She is, the breakout star so far of week one of the Biden Administration. And its not unusual because the Press Secretary is the one whos out there in front of the camera more than anyone other than the president. So, she has instantly taken command of that room, and it has been, as you said, you know, a kind of shocking gear change for us and welcomed gear change for us to deal with. And i love the way you two talked about whats happening and whats going to happen. Well, i mean, shes setting the tone for the administration. We have actually heard a lot from the new president in the past eight days. He has spoken publicly a lot. But we are hearing even more from jen psaki in the briefing room, and shes setting this tone of normalcy, accountability, Expository Work that tells us what the administration thinks the problem is, what they are doing to work on it, who is in charge of that work.

The breeze picks up in the north light in the south, and temperatures are pretty high for this time of year overnight, 7 9. 8 mild and cloudy start tomorrow, some spots open drizzle in northern and western areas.
