United States Latest News, United States Headlines

Elizabeth Warren — under pressure from rival Pete Buttigieg to reveal her past compensation from corporate clients — announced Sunday that she's received $1.9 million from private legal work since 1986.

Orthman said that the compensation figures were gathered from “public records, Elizabeth’s personal records, and other sources” but POLITICO was not able to independently verify the compensation.

That is just 60,000 a year for 33 years

Thats... not actually that much.

I'm confused.. She wasn't even in politics until just recently.. So how is this a problem.. There wasn't even the pretence of any corruption since she wasn't in politics at all

So the headline is saying she's a better option than Trump

Hypocrisy

It’s for work done, not a donation or contribution.

Sounds like she got underpaid.

Seriously, Politico … oh, wait, this must be a story about pay inequity, even at the highest socio-economic levels. Got it. DoBetter ElizabethWarren 2020Election ewarren

..AND? What's the freaking fuss about a lawyer having corporate clients & then starting a political career? I honestly don't see the fuss...

Over 33 years?

since 1986...do the math

Meanwhile, PeteButtigieg flatly declines keeping big money out of politics.

That’s 33 years....did you guys do the math?

At least she showed her earnings unlike the current occupant of the White House

Over 33 years. This is a non-story.

So she made less than I do per year

So, basically 69,000~ a year? Ok.

Who cares what’s your f’ing point?

Still underpaid.

About 66k a year. Which is about the norm for legal work. So what's the issue again?

Trump's supporters freaking about this when he is fighting in the courts to keep ALL HIS TAX RETURNS SECRET YOU FUCKING WITH ME

1.9 million in 3 DECADES COME ON 🙄

Since 1986. The patriarchy is real, folks.

Will she give it back to those nasty big corporations?

Nothing but the best from Politico...

New: Sen. Elizabeth Warren disclosed receiving just under $58k per year since 1986 for legal work, including earnings from large corporate clients. Fixed it for you.

Hit piece

So about $57,575 dollars a year?

Wtf politico. Shit headline. Shit tweet. Shit story.

And what is your point? It's like you're suggesting there's something crooked about it. There isn't. This is just pathetic reporting. She's a lawyer who's allowed to make money. And for a lawyer, that's a very modest amount of money for that period of time.

$1.9 million divided by 33 is $57,575.76 She earned $58k per year as a 'large corporate lawyer'. The fact that you call this newsworthy is fucking nauseating and a grave indictment of the state of affairs in this country. I hope you're still capable of feeling shame.

Well there you go, women always get paid less than men for the same job. Senator Warren was underpaid for her work.

Yawn

Yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwn. Warren2020

So to quote several hundred others, your point being? Roughly 60k per year isn't much for a lawyer, wouldn't you say? Or was that, perhaps, your point?

Politico, shame. You claim to write the truth but twist it to falsity.

WTF headline is this?! No shit she made $2m over the course of 30+ years!

So, $52k over 36 years...

Soooo she had a job that paid her an average of $57,000 a year...

Smart people often earn high fees for their expert services.

Once again we find another woman doing the same job as many of her male counterparts and being paid far less than them. This is the sort of inequality that HAS to change. But it won't while rich old men sit in the Oval Office, Congress and the House.

That’s $58K/year. Must not be VERY big corporate clients...or she needs to raise her rates.

Does anyone see whats going on here legal work my ass this so called teacher in my eyes is a thief and liar she is now in the pockets of corporate america . war makes them money Not a one works for the AMERICAN PUBLIC vote for me I want to get rich screw you

By East Coast standards that's not even upper middle class. Wow. Thought she would have made more.

Good for her!

So what?

Really? That is the headline? So $66K a year? Wow. What a monster.

Thats not alot

What is the story here? This is a woman who worked, was underpaid and is now seriously trying to make our country a better place.

That's over *calculates* 33 years, honey.

ewarren released her taxes from 1986 that's 33 years ago. trump hasn't released one year tax returns. Why hasn't realDonaldTrump released his taxes from 1986 - 2018?

So?

That just sounds like she was an underpaid & non-corrupt attorney. What is the point of this article?

This is even bigger than the new coke scandal of the 80s. My heavens.

Do the math. Big deal.

all good.

Um...I would hope ANYONE would have made this after over 30 years of working. WTF kind of journalism is this?

OMG a lawyer making money, disgraceful.

That’s about 59 grand a year. Very low for a qualified attorney.

A bunch of sexist malarkey.

From 1986. 32 years of hard work. About $59,000. About the same as a full time nurse. What's the big deal?

Holy shit, Warren makes $57,575 a year.

57k/ year. This is indeed criminal that a woman should be paid so little over three course of 3 decades.

Your point? She's a well respected attorney who gets paid for her expertise.

I make more money as a millwright ffs

She's not the remedy, she's part of the problem.

That's a piddling amount, all things considered. Get a life.

So what?

And... Big deal. Nobody can make money but Trump, I guess.

So BFD.

Wow, that's so little. So what you're saying is women should be paid more? Thats like $58k a year. I earned more than that a year working as an industrial mechanic. That didn't involve going to an expensive law school. Trump's spent over $100 million on golf trips.

Good for her.

Let me fix this. OVER THIRTY YEARS Elizabeth Warren earned income, less than $70K a year. Seems she, like many women, was underplayed given her experience and credentials.

This is shockingly low for a lawyer doing private legal work over that kind of span of time.

Warren had a job for the past few decades that netted her about $60,000 a year--terrible scandal, according to trash publications like yours. Ocasio-Cortez worked as a bartender and was poor--terrible scandal, according to trash publications like yours. Women can never win.

$66K is entry level attorney salary. Sit down Rs.

Woman got paid $60,000 a year for legal work. OMG, what a scandal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your misogynistic agenda is showing, Politico.

I don't get it... Do you want it to be a bad thing? Because it's not... And I'm a huge Berner. So...

If she were a Republican candidate, wouldn't the headline sound more disappointed?

TL;DR, it’s a whopping ~$66k/year.

So this is news? I think you mean she made 57K per year. Just irresponsible

Are you kidding me? 30 years and less than 2 million? Chicken feed for someone of her caliber.

Now, divide that by 33 years

Love her!!! Warren2020

So? She is a lawyer.

So what? Seems to me, she was grossly underpaid.

Looks like she’s on stilts

Over a 30 year period, doing work that was legal and ethical. So your point is...?

over 33 years. averages $58k/year.

And

That’s 33 yrs of work. Do you know how to divide?

SINCE 1986?! STOP THE PRESSES! LAWYER EARNS SOME MONEY!

You are terrible

This is: A. Not new B. Not news Delete this nonsense.

AND...?!

Good for her, imagine how much more she could have earned if she was in an equal pay scale with men

Over how many years, again?

That's a 33 year stretch of time. It's laughable that this is supposed to make her look 'corrupt' or just vaguely bad.

So a licensed, practicing lawyer was paid to advocate on behalf of her clients, and she disclosed the earnings. If only a certain, current occupant of the White House would disclose his earnings for the past 30 years. trumpIsACorruptLiar TrumpIsADisgrace

Jeez! I've made more in the last 15 years than Warren made in the last 30! And I'm just a lowly artist selling my work on shirts and totes.

Jesus hopping christ on a pogo stick. You don't say.

'Highly capable woman makes a living'. Now let's talk about Hillary's emails...

Uh-huh... and🤷🏿‍♂️ Even $1.9 million over 5 years isn't scandalous for someone with her skillset. Or is it because she😱 worked for corporations?!? Escándalo!🙄

And....

Cool, now do Trump.

OMG she's one of them...a rich person.

That’s all she made? Wow. Would be 6x that amount if she was a man. Sad.

EmbarrassinglyUnderpaid

Media: How many times did SenWarren - disclose tax records; file for bankruptcy; shut down businesses; shaft employees & contractors; hire undocumented workers; pay off porn stars; self-deal; appoint unqualified family to manage national affairs; lie; cheat charities? CREWcrew

30+ plus years getting paid 70% what a man would have been paid. (Do better Politico)

Do the math. Since 1986.

*over almost 30 years

At least you guys mentioned the 30 years...

how is this a story

Showing that she was massively underpaid for her work. A white man would have whined incessantly if only paid that amount for 30 years work.

That is what attorneys do. Work for money. Try writing about corruption instead of someone making an honest living.

Wow - roughly 67k/yr for legal work! Shocking! I mean it’s shocking how much you guys are trying to stop the change she would bring to office

$1.3M more than previously disclosed. Seems she only did so because of pressure from Buttigieg.

And?

BREAKING: Woman Made Money!!!

That's like... $58,000 per year. Wow so rich, much money.

She made over a million from work over thirty years, oh noes

Waiting for your investigation into trump $$. Or Ivanka, or Jared and 666 Fifth Ave..oh wait...

Wal-Mart Greeter Reports Making $1.2M Over 40-Year Period! 😑

Sen. Warren Made About $60k/year as Attorney*

Is this legal? She makes decions that affect these corporations.

Women getting paid In this economy

Yes, presidential candidates should disclose information about their earnings, tax returns, etc...

Old news PeteButtigieg I have respect for so many on the the democratic stage. Try it. You may get some votes. Save the fighting for Trump. WhyYouShouldntBePresident

OMG!!! SHOCKING!!! SENATOR WARREN RECIEVED OVER $1.9 MILLION BETWEEN 1986 TO 2019! GASP! LEGAL WORK! HORRORS! WHATEVER SHALL WE DO?!? FIND OUT AT 8:00 ON THIS HORRIFYING REVELATION OF NON-NEWS!

A woman made less than appropriate amounts of money doing a job well done. Shocking. She should have made more.

So- don’t most of us work for corporations? Doesn’t mean we don’t recognize-and need to take some power from them.

Ace journalism. 😂😂😂

Incredibly dishonest headline. I expect this kind of partisan misinformation from conservative rags, but this is a new low from you all.

Over the course of 30 years, idiots.

Come on..over 30 years. Get a life . Report properly instead of click bait

Warren earned that pay.

You mean she worked and got paid? 🤷🏼‍♀️ and ? Great.. breaking news... whatever..

Averaging $53,000/year for God's sake. Let's get real Politico, seriously.

Let me fix the headline for you...Warren says she “ONLY” made 1.9 million from private legal work since 1986.... there you go!

Over 30 years. Over 30 years. Over 30 years.

So what? She’s entitled to work.

She got paid about 60,000 a year over a thirty year period. Misleading headline. Do better.

Now do “affordable” university income 🤔🤔🤔

Wow, 1.9M in 33 years..... just think how much she could have made in 33 years if she had been a dude!

All the people doing math on this from 86-19 are missing the fact she stopped practicing about halfway through those years. So double those numbers from ~60k to ~120k, and it’s still a nothing burger.

Breaking news. She got paid to work.

How much has a man her age received from private legal work since 1986?

What's with the headline, Politico? You insinuate she is not trustworthy, yet she is answering questions. In the normal world, this would be news, but we're in Trump bizarro world, where he won't even show his grades, much less his tax returns, and lies about everything else!

Maybe you should rewrite the headline to say Warren earns an average of $57,000 per year from outside legal work.

This is a gd joke! $1.9M over 32 years.... do the math. That is less than $60,000/yr. Do better!

I wouldn’t vote for her but she does have right to practice law.

If Republicans are okay with trump not releasing his tax history, why must Democrats stay to this precedent?

JohnOSullivan36 They hide their funds and expect you to believe them. I don’t trust Bernie or Warren period. And she doesn’t have six billion dollars to make her health care insurance work. It’s a lie.

Over 30 years. You forgot that in the headline. Crappy editors or click-trolling idiots? Or both?

Seriously, this is “newsworthy”?

1986-2019 = 33 years That's an average of 57,575.76 per year. Not striking at all. Kinda low actually...

JohnOSullivan36 She worked as an attorney and charged money for it? Breaking news

One article I read long ago: Warren was a corporate atty and fought against women who had faulty breast implants. I have found her smarmy for many many years. Not a fan.

helensita57 Glad to see she worked for her living, earned a reasonable lawyer wage and is not beholden to those attending secret fund raising campaign events...a la Trump and Buttigieg.

Good for her

Can we move on now back to fighting Trump and focusing on issues that matter to us? I don't think the purity tests being the only focus is productive.She doesn't need to prove herself her record speaks..own it

So she made peanuts

gailgirl66 Ridiculous. How much has trump earned?

How dare she work and get paid!!

So?

JohnOSullivan36 Also know as person earns a living.

SheWasUnderpaid

JohnOSullivan36 So you’re trying to be as pathetic as theshill ?

I made more building cabinetry. 🤷🏼‍♂️

JohnOSullivan36 I could care less unless it was from Russian oligarchs.

gailgirl66 So 33yrs of wages for legal work in America? Seems ok to me

Over 30 years-please

Over 3 decades please

What about the 12 million in 8 years? What about her daughter having a Hunter Biden job on a George Soros board. George bought her and her family long ago. Liz is in deep corruption and lies. If Soros calls she never swipes it.

So... 58k per year for a lawyer? So she's undercharging? Warren start charging more!

Wow it seems shocking to you (based on your headline) that women can make money. Do better . PS-look forward to your call to all candidates to release their tax returns. Thank you!

Wow, a Harvard professor earned $1.9M over 30 years. It like that never happened before.

Now do all the GOP candidates in Congress.

This is not all that much.

Less than $60k/year for 33 years...I think your headline is describing what a job is, no?

On top of the 200k a year salary from Harvard she obtained by falsifying her heritage?

'So what?' 'It was a long time ago' 'What about Trump?' If you find yourself saying any of these phrases, you don't understand the point of a primary and why this is a problem. She's been helping the people she claims to be against. Her record makes her completely untrustworthy.

so elizabeth warren made a living? how terrible of her 🙄

These two knuckleheads better get it together instead of creating Republican talking points. Unfortunately the Dem candidates will eat themselves like in 2016.

This kind of moronic reporting is why we can’t have nice things.

Yeah, so?

So her crime was... Having a job? Colour me shocked.

Swing. And miss.

66k on avg per year. This is a bad headline.

WhiteLotus3_9 More power to her.

This headline is dumb and misleading

This is idiotic 😂😂😂😂

What is the point here?

Same. And?

So, she worked for a living for decades. That's much more than the trust fund babies have ever worked. And, just how has MoscowMitch become so wealthy?

My dad made $60k a year as an assistant professor in a mid-sized state school in the PNW 30 years ago. If he'd stayed in the job he would've made more than Warren by now.

Libs lie, always

This is spam

This is what's called 'ethical behavior' - disclosure, disclosure, disclosure; what DJT and team have no idea what it means.

So?

Delete your account. Seriously, the only news here is that a woman was underpaid for a career of legal work. In BOSTON, no less!

SO WHAT... you make it sound dirty...🤮🤮🤮😡😡🇺🇸🇺🇸

VirginiaBloom9 So what!

chrisjollyhale The math here in the comments is assuming she’s provided legal work every year. Could be more contractual on a more sporadic basis

gailgirl66 So what?! This is ridiculous to try to shame her for making money!!

GOOD FOR HER. SHE PROBABLY DESERVED MORE. NOT A STORY.

gailgirl66 Think you mean earned

Omg. But her emails! Ffs. Any of you journos at politico/wp make a lot - a lot more - would that exclude you from candidating? Just a question. What's the limit ? If you work in the private sector? 30k/year? And btw totally disingenuous lead headline.

VA hospitals are very low efficiency, the system is stiff. Veterans are always delayed for treatments.

gailgirl66 So?

Even aggressive toxic Bernie bro’s can’t spin this, right?

1986? That's not much for a lawyer over 33 years..

So? What were the sources of Comrade Trump's earnings?

I am so glad they paid her for her professional work!

1.9m over 30+ years? That's like $50-60k a year.

Now ask Ivanka how much she made in 2019.

1.9m / 33 years = 57k a year (before tax). for a lot of the work she wasn't even compensated. she charged what most top lawyers charge. enough with the clickbait headlines.

Senator Warren received payment for services rendered.

Oh the outrage!!!!! My Gawd! She took home $55,882.35/ year on legal work! Literally unbelievable man… Holy shit what a statistic! can y’all please GYFOH with headlines like this, and perhaps do some actual journalism?

Wow. She’s more badass than we knew!!

That is like $58-$60k a year, so effing what. The woman had a job and she did it well. Sometimes to put food on the table, a roof over your and the kids heads, and send them to a good school, you work for people/businesses you personally don’t like. What a stupid piece this is.

Reaching....seriously reaching.

Not a very successful corporate lawyer then...

Over 33 years. Spread out over 33 years.

I gotta ask. Do the math. Are you proud of this article? Do you think you’re adding value by writing this?

So what? She worked and earned her money. Let's tear her down right. We have someone who stole and cheated and lied and he is the White House. Smh

Listen to the leader of our party Barack Obama don’t shoot at each other in a circular firing squad. Cut this out right now.

Exactly why I’m voting for SenSanders.

Holy shit. Really? 1.6M over 36 years? That’s a decent wage but not outrageous. You lot need to get your shit together- this is hardly even impressive, let alone anything even worth mentioning.

Another failed attempt. No matter if you meant to present it as an outing of 'scandalous behavior' or a shout-out to decent, lawful employment throughout her life... You went on to fire your shot & completely missed it. This is not even a discovery.

1.9 million dollars over 30 years is... not that much? For doing her job? Is this supposed to be a scandal?

That that seems like a lower number than I would have expected, given her qualifications. Is the criticism that she allowed herself to be underpaid?

That is roughly $57,565.00. Why is this even making news? Perhaps because she was grossly underpaid for a woman with her education?

So what!!!!

Since when can women be paid for work, this goes against the Bible.

It's not how much she made --we know she is terrible with money-- it is who she worked for. Whose interests she furthered.

Lol not surprised. Like i said all politicians are bought

Woman with degree earned money. More at 6 Jim.

Ratio

wtf r u doing Like, I'm very much going for Sanders rn, but wouldn't feel bad voting Warren. Who gives a F if a candidate earned money from corporations while they were a lawyer? That just says she knows more about them, not that such a paltry sum would jeopardize her interests.

She's always bragging

And? Is there a point

$57k/year is news?

1.9 mill ÷ 24 = 79,000 a year minus taxes and expenses not much left but fair enough. Good stuff Ms Warren Honesty is Your gift to peoples being cheated by these corrupt thieving politicians dominating the field at the moment!

Why are you still doing this shit

So?

Who thought this was worth publishing and why are they in such an important role at politico?

You do know this is a positive...

How deep does this rabbit hole go?

So $55K per year? She must have multiple mansions and private jets with that kind of money. 😐

Wow. You cracked it. A brilliant female legal mind was grossly underpaid for three decades. Fantastic journalism. Real A+ stuff.

She’s been a successful lawyer. However, that’s not actually a large amount for her to have made in 33 years.

Jeez, you too? Give me a break. Do better or close up shop

So? Isn’t that capitalism?

Another bought and paid for career politician

Why are y'all making this a misleading big deal?!

Dayum. girl is talented! *** Imagine being outraged at a woman earning legit money for her work. Oh, wait, you don't have to imagine...

Quick, walk me to my fainting couch and fetch me my salts.

BFD it’s over 30 years. How is this even a headline? Partners in law firms usually make more than that in one year.

Over 30 years? About $65k a year, then. Nonstory.

That's all?

Or, just over 33k per year? Lol. You GOT HER! 😂

NEW: IQ45 still not disclosing ANYTHING, as he continues to ignore subpoenas and hide his tax returns.

What a greasy way to write that headline. Why are you presenting it as if that wasn't a cumulative total from 30+ years of a moderate middle class salary?

Over 30 years. Headline fail.

and?

So what? That’s nothing compared to MoscowMitch, who got his 20+ million from foreign oligarchs.America has a propaganda problem. The RepublicanParty has committed treason. Do your job.

Smear attempt by the media they are scared of her.

Yes yes, Politico. We get it! You want four more years of Trump! We get it! Jeez!

people just found out pete worked for Mcinsey and he's pressuring warren for private legal work 😐

Local lawyer fairly compensated for services; reports earnings on taxes. Media, yall just never learn, huh?

Now do one of this mind blowing stories on every other candidate.

“Elizabeth Warren earned a normal salary for thirty years”. Fixed that headline for you.

Politico more like Gossip-co. Trump is here promoting his hotels and golf courses but we’re preoccupy ourselves with this insignificant news

That’s like reasonable af, if not underpaid

Hey dumbshits, that 58k a year. Tragic underpayment for a female lawyer. Remove this garbage headline.

A quick Google search says that lawyers in the US make $113,000/year on average, almost double Warren's earnings. Unless your point was to highlight the GenderPayGap, this is not news.

That is over 33 years; which translates to less than 55,000 a year? is that supposed to mean something? Aren't people supposed to earn a living?

Shame on you, so misleading. That is 65,000 a year!

...thats not a large amount over decades lol Was that supposed to sound scandalous?

It seems that Europe does not believe in men more, they voting for women, The West goes to women after the failure of men.

That's it? I thought it would be more.

That’s over 33 years. 2mil/33years = Wait for it It’s... Just over 60k a year. She got paid $60k, not 2 million.

Should she have worked for minimum wage as an attorney? A man would’ve made more for the same work over the same period of time.

This headline pisses me off. paywomen

That's not the real story 👇🏾

What's your point?

destruction_bay And ?

Also, even if she made 2 million a year..who cares She can make a living. She only made 60 + a year but no scandal even if she made a fortune.

This is a disingenuous headline and you know it.

amazing as hell how you earn 1.9 million over 33 years as a lawyer

. This bullshit SmearJob is just one more reason to avoid your BullshitMagazine.

Good for her! She achieved the American Dream.

ClaraListenspre Good for her. At least she earned her money honestly and didn’t have to dip into Putin’s pockets!

I’m in the Information Tech field and did better than Warren? In less time. Sounds like she hit a glass ceiling to me.

This is nothing

well that's going to upset the purity-police

At least she did it honestly and legally unlike most GOP members

How is this news?

politicoJumpsTheShark

So?

If she were a man she would have made more money. Thanks for pointing that out.

What, no mention of Hillary's emails, either? I mean, at least be consistent with your misogyny here.

Meanwhile, where are Trump's taxes again?

Cool, Bloomberg just spent 37 million in two weeks.

. politicoJumpsTheShark

so what would have been $2.5m for a male Harvard Law professor? given her expertise in bankruptcy, one imagines that the consulting work was in risk management, just like the complex litigation mainly involved bankruptcies in multiple jurisdictions /yawn

Joe Biden made almost 2million dollars from the US government from 2009-2016, more to follow!!!!!!

In Australia you can earn $60K per year being the personal assistant to a lawyer. If your overall point was how drastically underpaid she was, then yeh, we agree.

A qualified woman made $1.9m in 33 years of private practice. Bad thing for a different reason.

So... she's underpaid.

When she throws stones she best be ready for someone to throw them right back at her. Funny it took this for her to reveal this amount of money. Im telling you people, she will say and do ANYTHING to try and win this election. I don't trust anything she says.

A pleasant $57k-ish annually. So the fuck what?

I’ve made almost that much in the last 35 years as a blue collar, union member employee of a Fortune 100 company. Are we demonizing people who work for a living now? Is my income to be presented as nefarious and shameful too?

'There are five cases that the Warren campaign says it does not have compensation records for, including consulting for the former directors of Getty Oil in the late 1980s during a bankruptcy filing by Texaco' Free consulting for an oil company or something else?

That's only $65,000 a year!

So what she got paid for doing a job is that a scandal now in trumps America that a woman actually made money

Since 1986. Something like $64,000 a year. A living, but not riches.

NO, not new - dumb inaccurate story. This is very misleading. DoBetter be a better journalist.

Good for her! Tell me one single goddamn man who wouldn’t use this as a badge of honor.

That's a lot of fucking money

But her emails, Politico.

BFD.

Do math.. 33 years.. 1.9 million.. 57K a year... 🤔

What would she have made during that time as a male?

CitizensFedUp You misspelled ~ 66K per year. Much less than what many males running for office make.

An average private sector income of $57,575.76 per year is news to you guys? Really

What’s the purpose of this story? That is over a 34 yr period? Are you looking for cheap headlines instead of responsible reporting? Disgraceful!

Good work Senator

LOL. What's the big news? Are we supposed to be horrified she made so little doing corporate work over a 30-year period? Look, if she's in the tank for corporations, why are they so afraid of her?

Holy shit! She made $1.9M over a period of *34* YEARS! Actually as a lawyer this is not very much. Move along, no story here.

That’s less than 55k a year 😂😂

That averages out to just under 65k a year, which I was on track to be making with a few more annual raises as an *executive assistant* before I became too ill to have an office job. Please, do tell us all what exactly is wrong here?

2/ EVERYBODY GAVE TRUMP A TOTAL PASS! NOW you are going to get all “investigative journalist” on us? Oh Hell no! 🤬😡

$60,000 per year as o e of the top attorneys in the country. If she had chosen private corporate practice instead of teaching and public service, she would’ve made that in a year. Elizabeth Warren has earned every dime she’s been paid and we are very fortunate for her expertise.

Over 30 years? Seems appropriate

Misleading garbage headline. You should delete it.

She did a job and made a little more than $55k a year. Your point?

Media is the enemy of the people. The most corrupt people in this country either work for Trump or in the news media industry.

Cool, another election cycle of smearing successful women. FFS NotThisAgain

Now do Pete

So what? her policies are very progressive and do not favour corporate interests.

ok and so the fuck what? At least she damn disclosed it! Has Trump? No! Also, notice that is since 1986! What, over 33 friggin YEARS? And if you average that out over 33 years that’s 57,575.76 per year! 57 thousand PER YEAR people! REALLY? 1/

Women are underpaid.

OMG!!! She worked 30+ years ago as a lawyer?... and made money? The horror... 🙄😒🤨

Good for her.

Less than $56k PER YEAR!!!!!

I don’t get the story here. You’re talking about 1.9 million over a 33 year time period. That’s nothing. Why are we collectively supposed to clutch our pearls, exactly?

'Disclose' being the operative word.

So what?

Warren came under pressure from Pete Buttigieg to disclose her compensation from private clients.

So?

She was grossly underpaid, which is exactly what happens to most women, let work together to elect her president so she can help change this for the next generation of women.

So since editors write headlines: sfheuser, out of curiosity... what the fuck were you thinking with this?

corruption from pocahontas

I have mo interest in Liz anymore

Educated woman makes money. Wow

Irresponsible reporting, even if it does reveal Pete Buttigieg being a dick in the presence of experienced talent.

So what!

How much did Trump make over the same period? Get his financials or STFU.

Women are underpaid in comparison woth their male colleagues.

So she made a middle class salary in consulting for 30 yrs. BFD.

So she made about what Pete made in three years at McKinsey? Go to know PeteButtigieg Lis_Smith! Now fk off.

ooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!!! $60K/year. this cannot stand.

Oops another democratic hoax , she got caught in another lie seems as if she's actually in bed with the corporation...looks like she'll be dropping out soon liberals will no longer support her.

How is this even a headline? This is goofy as hell. She got PAID for her WORK? *gasp* Say it ain’t so 😒

Are you kidding me?

So what? Post news or don’t post, Politico.

Shes as pure as BernieSanders

Not a Warren fan but this is a BS story.

Pretty short money. Next.

Its a salary for legal work in 33 years . This post also shows that most people can't do basic math.

$57K per year is big news? She disclosed HER earnings and yes, she did work for corporate clients. Where is your story on how Trump is STILL hiding his finances and how we still don't know who paid HIM? You used to be a source of balanced coverage. WTF happened to you?

Based on her ability to communicate and problem solve, she has been woefully underpaid.

Ok.

That’s really not much considering 33 years!!

So? She’s smart and she’s earned money. Is she supposed to take a vow of poverty to help others?

1,9 million divided by 33 years is average 57k per year. lower than average for legal work.

How dare she put food on the table.

OVER 3 DECADES! Fix your stupid headline and check your misogyny, guys!

What if this headline was written for people to understand?

So over 30 years. How much did McKinsey pay Pete? How much has Biden earned? We know Bernie made money off his campaign to buy real estate.

That's 66k a year. That is nothing for a lawyer.

NEW: That’s over 33 years which comes to an average of $57,576 per year. Get serious Politico.

$1.9M/(2018-1986) = $59k per year. That doesn’t seem like a ton of money for a lawyer to have earned.

OMG, she made, like, 65k a year for WORKING?!? Outrageous!

This is not a story.

$1.9 million over 34 years isn't exactly Scrooge McDuck money. It's $55k a year.

A girls got to eat.

$57k a year since 1986. This is not news, unless we’re talking about gender pay inequality.

This is such a disingenuous headline. Journalism is such a joke these days.

this is literally called having a job

Pay to play? Sounds like it.

Lol it equates to $56,000/ year... Shit up and find real stories to report on. eyeroll canyoumath

Since 1986 as a lawyer. Now do this with other politicians.

OK, so lawyers make money from doing legal work. Good for her.

Over THIRTY FOUR years

Good!

Are y’all serious with this?

Good for her.! ♥️🇺🇸

Operative word: private legal work.

YOUR MISLEADING HEADLINE CAN KISS MY INFORMED ASS.

If you divide the total amount out into the number of years, that’s only about $50K+ a year. Seems an appropriate amount for an attorney.

Pocahontas is toast! WarrenDropsOut ElizabethWarrenDropsOut

But, but.....those evil corporations. She also increased the student loans by receiving $400K to teach a couple of classes. Hypocrisy...

She’s a lawyer. Point?

Ah! The cat is out of the bag! Let the chase began!

So what.

1986 Come on, now. Now you're really stretching it.

These crooked politicians get in office only to enrich themselves.

$57k a year? How much was she paid and by whom? That's far important than this giant lump sum.

So what? Successful women really scare some folks, I guess.

Liawatha Warpaint always looking for that wampum....

You could have said that, despite being a highly regarded lawyer, she only averaged around $70,000 in annual earnings over nearly three decades. But you didn't. Interesting.

Who among us who have been earning income since 1986 or longer, have not earned a total income of over a million dollar. (Our bills ate it up, tho'😃)

Why is that an issue? 55K a year for 34 years. Put it in perspective.

Why does the Media give her any attention? Her entire career is predicated on her ability to lie, and scam, and you all act like she’s great. She is a con artist. Andrew Breitbart was right about the DemMediaComplex. Frankly, it’s sickening.

Why is this news? Is this just an fyi?

Are we making a mountain out of a molehill?

Well, corporations are people too ! I heard that somewhere !

Since 1986? Over thirty years? The horror!

Good for her... so what’s the story here

1986 corporations were a little different. Most corporations doing well were liberal as fuck and not devising ways to fuck over the public. Of course they still needed counsel and it appears she was underpaid.

So? I made $1.2 million teaching school + side jobs in 35 years. And I had to engage in things I railed against (excessive testing).

So ya doing this because Twitler doesn't think Biden will be his Challenger? What's your salary?

Sorry, 'long' division.

Over 30 years? Whip out your long division skills!

Saturday night fever

That’s approximately $55,800 per year earned by a true friend of democratic capitalism ewarren.

Joe Biden Health Insurance (ObamaCare) Will Not Dismantle It, As Trump GOPs

over 13 years? I made way more than that!!

1.9 mil over 33 years is ~58k per year. It's probably higher since she hasn't been earning the same amount the past few years. Still, that's hardly unreasonable. That's a middle class wage.

Well we all knew that she just lied about it constantly

How did she have time? I guess Senators don't work very many hours. Otherwise she wouldn't be able to have such a lucrative second job.

Who cares. She’s Allowed to work or pay

At least she did. Almost as if she’s not afraid.

She was robbed 😂😂😂😂

How much has Trump disclosed?

Hypocrite

Sooo what! We need to pay our bills!!!!

And? What's your F'n point?

So what

Mayor Pete is awaiting his apology

Why is this news worthy? She is good at what she does and this isnt all that much money over such a long time.

I’m sorry, did you say 1986? Actually, it could be 1996 or 2006 and I still wouldn’t give a s$&t.

Gee, she works for a living.

Warren wants to high tax millionaires. Not her of course

So what? I guess I don’t see the issue. People aren’t allowed to work for corporations ever? Why not work for them? Are people going to be judge for working now?

$2M in legal fees over the course of 33 years isn't the scandal this headline implies.

Isn’t Capitalism the greatest?

Ok. What?

Let’s hope if warren is the nominee and president she can undo some of the damage she enabled as a high powered corporate lawyer

Oh my god! She got paid to do work?
