Does the economic crisis in DPRK pose an additional security threat, and are we under any obligation to respond to the humanitarian situation?
Jen: our sanctions against the government is never intended against the people of DPRK and we continue to express our insistence that they denuclearize

Are you concerned that China may invade Taiwan?
Jen: we're not looking for a conflict China but we're definitely concerned about their ongoing aggression toward Taiwan. DiD would be making assessments on military activity.

Ed: you guys only have a one vote margin in both chambers. What are you gonna do?
Jen: well we've always strived for bipartisanship either way. The margins don't change our approach. "What an interesting time to be in Washington!"

Kaitlan: WTF is happening with J&J?
Jen: Jeff Zients has contact with these companies, but production fluctuations have always been possible or expected. We're helping however it's appropriate for the federal government to help.

The military is big mad that they don't know if they're leaving Afghanistan soon. Why? What is happening?
Jen: it's almost like it's a super complicated issue!!
(I'm being flip, but I am on the Pentagon's side on this one. That place doesn't move fast)

Jen is probably not the person to really flesh that out but it is an important question regarding the US' hesitancy to send a lot of its vaccine supply elsewhere and Russia and China stepping into that void

Woooo he just got Psakied. Trying to make fetch happen about getting Republican votes for the infrastructure package, she tells him to ask Republicans and points to broad public support. He says she's staking her credibility on punting to them, she asks why he doesn't think the opinion of the American people matters.

Is there a point at which the administration would stop admitting unaccompanied minors into the country?
Jen: right now we're focused on ensuring the health and safety children who need our help

Oh cool, they're going to start taking questions on monitors from regional reporters who obviously can't be in the room because they're in, for example, Alaska

Ed O'Keefe: when can cruise ships cruise? Why can airlines fly and they can't? Pete: it's about safety and responsibility. Airplanes and cruise ships aren't the same thing. We really want to see cruise lines sailing by mid summer and CDC is working on guidance for them to do that safely. That this even needs to be said. Although if you read cruise ship forums, you'd almost believe the CDC has a personal vendetta against the cruise ship industry, yadda yadda yadda. And let's not even broach Governor DeSantis' feelings about protecting the cruise industry. Although, to be fair, it plays a good sized role in Florida. Just that, IMO, the CDC etc has to look at the entire country, not one industry (that's not even legally based in the US for the most part) and one state. Brutal, but true I think.

Brutal, but true I think. and truly, since the cruise ships fly flags of other countries and are probably all using tax havens, literally how much does it truly affect the US? Maybe I'm totally off base. I don't know anything about cruising or really vacation industry.

Cruises were disgusting petri dishes before Covid. The CDC even had a vessel sanitation program specifically for cruise ships because there are regular disease outbreaks on them. www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/surv/gilist.htm Opening up cruise ships when we are the cusp of third wave would be incredibly irresponsible.

The dam has sprung a leak on Gaetz. Kinsinger is the Republican to come out and say he should he removed from his committee assignments.

Are we going to see Kate McKinnon playing Psakie on Weekend Update so she can “You got Psakied” Colin and Michael? I miss hearing “That’s a Ginsburn” from her.
