    …. Porter attended Yale University, where she majored in American studies.[5] Her undergraduate thesis was titled The Effects of Corporate Farming on Rural Community.[6]

    Porter later attended Harvard Law School, where she studied under current U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, and graduated magna cum laude with her Juris Doctor in 2001

    …Porter has earned a reputation for her tough and pointed questioning of officials during congressional hearings, often using visual aids.[19][20]

    In March 2020, she used five minutes of questioning to get the chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Robert R. Redfield, to agree to use its legal authority to make testing for the COVID-19 virus free for all Americans.[21]

    She has also attracted attention for her questioning on the House Financial Services Committee. In March 2019, her questioning caught Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan contradicting what his corporate lawyers were arguing in court, in that statements he had previously made pledging transparency were “corporate puffery”, according to documents lawyers submitted.[22][23]
    In April 2019, Porter drew attention for her questioning of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon about how a Chase bank teller should make up a $567 shortfall between her monthly budget and her paycheck.[24]
    In May 2019, she asked Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson about “REOs”, real-estate owned properties, which he confused with Oreo cookies.[25] She also asked Consumer Financial Protection Bureau director Kathy Kraninger to solve some math problems about annual percentage rates on payday loans, which Kraninger declined to do.[26]

    She’s legit. When she did her bit on the SIX PAGE questionnaire for SNAP, it was amazing.

    Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.

    I like her a lot. Policies aside she’s smart, she’s honest, she’s solid; she’s tough and hopefully we don’t lose her. Right now she’s sick and under self- quaranty.
