The first month of protests ends and the second one begins
The performance was part of a series of daily demonstrations that have taken place in front of the White House since President Trump’s meeting in Helsinki, Finland, with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. Monday was the 22nd night of the protests, which have been named the Kremlin Annex.
The cast members — who hailed from current and past runs of “Wicked,” “The Lion King,” “Hamilton,” “The Phantom of the Opera” and other shows — belted out songs meant to evoke a political edge or offer a tinge of hope for the hundreds of protesters who are disillusioned by Mr. Trump (who was in New Jersey during the performance). With demonstrators often singing along, the five-song set included climactic Broadway tunes such as “Do You Hear the People Sing?” from “Les Misérables” and “Everybody Rejoice/A Brand New Day” from “The Wiz.”
Ms. O’Donnell, who has been an adversary of Mr. Trump’s for more than a decade, organized the trip with James Wesley, the producer of Sirius XM’s “On Broadway,” and the show’s host, Seth Rudetsky, a fixture of the Broadway scene.

The blimps, which mock President Trump, caught international attention last month during the his visit to the United Kingdom last month.
Baby Trump Tour, a collaborative effort between Didier Jiminez-Castro, a local activist from Hillsborough, and Jim Girvan, of Branchburg, organizer of the People's Motorcade, launched a GoFundMe last month, seeking donations to purchase an oversized, inflatable balloons for use much closer to home.

And they could go anywhere in the country, Girvan said, as he's looking for good homes around the nation to adopt some of the babies.
"We want to make sure the balloons get put into good hands," he said Wednesday. "If we can locate an organization that's willing and able to have multiple events on a regional level, we're certainly going to consider that."
Girvan said organizations, rather than individuals, will be considered to receive the babies, as he wants them to get as much play as possible. Interested parties can apply at babytrumptour(at)gmail.com.
"With your help and participation, we can share these big cry-babies across America sending Donald Trump and his enablers a powerful message for the next two years if he remains in office," the organizers wrote on Facebook.

Giuliani also told Bloomberg that Mueller should “write the damn report so we can see it and rebut it,” the website reported Wednesday.
“If he doesn’t get it done in the next two or three weeks we will just unload on him like a ton of bricks,” he reportedly said.
Giuliani said in May that Mueller intended to end his probe into possible obstruction of justice on the part of Trump by Sept. 1, though the special counsel never confirmed that time frame. Giuliani also said at the time that Mueller could finish the obstruction probe if Trump sat for an interview with investigators, something the president hasn’t done.
