Alex: POTUS hasn't even made the drawdown announcement yet but Republicans are already whining
Jen: k. Well. We don't think a military solution will fix Afghanistan. It's been 20 years of trying and failing. Enough.
(Didn't Trump promise to be out by next month?)

Weijia: butbutbut on the campaign trail Biden said we would need to keep a small footprint in Afghanistan to quickly respond to terrorism if needed
Jen: y'all will get multiple briefings on this tomorrow, is there not anything you want to ask about today?!

Are POTUS and Big Gretch fighting?
Jen: Governor Whitmore has demonstrated tremendous leadership in the face of an obstructionist legislature, a plot to kidnap and assassinate her, loss of loved ones from the pandemic and a dam break. We have nothing but respect for her. But the doctors told us not to send her more vaccines.

Is POTUS trying to deescalate with Russia? Does this mean we won't see tough sanctions?
Jen: that's not what I said. Russia will face consequences for its actions. Some seen, unseen.

Rashida Tlaib said policing is past the point of reform and should end?
Jen: that's not the president's view. There are important reforms that must be put into place, and POTUS encourages the Senate to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, and play enforcement must work to earn back the trust of the communities they serve

I don't even know what this dork is trying to ask her. Utility companies claimed they lowered rates because of the 2017 tax cuts? And he's worried that people's utility bills will go up bc of the American Jobs Plan?
She's not impressed

This is why utility companies should not be privately held.

Hans Nichols again asked her if we were involved in the cyber attack on an Iranian nuclear facility, probably in response to an absolute tightrope walk of a read-out from Jake Sullivan, and Jen is holding really firm to "wasn't us!"

But he also says this case requires that the AG steps in and prosecute this case.

Any bets on which new PD they’ll show up at and before how long? I'm assuming he's been there long enough to be able to retire. the mayor said he hasn't accepted the officer resignation

Zients is emphasizing that J&J accounts for less than 5% of our doses so the pause isn't hugely catastrophic My appointment was cancelled today at the last minute. 6 cases out of almost 7 MILLION doses. I have private fucking thoughts.

So we can give enough money and training to cops to know how to operate a robotic dog but we can’t train them enough to not shoot POC?

This mayor looks like he is 15 years old. I think its his hat.
He is handling everything well. There is a lot of (well earned) vitriol from people in the room with questions and he's doing a great job of keeping the temperature down.

And how many of them drive while messing around on a laptop at the same time? But are too “stressed and confused in the moment” to recognize the substantial difference between a taser and a gun.

I mentioned Brittany Packnetts post earlier.
I hope this will link from FB
Its her labor and she deserves the recognition for it so I'm not going to even try to paraphrase any of it
