A huge anti-Trump rally will take to the streets of Washington DC today – the first major protest against him in the capital since he took office.

It follows a wave of peaceful protests in June under the banner “No Kings” attracted millions of Americans in thousands of towns and cities – but which avoided DC.

Ahead of the rally, Republicans have broken with their pledge to “turn down the temperature” of political rhetoric in the US – branding it a “Hate America” march, and saying those involved are linked to terror groups – none of which is true.

Between events held in 2,100 cities and towns earlier this year, between 4 and 6 million Americans turned up to protest against Donald Trump’s antidemocratic leanings.

And more are expected to turn out today – with organisers saying RSVPs for the rallies have doubled since Republicans started attacking them in public.

Here’s everything you need to know as it happens.
