This is terrifying and horrific.
Axios reporter Alexi McCammond said in a series of tweets on Sunday that she was drugged at the bar of the St. Regis hotel in Washington, D.C. on Monday:
To friends/colleagues: I’m sorry for not returning so many texts/emails/calls this week. On Monday I was drugged while getting drinks at the St Regis in DC. I’m slowly recovering, but feel broken, violated, and furious. My @axios fam has been completely invaluable in this moment.

I hope to be back to normal next week and get back to my regularly scheduled life of traveling and covering 2020 and being a normal, happy 25-year-old. Thanks for bearing with me while I’ve been as far from my phone as possible.

And she’s been to the ER three times this week because of it.
And also while I’ve visited the ER three times this week. Please be safe while drinking and, unfortunately, be more cautious of everyone around you.
