Looks like the White House is getting a jump on the spring cleaning:
The Daily Beast ~ EXCLUSIVE: Biden White House sandbags staffers, sidelines dozens for pot use

New York Post ~ Biden White House fires staffers over past marijuana use: report
http://trib.al/L94vWeO
More from the Daily Beast:
Dozens of young White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign, or placed in a remote work program due to past marijuana use, frustrating staffers who were pleased by initial indications from the Biden administration that recreational use of cannabis would not be immediately disqualifying for would-be personnel, according to three people familiar with the situation.
The policy has even affected staffers whose marijuana use was exclusive to one of the 14 states—and the District of Columbia—where cannabis is legal. Sources familiar with the matter also said a number of young staffers were either put on probation or canned because they revealed past marijuana use in an official document they filled out as part of the lengthy background check for a position in the Biden White House.
In some cases, staffers were informally told by transition higher-ups ahead of formally joining the administration that they would likely overlook some past marijuana use, only to be asked later to resign.
Huh.
Stephen L. Miller ~ So that's why the German Shepherd attacked a staffer.
It all makes sense now.
P-E-Z ~ Afraid a stoner might tell the truth in weak moment?
Calling Hunter ... calling Hunter Biden! Please report to the White House HR Department.
That would also makes sense.
But here’s the official White House spin from Jen Psaki:
Jen Psaki ~ United States government official: We announced a few weeks ago that the White House had worked with the security service to update the policies to ensure that past marijuana use wouldn’t automatically disqualify staff from serving in the White House.
As a result, more people will serve who would not have in the past with the same level of recent drug use. The bottom line is this: of the hundreds of people hired, only five people who had started working at the White House are no longer employed as a result of this policy.

What’s interesting about this, though, is that the White House apparently thinks our memories are as sieve-like as Joe Biden’s.
Because we can recall when Kamala Harris thought a history that included smoking weed was actually pretty cool:
Ponojr ~ So the VP is gone also?
Damian ~ Kamala be getting demoted for past marijuana use I take it?
Well, back when Kamala Harris made that “admission,” some people noted that her story didn’t quite add up:
victim of capitalism memorial ~ Kamala Harris claims to have smoked pot in college while listening to Tupac and Snoop.
Tupac's first album came out in 1991.
Snoop's first album came out in 1993.
Kamala Harris graduated college in 1986.
Chris Manning ~ You said you smoked weed while listening to Tupac and Snoop Dogg. They released their first tracks while you were the DDA in Alameda. This would imply you were smoking weed as DDA and at the same time sending others to jail for smoking weed??? Hmmmm.
And now, the White House is punishing staffers for past marijuana use, even if they were using it in states where it was legal.
RBe ~ Since the White House is firing staffers for prior marijuana use, are they going to explain the timeline of Kamala Harris admitting to smoking weed and listening to music that was released after she was already an Assitant DA in California?
Or nah?
Because either she was being a fake ass poser during that radio interview or she admitted to smoking weed when she was literally putting people in jail for possessing weed.
Either way, it’s a bad look for Kamala Harris. And ultimately a bad look for the White house.
Glenn Greenwald ~ Imagine getting fired or suspended from your job in the White House for acknowledging past weed smoking when prior Presidents have acknowledged they've done that (and more severe narcotics) as has the current Vice President (they did it when it was actually illegal).
RBe ~ Democrats in action:
*Kamala Harris brags about smoking weed while she was jailing people for smoking weed*
Democrats: "ISN'T SHE AWESOME AND HIP AND COOL!!!"
*White House staffers admit to smoking weed and get fired*
