Waiting for presser to begin in Circle Back briefing room. Running late, have no idea why...
Psaki announces Biden rescinded global gag rule that bars international nonprofits that offer abortion referrals, counseling from receiving US funding.
Q about Biden acting “unilaterally” and why he hasn’t met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

Psaki says Biden is making many phone calls.

Psaki says Biden promised to act immediately on “immoral” policies of previous administration.

These journos are so timid.
Kaitlin Collins—Would Biden sign COVID bill only signed by Democrats?

Psaki- Word salad.

Psaki says they won’t have any comment on Wall Street volatility.

WOW asked again, Psaki refers to FEC statement.

TOTAL DEFLECTION
This press corps is a joke. No push on what’s happening on Wall Street, they pivot to more vaccine questions.

I can only imagine the screeching and shouting if oh never mind
SEC sorry
Reporter asks about Yellen’s COI with Citadel and Wall Street speaking fees.

Psaki says Yellen is a “world renowned experts on markets” so of course she made millions in fees
She really struggles to give a straight answer. Won’t clarify White House position on BDS.

LOL WashEx reporter asks if Biden’s EOs makes him a “benevolent dictator” and if describing Trump as “immoral” brings unity.

Not sure what she’s saying in response
Oh wow Psaki says it’s easier for private schools to reopen because they charge tuition. Like wut

Downplays science showing schools don’t spread virus. Reiterates that schools need billions and billions for ventilation and testing and whatnot
These questions are so dumb. Kaitlin Collins actually had a few good ones.

COVID panic task force. CDCs Rochelle Walensky confirms school settings aren't big spreaders with mitigation strategies. Many communities "lack" resources to do so--mentions Biden's COVID package.
Walensky demands everyone wear a mask, stay 6 feet apart, avoid large crowds, don't travel, and get the vaccine
Uh Oh Fauci says we have a wake-up call on mutant virus. Will need "versions" of the vaccine to combat any mutation at any given time. "Viruses can't mutate if they can't replicate" 😐

LOL Psaki suggests CDC might issue new guidance to close indoor dining...all part of their pressure campaign to get their $1.9 trillion COVID package passed which includes $500 billion for schools, colleges. There is ZERO science to justify closing bars, restaurants
Asked if Biden will travel to other states to rally support for COVID package. Blames pandemic for the president refusing to travel--taking "creative steps" to reach Americans.

Oof reporter points out he can travel with vaccine and safety precautions.
So the questions are getting a little tougher. Psaki isn't prepared. She gets a Q about Cuomo underreporting nursing home deaths, she won't comment, says to ask DOJ because the DOJ is "independent" now.

Psaki presser starts with John Kerry and Gina McCarthy. We are doomed.
Uh oh. “Science” is telling us something something doom, McCarthy says. Biden is “undoing the assault” of the past 4 years on the climate. Climate central to foreign policy and national security, she declares. We are doomed.
McCarthy: We are going to take a “whole of economy” approach. Meeeelllions of green jobs ahead. Finally, environmental justice will have a task force. DOJ will have “Office of Climate Justice” which might take away focus of Sedition Task Force, just sayin.

Susan Rice takes WH podium for first time in 4 years. Now we know her key role in Russiagate and unmasking. Will anyone ask her about FISA abuse, spying operation into Trump, her bogus peddling of collusion hoax?
Biden will end DOJ agreements with private prisons, will end “mass incarceration” Rice says.
Rice says Biden will fight any rollback of COVID election rules, mentions HR 1 voting bill.
