“DOGE: Department of Greed and Evil,”

MPR's coverage was quite a lot different than WCCO's, which had the ludicrous MN Republican Party comment in full

It was at least twice as big as the 2017 Women's March, and as I rode the Green Line to the Capitol, there were people standing on street corners holding up signs and waving.

The estimated attendance was a MINIMUM of 25,000. Some say more.
