To date they have done a hella good job … hit more right notes more often than Glenn Gould on his 30th take.

Special shout-out to

Kate Bedingfield, who served as a prominent spokesperson for the Biden presidential campaign in her time as its communications director, is set to hold the same title in the President-elect’s White House.

who day in & day out knocked it outta the park.

Yes, but will they pinky-promise to never lie to us? I keed, I keed.

Hell yeah, Sisters are doing it for themselves!

I can’t wait for some GOP asswipe to get pissy with Jen Psaki or Karine Jean-Pierre.

The GOP would need a mop and a bucket to clean up the mess.

ETA: speaking for the generation that cannot see the phrase “seven women” without instantly hearing it sung by Glenn Frey:

Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me, one says she’s a friend of mine.

Plus any of them can walk into any DC area restaurant and not have it blow up into some culture war.

Thank God in her ultimate wisdom. The voices of reason, absent fake crosses around their necks, hot pink tiny dresses, slightly drunken slurs, and smoky-eyed twanging lies. You know who you are ladies. Exit, stage left. Bye.

My daughter and I cheered when my husband saw the news. He also thought it was pretty darned great.

We’ve got your backs, ladies. Go out and kill it.

Especially when we remember the sad and pathetic people who have held these positions in the last four years.

Door Number One:

Snarky sexist remarks

Door Number Two

Falling-on-the-floor joy at having this much competence and excellence at our disposal

The latent sexism in much of the media will be on full display for the first few months until those assholes either recognize their own issues and self-correct or get called out and double-down until they are hopefully removed. I suspect this group will have a much bigger impact on the discourse in this country than is at first evident, as they help clean out the old school boy’s club that still exists in the country’s elite media.

Door Number Three: When people stop referring to this as a thing - that it’s unusual to have an all-female anything!

Cannot think of a better person then Jen Psaki to be White House Press Secretary.
