From what I read it looked like she was often consulted as an expert, not actually taking the cases, but maybe I misread. Regardless- that is a VERY reasonable expert fee especially considering her credentials. I see higher fees from less qualified experts When I facilitated pharmaceutical webcasts, I routinely paid 4-5 figures to high level experts for >3 hours of work. $675 an hour would have been a steal for her level of expertise.

Exactly. Wtf was WaPo’s point? I would think people looking into the story would at least familiarize themselves with the field. But no, better to slam a woman for utilizing her talents and, frankly, undercharging.

This is very interesting. In theory, I suppose the EC could abolish itself if we reach a tipping point of states. Wonder what SCOTUS would do with that.

There's a literal tornado in SW and this asshole is in the Oval bragging about his trade war PDQ but we have some people in that room right now representing the folks of the industry I work for so our office is watching. This has gotten totally out of control. The people we had there last time were so pissed that he went off on a tangent, they are going to be furious today. I think I have said "What the actual fuck??" several times. As if any rational person believes anything he has Kellyanne or SHS say about his temperament at the meeting yesterday. But, the real thing WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING????

SHAKING. It was crazy. I’ve never felt anything like it.

God byjove that is scary. I'm glad you're safe. Most days I leave work at 4:00 but Mh was driving from Crystal City and called and told me to stay put; this man will drive in any kind of weather and that frightened me.

Most days I leave work at 4:00 but Mh was driving from Crystal City and called and told me to stay put; this man will drive in any kind of weather and that frightened me. I teleworked today. At 4:00 it got instantaneously dark here and I heard trash cans blowing around the neighborhood. I grabbed the cat and ran down to the basement (where my h has his office). He was like "what are you doing with the cat?" 🤣

Someone doctored footage of a Pelosi news conference by slowing down her speech to make her appear drunk.
Trump retweeted it and possibly made it his pinned tweet for a while (it’s not now so I don’t know if the pic I saw was accurate).

I only found out about this because News and Guts posted on FB about how it was fake. I wonder how many times Fox News played it. Disgusting.
