The press secretary said that out of an abundance of caution, Trump will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed.
I did a Google search, and on that admittedly-sloppy basis, this may be the first mention of "presidential offices" at Walter Reed in history.
Has anyone heard of "presidential offices" at Walter Reed before?
Thanks to @thatpetewoods, I have an answer. Which is that there’s no such thing as “the ptesidential offices at Walter Reed” for the president to go work at when he feels like it. There’s a suite that can be used by the president, but can also be used by others.
@thatpetewoods So Keighley was bullshitting. What she means is that he’s being admitted to the hospital but can work out of the suite there, not that he’s just working out of "the presidential offices" there in case of sudden hospitalization needs.
He’s hospitalized.

I saw a couple people arguing that if you raise the age for gun ownership you have to raise the age for all other legal markers of adulthood, or it's not fair.
I say thee nay,
As we've worked it out, it's very helpful that people can be licensed to drive years before they're licensed to drink; it's very helpful that way.
There also seems to be (don't ask me to cite it) evidence that a later age for gun ownership results in fewer killing sprees.
Whereas being able to vote at 18 doesn't result in crazed voting sprees. And starting military service three years before you could privately own a gun might also be helpful.
A staggered introduction of adulthood seems to be a good idea.
Bob called me, and asked me if I was up for the project. I was hugely flattered, and told Bob that I had no time (this was very true), but for the chance to work with Carlos, I would make time.
Then we had to actually come up with a story!
We originally started with a different concept, and wound up shifting over to the Avengers Forever idea (which was originally set to be a subplot in the main Avengers book, and was retooled into its own story with the helpful advice of Mark Waid).
Secrets of the Comics Revealed, Maybe: After this issue came out, the editor, Denny O'Neil told me that it had seen a nice bump in sales, that we'd gotten considerably more mail on it than other issues in recent memory, that the mail was extremely positive, and I should never...
...do anything like it again. He said this with a sort of reserved smirk, and it confused me enormously.
For a long time I thought what he meant was that despite it doing well, he didn't like it because it was funny, and that's not what he wanted for the book. This may have...
Just saw, on another social-media site, a comics creator who was venting about the character in KING CONAN getting a different name. He was absolutely furious that Marvel would “buckle” to the forces of “cancel culture.”
And I’m thinking, wait, what the hell difference does...
…it make if the character has a different name? Does it alter the character in any significant way? Does it change the concept, the story? Does it do anything except not accidentally offend some of the audience?
No. So what’s the problem?
Why would anyone get _that_ mad about a simple fix to something that barely affects the story or character?
One of the people fervently agreeing with him said comics should come with labels saying that if you’re going to complain, don’t buy it.
