The Latest: Danny Glover Tells Black Caucus: Push For Change

The actor described Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as a fascist and said citizens have to turn out to vote to defeat him. Philadelphia's police commissioner says he was pleased with how police and protesters handled the first day of protests at the Democratic National Convention, but he compared Sunday to a "scrimmage game." The commissioner says heat ranks high on his list of concerns as the city experiences an oppressive heat index above 100 degrees. Ross says his officers on bikes were "hardcore" Sunday and he couldn't get them to take breaks in air conditioning. Busloads of activists are expected to march Monday across the Ben Franklin Bridge, most of them supporters of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Sanders supporters are angry over hacked emails that reveal the DNC might have favored Clinton over Sanders during the party's presidential primaries. Protesters are gearing up outside Philadelphia's City Hall for a long, hot day of marches and rallies on the opening day of the Democratic National Convention. Members of Equality Coalition, which supports the beliefs of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, are arranging to have hundreds of spray bottles filled with water to hand out to protesters. Volunteers will be handing out water all week to demonstrators as the region copes with an oppressive heat wave.
