Hundreds of thousands.
Our local FOX station called the group on Wisconsin Ave , Chevy Chase DC: “large group”.
It was about 3,000 people spread at time 2-3 deep for 3 blocks

Heartbroken. Tragic that this is taking a backseat to so many other news stories. This should be front and center.

I’m shocked and outraged by the acts of political violence that unfolded in Minnesota overnight. I mourn the loss of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and I pray for the recovery of Senator John Hoffman and his wife.

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won.
This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

I had the opportunity to meet with Alexis Tsipras, the former Prime Minister of Greece, to discuss the importance of international cooperation to protect the working class, fight oligarchy, and save our planet from the ravages of climate change.

We're talking about #poverty in a country being led by the wealthiest. They don't have a clue. #survival
Doctors call it the Physiology of Poverty:
The stress of trying to survive every day breaks the mind and the body.
That's why working class people in America live SEVEN years shorter than the very wealthy.

New blood test checks for Alzheimer’s and assesses progression, study says
Procedure for patients with thinking and memory problems could help medics decide which drugs are most suitable
Researchers have developed a blood test for patients with thinking and memory problems to check if they have Alzheimer’s and to see how far it has progressed.
The team behind the work say the test could help medics decide which drugs would be most suitable for patients. For example, new drugs such as donanemab and lecanemab can help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s, but only in people in the early stages of the disease. Continue reading...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
