    Elon and Vivek have both said that they will be giving good severance packages for people that they let go. So, any of these people who decide to remove themself are not going to get whatever severance pay that the others will get.
    If they are not smart enough to realize that simple fact, then one questions whether they are smart enough to be working there in the first place.

    Trump announces his White House Press Secretary shall be Karoline Leavitt, who was the national press secretary for Trump’s presidential campaign. This is another young 'un, at 27 years old.

    From Wiki: Leavitt began her career as a summer intern in the White House Office of Presidential Correspondence prior to her senior year in college. Upon her graduation she took a job in the correspondence office before joining the White House Press Office as an assistant press secretary under Kayleigh McEnany. Following the conclusion of the Trump administration she was hired as the communications director for U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik from New York.

    In 2022, Leavitt announced her candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives, running as a Republican in New Hampshire's 1st congressional district. She notably ran against 2020 nominee Matt Mowers, former Executive Councilor Russell Prescott, journalist Gail Huff Brown, and State Representative Tim Baxter. The final poll before the primary showed Leavitt losing to Mowers by two points. Leavitt won the primary by about 10 points. Her victory in the Republican primary made her the second member of Generation Z to win a congressional primary after Maxwell Frost who did so the previous month. Leavitt lost in the general election to incumbent Chris Pappas by 8.2% of the vote. Leavitt declined to run in the 2024 election.

    Leavitt is married and has a son who was born in 2024.

    Very pretty young woman. I'm really happy to see all these young conservative faces.

    He's building the future rather than handing out appointments as so many gold watches to guys in walkers.

    Our kids were totally jazzed with JD Vance. They all watched every podcast interview with him; he's in their age group so even though they are Trump supporters, JD sealed the deal.
