Hey look, it's Tom Cotton being a duplicitous asshat. Must be a day that ends in Y. Glad Psaki is pointing it out, for whatever it's worth.

.@TomCottonAR had a chance last week to back his words with actions by voting for the security assistance for Ukraine that the President announced yesterday.

He and 30 of his fellow Senate Republicans voted against that money.
Tom Cotton @TomCottonAR wrote: No more timidity and half measures.

It's time to send Ukraine the weapons needed to end this invasion.
Those 31 Republican Senators voted against:
-$13.6 billion for Ukraine
-800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems
-9000 anti-tank weapons
-7000 small arms
-20 million rounds of ammunition

Our assistance is making a difference on the ground, and the President is delivering more

You can't make statements like Cotton's unless you are sure your base is stupid and has the memory of a gnat.

Tom Cotton is blinded by the size of his...ambition. So glad he is on Psaki's radar. He is a gnat who thinks he knows everything that's best for everyone.

Scoop: Jen Psaki planning to leave White House this spring for MSNBC gig

White House press secretary Jen Psaki is in exclusive talks with MSNBC to join the network after she leaves the White House around May, according to a source close to the matter.

Why it matters: It's been speculated for weeks that Psaki would leave the White House for a TV gig. White House communications staffers often negotiate TV jobs once they leave an administration.

Details: Psaki has been in close consultation with the White House counsel's office about her departure, according to two sources familiar with the plans. She's been treading carefully on the ethics and legal aspects of her plans.

Well at least one thing hasn't changed since tfg left, the WH to pundit pipeline.

Well, she makes a lot more sense as a hire than Mulvaney at CBS.

Psaki announced some time ago that she would be leaving the WH. She has a young child so that's not unreasonable. Being a contributor at MSNBC allows a more normal life. She will still be an advocate for sanity.

Kate Bedingfield is the White House Communications Director. She's very experienced in dealing with the press and her red hair is a bit more muted that Psaki's, but if she takes over these pressers it's not a bad thing.

I’ve grown quite fond of Jen Psaki in the last year. I hope she lands well. I’ll watch, unless she turns out to be boring. :lol:

I will miss her. That said, look at Kelly O's facial expressions and speculate what she's thinking there...

New York CNN Business —

NBC News journalists are troubled by and have expressed dismay to network executives about MSNBC’s intention to hire White House press secretary Jen Psaki when she exits the Biden administration, people familiar with the matter told CNN.

Noah Oppenheim, the NBC News president, even held an impromptu phone call Friday so that he could address the matter with vexed staffers from the Washington bureau, some of whom have complained to their superiors that the tentative hiring tarnishes the NBC News brand.

Oppenheim, attempting to quell the anger, reaffirmed the distinction on the call between NBC News and MSNBC’s opinion programming, some of the people familiar with the matter said.

Oppenheim, who does not oversee MSNBC, told the journalists that NBC News did not have a role in hiring Psaki. And he noted to those on the phone that they work for the NBC News brand and that the hires made for MSNBC’s opinion arm should be viewed as unrelated to their work, the people said.

“Here’s what he was saying: They have perspective programming. This was done on the perspective programming side. Not anything that reflects on NBC News,” one of the people, who was on the call, explained.
What a bunch of whiners.

I still think that Ms. Psaki is channeling C. J. Craig.

And, I like it!

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki Formally Joins MSNBC
She’ll first appear on MSNBC, NBC and their streaming platforms this fall

Jen Psaki is officially heading to MSNBC.

On Tuesday, the network announced she’ll join the ranks and appear across the brand’s platforms, including NBC and streaming, this fall. Psaki’s original streaming series is set to debut in the first quarter of 2023 and will utilize her government experience from behind the podium and knowledge of presidential politics to inform and entertain MSNBC audiences.

“Jen’s sharp wit and relatability combined with the mastery of the subjects she covers have made her a household name across the nation,” MSNBC President Rashida Jones said. “Her extensive experience in government and on the campaign trail and perspective as a White House and Washington insider is the type of analysis that sets MSNBC apart. She’s a familiar face and trusted authority to MSNBC viewers, and we look forward to her insight during this consequential election season.”
