How does that work as a practical matter. You can leave to accept a position in the private sector or retire to “spend more time with your family.” But moving from the pinnacle of the executive branch to a subordinate agency is obviously a very poor reflection on the former

I think this is a little more interesting. Leaving the White House for the Department of Labor is, at least from most people’s reading of it, a big step back in terms of prestige. Huge step back really. What position did she take? Was it a civil service position or a political appointment?

If it was a civil service / excepted service gig, it would be considered a “burrowing in” act, which isn’t uncommon at the end of a change in administration when political creatures try to hold onto their benefits by clinging to the bureaucratic teat, but pretty uncommon a year into an administration. Either she had to escape being let go herself, or she feared being swept up in a bigger personnel change. Outside chance it is all innocent and she was burnt out trying to come up with a way of saying “the president is doing great” in this environment, but I wouldn’t run to labor in that case because trying to spin bad jobs reports isn’t going to be any easier.

Sounds more like shuffling the deck chairs around. Might indicate the Administration is getting ready for “change”.

Trump had a revolving door of people.

Of course the media treated it differently than they do for Biden.

There’s, of course, nothing wrong with the way Biden and Harris are performing, it’s just that their communications staffers are not communicating it properly./s

In the Labor Dept., Emma will be able to sit on her fat ass and do nothing for the foreseeable future without the fear of losing her job.
