...she still speaks for the President.

She'll be free to speak her own mind soon enough. Until then, I hope she'll maintain the amazing professionalism that has bee the hallmark of her tenure.

"...she still speaks for the President." Could just as easily have been Pres. Biden saying that, and the reporter would have deserved it. Wouldn't surprise me at all for Pres. Biden to have said it.

There is absolutely no reason on earth to treat these bad faith actors with any respect whatsoever. Time to lower the boom on all of them - their “politicians,” their chistofascist pulpit bangers, their propagandists, and their dark money sources.

It's puzzled me why Ms. Psaki calls on Doocey so often. Perhaps she wanted to shoot him down and he's an easy target?

That part of her daily preparation is guessing what propaganda-laden „questions“ Fox „News“ people will ask. They are so predictable, Psaki seems to anticipate them every single time.

This recycling of resources is a fine example to advertise and promote the practical sustainability of essential commodities. Those being wit and wisdom, keys to saving the planet. We're lost without them.

We've spent too long calling liars "confused" or "loose with facts". They're liars, so call them liars.
If they're promoting something made up, call them on relying on made up nonsense.
No more "nice way to say it".
It's pretty clear that didn't work, otherwise we wouldn't be worried about a party with bad, or no, ideas taking control of Congress. They have nothing to sell and dems have soft pedaled their traitorous behavior.

Happened to look at the TV, unmuted when I saw they were talking about this. They played the clip from the podcast, then talked about "it's part of the job" "Biden said they'd show respect" blah blah blah.
