More than 100,000 attend anti-Trump protest in Washington, DC

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) speaks to more than 100,000 people during a ''Hands Off'' protest against the Trump administration's massive employment and funding cuts, and authoritarian seizure of power, in Washington, U.S., on April 5, 2025. Most of the closures and cuts have been executed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and numerous lawsuits have been filed to contest the constitutionality of DOGE and specific actions it has taken.
