Where Are Anti-Trump Protests Expected on Wednesday?
The number of planned protests suggests that the demonstrations that began last Friday in Los Angeles are likely to keep expanding to new cities. Activists in many cities are planning protests for Saturday as part of the 'No Kings' movement, which opposes the Trump administration. That is also the day of a planned military parade in Washington to celebrate the Army's 250th birthday.
Here is a partial list of cities where protests are planned for Wednesday.
Los Angeles: A sixth day of protests is planned downtown and near federal buildings after Mayor Karen Bass declared an overnight curfew for downtown.
Eugene, Ore.: Several groups including the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which calls for the end of capitalism, said they planned to hold a solidarity protest in the city.
Mission Viejo, Calif.: A protest is planned for Orange County, according to the local branch of the 50501 Movement, which says it formed as a decentralized response to the Trump administration's 'anti-democratic' actions.
Raleigh, N.C.: Hundreds of people are expected to gather in downtown Raleigh on Wednesday evening, according to the local NBC affiliate WRAL, spurred in part by anger over a state immigration bill.
San Antonio: Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas has deployed National Guard troops to San Antonio ahead of a major protest planned on Wednesday, according to The San Antonio Express-News.
Seattle: The Party for Socialism and Liberation is among the groups behind a planned 'ICE Out' protest in the city against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency that has conducted immigration raids.
St. Louis: A 'NO ICE' protest is planned, according to the group 50501.

Trump Pushes Republicans to Pass Stalled Megabill
WASHINGTON—President Trump exhorted holdout House Republicans to get behind his sprawling tax-and-spending bill early Thursday, after the party's effort to pass it ran into stubborn resistance from a handful of rank-and-file members. On Wednesday evening, five GOP lawmakers—Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Keith Self of Texas, Victoria Spartz of Indiana, Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania—voted with Democrats against a procedural 'rule' vote, blocking the party, at least for the moment, from proceeding to final passage. A handful of other Republicans held back from voting.

Paramount and Trump in 'Advanced' Settlement Talks As Merger Deadline Nears
A deal to settle a lawsuit from President Trump against CBS News over its handling of a 60 Minutes interview could be close. Lawyers for both sides moved to pause all proceedings until Thursday, citing 'good faith' and 'advanced' settlement discussions, according to a court document filed on Monday. More from The Hollywood Reporter Canada Scraps Digital Services Tax After Trump Trade Talks Threat Trump "Terminating" U.S.-Canada Trade Talks Over Streaming Tax That's It, The F-Word Is Officially Boring The move comes ahead of the merger termination deadline on July 7. If the deal isn't completed by then, a second 90-day extension would expire on Oct. 6. In the scenario that the transaction isn't greenlit at that point, it's believed that Paramount and Skydance will abandon the deal rather than seek another extension. The holdup involves the Federal Communication Commission's refusal to transfer Paramount's broadcast licenses. The dispute has influenced Paramount's approach to a lawsuit accusing it of deceptively editing an interview with Kamala Harris. A mediator recently proposed a $20 million settlement to resolve the lawsuit, with the majority going to Trump's presidential foundation, The Wall Street Journal reported, which noted that Trump has insisted on an apology. It's been reported that CBS offered as much as $15 million. Trump's legal team faced a Monday deadline to reply to CBS' motion to compel discovery. 'The Parties respectfully submit that good cause to stay all proceedings exists because the Parties are engaged in good faith, advanced, settlement negotiations,' reads the filing. Absent a deal, the court is expected to rule on CBS' bid to dismiss the lawsuit in the coming months. In that filing, the network argued that the complaint is an 'affront to the First Amendment' and that Trump is looking to 'punish a news organization for constitutionally protected editorial judgments they do not like.' The pathway to Skydance's acquisition of Paramount getting approved involves a settlement of the 60 Minutes lawsuit, after which the FCC will approve the transfer of the broadcast licenses.
