White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Being a Working Mom Under Joe Biden

When President Joe Biden first announced in November that he would have an all-women White House communications team, to many, it felt like progress. When it became common knowledge that six of the seven lead positions were held by moms of young children all under the age of 6, it felt like moral imperative. With millions of women exiting the workforce amid the COVID pandemic (women workforce participation has dropped to 57 percent, the lowest level since 1988), seeing so many working mothers with seats at perhaps the most powerful table in the world is an essential step forward. Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, is one of those women, and she doesn t take her ability to perform her dual roles as both a sound piece for the administration and as a mother to a 5-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son for granted.

More Side Effects With Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine: CDC Study
People who received the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine reported more side effects than those who got the Pfizer/BioNTech shot, according to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The study published online in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) on April 5 looked at data collected from over 3 million participants vaccinated from Dec. 14, 2020, through Feb. 28, 2021, in the CDC’s v-safe active surveillance system. However, only 1,920,872 participants reported getting the second vaccine dose.
More than 46 million Americans had gotten at least one dose of the vaccine by Feb. 21.
