DHS shutdown has surpassed last year's funding lapse to become the longest in history. Though Congress was able to fund the bulk of the government in recent months, DHS has been the exception, with Democrats demanding reforms to immigration agencies since two deadly shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Everyman host Mike Rowe called out late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for his "tone-deaf" comments mocking new Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin for being a former plumber, admitting he is a "tad butt hurt" by the dig.
The "Dirty Jobs" veteran ripped into Kimmel over his remarks, which some have called elitist.
