By Ava Slocum, Emersen Panigrahi and Maya Olson | On Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025, millions of Americans poured into the streets for the second No Kings protest this year. Organizers from hundreds of national and local progressive groups say nearly 7 million people participated in about 2,700 different No Kings events. In every state, in cities big and small, protesters used signs, costumes and chants to double down on democracy and accuse President Donald Trump of behaving more like a monarch than an elected official during his first 10 months back in office.
Marchers carried “We the People” signs and references to the U.S. Constitution, including: “The Constitution is not optional,” “Democracy not monarchy” and “No kings since 1776.” Signs and chants varied by region: In New York City, protesters dressed up as the Statue of Liberty; in Florida, signs said the Florida heat would melt ICE; in Texas, marchers called for Gov. Abbott and Sen. Cruz to stand up to the Trump administration’s abuses of power.
Here are some of our favorite signs from Saturday’s No Kings protests.

By Alliance for Justice | The Nov. 4 Pennsylvania Supreme Court will determine Pennsylvanians’ access to education, protections for workers in the workplace, LGBTQ+ civil rights and gender equality, among other key issues.
Retaining the current justices on the state’s supreme court is crucial, especially after recent fights in the state over the 2030 census. The redistricting from the census could mean that states like Pennsylvania may have one less congressional seat. As of now, Pennsylvania has stable abortion access, but flipping the court could disrupt access to Pennsylvanians.

By Justin Lo, Larry Levitt, Jared Ortaliza and Cynthia Cox | Affordable Care Act (ACA) enhanced premium tax credits are set to expire at the end of this year. Based on the earlier federal data and more recent other publicly available information, KFF now estimates that, if Congress extends enhanced premium tax credits, subsidized enrollees would save $1,016 in premium payments over the year in 2026 on average. In other words, expiration of the enhanced premium tax credits is estimated to more than double what subsidized enrollees currently pay annually for premiums—a 114 percent increase from an average of $888 in 2025 to $1,904 in 2026.

This last Supreme Court term was harrowing—from momentous merits decisions about the First Amendment, parental rights, trans rights and more, to the stream of shocking “shadow docket” decisions and its enabling of many of the Trump administration’s executive actions. What does the 2025-2026 term have in store for our nation? What do we think will advance through the Court? What do we think will come up, when it comes to the shadow docket? And perhaps most importantly, how will the Court choose to mediate the Trump administration’s continued onslaught of executive actions?
