In today's news, members of President Joe Biden's cabinet have been instructed to let the president know if they're going to be out of reach for a few days.

As you know, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was hospitalized for three days before the Pentagon thought to inform the White House. We've now learned that Austin told the president he was "working from home" while he was under general anesthesia in the hospital.

As you can imagine, Republicans have pounced on the story. Politico reports that Republicans now have a new weapon to use against Biden:

As always with these "Republicans pounce" takes, Politico is insinuating that Democrats are completely cool with the Secretary of Defense going MIA for a week.

It's so ingrained in the media that they don't even know they're doing it, while it's become a running joke for conservatives. How dare the Republicans take notice of the administration's gross incompetence.
