Jen Psaki serves as the White House press secretary, but before taking that post under President Joe Biden, she was a critic of Massachusetts U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Cambridge).
Psaki served as a political contributor for CNN from 2017 to 2020, after working as White House Communications Director from 2015 to 2017 under then-President Barack Obama. She served as spokesman for the United States Department of State from 2013 to 2015, also during the Obama administration. During her tenure as a CNN commentator, Psaki expressed some of her political views. Among those opinions expressed — on CNN and the internet — were her feelings about Warren.
The city of Boston got a new police commissioner on Monday, and he's already on leave.
William Gross retired Friday, January 29 and announced around the same time that he won't run for mayor to succeed apparently outgoing Marty Walsh, who is the U.S. Labor secretary nominee. Gross's successor, Dennis White, is already on leave as of Wednesday, February 3 over what Mayor Walsh called "disturbing issues", as NBC Boston reports. That means he was on the job for two days before being placed on leave.
