White House press secretary Jen Psaki held the first press briefing of the new administration on Wednesday evening and pledged to bring "transparency and truth back to the briefing room."
"I have deep respect for the role of a free and independent press in our democracy and for the role all of you play," she said. "There will be moments when we disagree ... but we have a common goal, which is sharing accurate information with the American people." The Biden administration is also implementing stricter rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the White House, including requiring daily testing for staffers, the use of N95 masks, and social distancing, Psaki said. These policies are a clear break from the Trump White House, which hosted numerous events that didn't require mask-wearing or social distancing and helped facilitate super-spreader events.
Psaki insisted that Biden would like his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill to have bipartisan support, but won't rely on GOP votes to pass the legislation.
We are crazy thrilled with her. Of course she has a great organized government behind her. Our civil servants who make it to this stage are amazing

Setting the stage so you are just ok with everything they say! Because it sounds good it must be true .....just believe them ... and if you don’t you are a racist.... white supremacist.... insurrectionist....
Prediction, she will resign and a woman of a particular skin tone will take her place
Wow. Really?!
It never left. But I hope the so called press asks her the same way they asked Trumps team.
Is it the first joke?
Yeah ok 😂 There will never be a better PS than Kayleigh. Hands down. We al know Psaki’s history. Spare us this propaganda.
That would be a first
ALERT! Adults are in the White House!
