I asked @PressSec if President Biden planned to keep the Space Force, or its scope, and she declined to say.
(She poked fun at the question about an entire branch of the military as the "plane of today," referring to when she'd been asked about the Air Force One paint job.)

You can lead a media whore to context, but you can’t make them think.
Like kids in the toy aisle pursuing blind bags, much of the WH press corps became addicted to the Trump administration’s high-octane press briefings. Sometimes there was a Chucky doll, sometimes a box of live scorpions, frequently the gaudy packaging contained nothing at all — but it was always something different, therefore EXCITING! (And it didn’t require thought, much less research, to write up afterwards.)
