"If I'm your president," Joe Biden promised at the Democratic National Convention last summer, "on day one we'll have a national mask mandate." Now that Biden is the president, his policy has changed from a general requirement to an executive order that applies only on federal property and interstate transportation.

While supporters of a nationwide face mask mandate to combat COVID-19 may be disappointed, constitutionalists should be pleased. The switch is a hopeful sign that Biden acknowledges limits to presidential power, even during a public health emergency.

Until he backtracked in September, Biden had been promising that he would "do everything possible" from "an executive standpoint" to "make it required that people had to wear masks in public." Donald Trump criticized that plan, saying Biden "wants the president of the United States, with the mere stroke of a pen, to order over 300 million American citizens to wear a mask."

Trump noted that Biden "does not identify what authority the president has to issue such a mandate." He warned that it would violate federalism by "stepping on governors throughout our country."

As Biden now admits, Trump was right

Trumpism dead:

  His Twitter mouthpiece cut off due to inciting a riot, his businesses down 50 - 60%,

  Trump is going nowhere. T
  Trump traitors being rounded up, charged with Federal offenses.

 

GOP in disarray:

   Arch-Conservative, Liz Cheney criticized for not being pro-Trump enough.

   They are eating their own. Looks like Mitt Romney, et al, will be forming a new,
   moderate Republican Party.

FBI probe of U.S. Capitol riot finds evidence
detailing coordination of an assault

https://www.washingt...d2fda4c88cc3942

 

Investigators caution there is an important legal distinction between gathering like-minded people for a political rally — which is protected by the First Amendment — and organizing an armed assault on the seat of American government. The task now is to distinguish which people belong in each category, and who played key roles in committing or coordinating the violence.

White House Reporters: Biden Team Wanted Our Questions in Advance PICKING AND CHOOSING It pissed off enough reporters for people to flag it for the White House Correspondents Association, one of The Daily Beasts sources said.

If youre a reporter with a tough question for the White House press secretary, Joe Bidens staff wouldnt mind knowing about it in advance.

According to three sources with knowledge of the matter, as well as written communications reviewed by The Daily Beast, the new presidents communications staff have already on occasion probed reporters to see what questions they plan on asking new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when called upon during briefings.

The requests prompted concerns among the White House press corps, whose members, like many reporters, are sensitive to the perception that they are coordinating with political communications staffers.

One reporter raised the issue during an informal White House Correspondents Association Zoom call last Friday. According to multiple sources, leaders at the meeting advised print reporters to push back against requests by the White House press team to learn of questions in advance, or simply to not respond to the Biden teams inquiries.

While its a relief to see briefings return, particularly with a commitment to factual information, the press can't really do its job in the briefing room if the White House is picking and choosing the questions they want, one White House correspondent said. That's not really a free press at all.

It pissed off enough reporters for people to flag it for the [WHCA] for them to deal with it, another knowledgeable source said.

The WHCA Zoom call was off the record, and Daily Beast staffers participated in the talk. Those staffers had no input into this story whatsoever. The reporter who wrote this story was not bound by the terms of the calls agreement. All of the information in this article was independently gathered, and without his colleagues knowledge.

Since Biden took office two weeks ago, the White House press team has visibly attempted to draw contrasts with the Trump press team, which had a notoriously antagonistic relationship with reporters and eventually scrapped the traditional daily briefing altogether.

Psaki has pleased many members of the press pool by ensuring that the reporters in attendance arent doing so in vain. In each of the early press conferences, shes fielded questions from every reporter in the room.

During her first presser, Psaki promised to restore regular briefings, including those with top administration health officials, adding that she had a deep respect for the role of a free and independent press, and that they shared a common goal, which is sharing accurate information with the American people.

Bidens press team did not deny that staffers had solicited questions from reporters. But the White House contended that it has tried to foster a better relationship with the press corps than the previous administration, and has tried to reach out to reporters directly in order to avoid appearing to dodge questions during briefings.

Our goal is to make the daily briefing as useful and informative as possible for both reporters and the public, a White House spokesperson said. Part of meeting that objective means regularly engaging with the reporters who will be in the briefing room to understand how the White House can be most helpful in getting them the information they need. That two-way conversation is an important part of keeping the American people updated about how government is serving them.

This practice isnt totally unheard-of in previous administrations, departments, or federal agencies. For instance, former President Donald Trumps White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was known to have asked certain news outlets about their questions in advance of some major or high-profile Trump press conferences or events, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter. Communications staffers during the Bush and Obama years would ask reporters for the gist of questions in advance if they wanted to interview Cabinet secretaries.

Under previous administrations, many White House reporters would meet informally in the morning for gaggles with the press secretaries. During these interactions, White House communications staff could get a sense of the topics reporters were interested in that day, and would come prepared for questions during televised briefings later in the afternoon.

Eric Schultz, a former deputy press secretary in the Obama White House, said that the new comms team was restoring normalcy to the briefing process. Finding out what reporters are focusing on, he said, was standard procedure in most pre-Trump White Houses in order to reduce the number of questions that go unanswered during televised briefings.

This is textbook communications work. The briefing becomes meaningless if the press secretary has to repeatedly punt questions, instead of coming equipped to discuss what journalists are reporting on, he said. In a non-covid environment, this would happen in casual conversations throughout the day in lower and upper press. One of the few upsides to reporters hovering over your desk all day, is that you get a very quick sense of what theyre working on.

Despite concerns some reporters had with the Biden teams behind-the-scenes queries, Psakis tenure thus far has received positive reviews from many media outlets. The Washington Post told readers to get ready for a reality-grounded press briefings, which Forbes has already described as must-see TV. The New York Times noted that she had extended an olive branch to reporters during her first briefing, which Vox described as a breath of fresh air.

Mark Rudd surrendered within 60 days; the remainder of the Weather leadership resurfaced the following year.
November - Five WUO members are arrested on conspiracy to bomb California State Senator, John Brigg's offices.
