Fox News Digital's own investigation identified 287 groups in France's protest network, including 50 self-described Antifa organizations, and 649 planned "Acte II" protest actions ahead of the National Rally congress in Orléans.
Brazil's last presidential run-off was in October 2022 between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and then-President Jair Bolsonaro; there is no current run-off between Lula and "Senator Flavio Bolsonaro" (Jair Bolsonaro's son Flávio is a senator).

BYou're on the Washington desk — biggest stories right now, France is bracing for protests, and Trump says he ordered a lawsuit.
BLet's start in France. Fox News did its own count ahead of the National Rally congress — and found nearly 300 groups planning action this weekend.
BThey say 50 of those groups call themselves Antifa. Organizers have 649 separate actions planned.
BThis is a big deal because the National Rally, Marine Le Pen's party, is holding its congress in Orléans. That's where these protests are targeting.
BAnd Fox's reporter, Asra Nomani, just put out this investigation. It's their own count — nobody's confirming it independently yet, but that's a lot of organized action.
BOne thing to watch: France has seen massive street protests before. The question is whether these groups can actually disrupt the congress.
BMeanwhile, Trump with a quick one. He says he ordered a lawsuit over Alaska's elections. His exact words: "I'm the one."
BThat's from Politico. He's claiming direct involvement in challenging how Alaska runs its elections. No details yet on what exactly the lawsuit says.
BHe's been angry about ranked-choice voting in Alaska before. Could be about that.
BWe'll have more as that develops. Also this hour, Brazil — but we need to correct something.
BThere's a post going around saying Brazil is holding a presidential run-off today between Lula and "Senator Flavio Bolsonaro." That's not right.
BBrazil's last run-off was in 2022 — Lula against Jair Bolsonaro. The senator is Flávio, his son, and he's not on a presidential ballot today.
BSomeone's got their names mixed up.
BBig picture: protests in France, a lawsuit in Alaska, and a correction on Brazil. Lots more coming this hour.
