Episode notes
No Kings Protests Were Large And Organized

Watch Court Dates Affecting Guard Deployments
- The White House has asked the Supreme Court to allow National Guard deployments to continue in some cities while litigation proceeds.
- Monitor upcoming court dates (e.g., November 3rd) and Supreme Court actions for potential changes in deployments.
