Sessions might fire McCabe, even though he's retiring on Sunday. That would be such a dick move. He's literally gone in three days. Like what is wrong with these people? Trying to deny him his pension. UGH

The Crown fans: Claire Foy was paid less than Matt Smith, even after accolades for her performance for season 1 came pouring in. Producers have no said that no one will be paid more than the queen... but the cast is changing and that point seems moot (Can I just say though, that I'm excited for Olivia Coleman and Helena Bonham Carter to be The Queen and Princess Margaret in season 3) Do you follow Linda Holmes from NPR? She was tweeting about this earlier. No, worth checking out?

Is there a press briefing today? I don't see it. Also with the protests going on I doubt it.

She hosts Pop Culture Happy Hour, which I used to listen to constantly. I don't always agree with her, but she's a good follow. Her tweets about The Queen, etc. earlier were in response to Judd Apatow. I guess I should have realized, but until reading the stories today, I did not know Matt Smith was on Dr Who.

This response to Linda brings up an interesting point. Was David Tennant paid more than Krysten Ritter for Jessica Jones because he was Dr. Who? I can't seem to find any data, but... things that make you go hmm. I don't know if Tennant would be considered a bigger name than Ritter given that it was an American production. Doctor Who is big in the UK, but not as big in North America (though yes, it has a rabid following). There are still plenty of people who aren't familiar with him. Ritter was in some very popular American shows for a long time - Veronica Mars, Don't Trust the B-, Breaking Bad, Gilmore Girls. She was reasonably well known before Jessica Jones. All that to say... I would hope she was paid the same/better since she's the lead. But the realist in me assumes that Tennant was paid more because he's a dude.

Ehh... I take it back. Ritter had to audition and Tennant didn't, so they definitely treated him like the bigger name from the start.

Matt Smith is even less well known, I think — because Tennant had a big role on a FOX miniseries in 2014 — but still he (Smith) got paid more than Foy and not just in the first season, but in the second season, too. I definitely know who David Tennant is, if I can be a US audience case study

Nikki Haley is set to address the poisoning of the Russians. This should be a real good time. I'm already angry and shouty today. I'm sure this will help the matter.

There's apparently an active shooter situation at Northwestern right now? I'm just seeing this. I have friends that work there. I hope everyone is safe.

I feel really naive but I never thought of him as an outright liar, just dumb on topics outside of brain surgery. With a really, really bad track record when it comes to interior design both at home and at the office.

Rand Paul is saying he will do everything he can from his SFRC perch to block Pompeo. He is also appalled at Haspel’s nomination and has called her a gleeful torturer. I hope he stays consistent and doesn’t cave. I'm hoping between him and McCain that Haspel's nomination won't get approved. I feel like there is enough history with them being consistent (at least more so than others) in votes that *maybe* it could happen.
