One thing Elon said that perked my ears, was the fact that agencies are going beyond what was specified by Congress.
That one change could save a lot of money.

That sounds like fanfic. Why would Bongino leave being the heir apparent for Rush to take a government service role like that?
I could see him advising, but not leaving his budding media gig.

Agreed. That's why I found the appointment of TuCa astonishing.
Well, one of the reasons...

A charitable reason is that TuCa thinks he can make a difference for the good in the position. A more cynical explanation is that TuCa recently started a company that sells nicotine pouches, which he's marketing with a political slant. His competitors are big contributors to Dem campaigns. I'm sure it's some of everything. But how much is he making on youtube and X anyway?

Press Secretary is a complete different level of prestige and such. Tucker can go back to his podcast stuff later (or even continue?) But being Press Secretary is a move up for him. For Bongino, that's a downward move.

Yeah. but Bongino bleeds Secret Service and he thinks it's in the dumper right now.
I don't think he'll take the job, but one of his best friends runs Trump's detail. He's the guy that's been screaming for two years that they weren't giving him adequate assets to cover Trump.
I think that Trump's detail guy is the favorite.

If there is any constant with US Admins us that Press Secretaries come and go with the seasons. That FuCa is there for now - to handle the first “nasty” opening rounds of the bout.

I'm surprised JKP has lasted this long.
OTOH, letting her go would have been a mistake.
