A press gaggle (as distinct from a press conference or press briefing) is an informal briefing by the White House Press Secretary which (as used by press secretaries for the George W. Bush administration) is on the record, but disallows videography. The term can refer to the informal interactions between the press and the press secretary that occur before a videotaped press briefing.[1]
A former member of the White House press corps provided the following historical context:[2]
"Gaggles" historically refer to informal briefings the press secretary conducts with the press pool rather than the entire press corps. …they were more or less off the record, and their purpose was mostly to exchange information - the president's schedule and briefing schedule, from the administration side; heads-up on likely topics or early comment on pressing issues, from the news side. Briefings were what everybody knows them to be.
In previous administrations, when the President traveled, sometimes the press secretary would hold a gaggle with the press pool that travels on Air Force One - not every time, but sometimes, and always informally. In this administration, Ari [i.e. Ari Fleischer] does a gaggle on the plane every time the President goes out of town, and a transcript is made available for press corps members who weren't on the plane. These mid-air mini-briefings are the "gaggles" you can find transcripts of on the White House website.
The blog maintained by Newsweek magazine's political reporters is called The Gaggle; on their main page, their definition for "gaggle" when used to refer to the Washington, D.C. press, is "a flock of reporters pecking at a politician."[3] Not commonly used in society.
According to longtime dean of the White House press corps Helen Thomas, the term was coined by Dee Dee Myers, the White House Press Secretary in 1993-94 during the Clinton administration.
About mid-morning, the press corps heads into its first briefing in the press secretary's office. Dee Dee Myers began calling it the morning "gaggle" and the name seems to have stuck…. We gather around the press secretary's desk, ask our questions and then head back to our offices to write our stories.[4]
"Gaggle" was prominently in the news on February 24, 2017. The Trump White House excluded several major news organizations, including CNN, the New York Times and Politico, from a regular press gaggle. Favorable press outlets were not excluded. Responses from the press included charges of "war on fake news." [5]

Former Clinton press secretary joins California Gov. Newsom as top economic aide
California's Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom named former Clinton-era White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers as director of the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development on Friday.
The 59-year-old former Warner Bros. executive began working with Newsom, who is a Democrat, in May as a volunteer amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Myers, the first female White House press secretary in history, will join new senior adviser Jim DeBoo in her role – another one of a handful of additions hired during the second half of the governor's term.
In a statement, Newsom said that Meyers' decades of experience in both the public and private sectors was a contributing factor to the decision, noting she "brings an ability to work across sectors, ensuring that our recovery is built upon common ground and common solutions."
In an interview with Politico, Myers said Friday that she knows there are challenges regarding the state's economy and the pandemic, but that there are also "a lot of opportunities."
The Wynn Resorts board member said her first priorities are distributing the vaccine and getting small businesses back on their feet.
A Golden State native, Myers has known Newsom for years and told Politico she was looking forward to working with him.

Bill & Hillary: Murders, Lies, Money Laundering, Drug Running, Child Sex, Prostitutes
http://weaselzippers.us/214182-bill-clintons-libido-threatens-to-de...
Hillary told Obama that she was most worried about the damage Bill could do to her career run for President.
It was Bill's close relationships with Burkle and Epstein, however, that were Hillary's true threat. In an expos? published in Vanity Fair's July 2008 issue, Todd Purdum - husband of Bill's former White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers - wrote of the former president's depraved, "motley crew" of wealthy hangers-on and enablers.
Clinton had been close with Burkle, a self-made billionaire, for well over a decade. Burkle, 62, had long kept his private plane stocked with girls as young as 19, and according to author Mark Ebner, Burkle was well-known as a longtime patron of high-end prostitutes. In an excised chapter from his biography of Paris Hilton, which he later posted online, Ebner wrote that Burkle and billionaire Ted Field hired Hilton, among others, to fly to Vegas for sex.
"We would party pretty hard," a source told Ebner. "Paris got naked, and the girls would get naked . . . There were times when you would have Ted or Ron come down, and they would pretty much pay for girl-on-girl action . . . They'd pay to watch girls going at it."
Another member of their circle was Steve Bing, a wealthy playboy with a private jet. (Bing is best known as the father of Elizabeth Hurley's child, and Hurley was later linked to Clinton by her ex-boyfriend Tom Sizemore. Hurley has denied an affair.)

The Oakland International Container Terminal (OICT) management closed operations on Wednesday at the Port of Oakland due to the independent trucker protests over California's gig worker law, known as AB5.
The Port's other three marine terminals are effectively shut down for trucks as well, the Port of Oakland told CNBC, while there are some vessel labor operations underway.
This is the third-day truckers have protested California's gig worker labor law, which was sparked by the rise of gig economy platforms like Uber, Lyft and DoorDash. A two-year legal stay was recently lifted when the Supreme Court decided not to hear a case which would have protected truckers from the impact of the law.
AB5 requires companies that hire independent contractors to reclassify them as employees, but there are some exceptions in the law across industries. The majority of truck drivers in California are owner-operator and many in this job category are concerned about their future. An estimated 70,000 truckers who own and drive their own trucks would fall under this law and they do not want to become an employee or part of a union in order to work.

These are the largest trucker protests to date over the law.
One of those protesting is Bill Aboudi, owner of AB Trucking. "So far there has been no contact with the governor's office. It seems the governor is not concerned about taking American workers' rights away," Aboudi said. "These are independent, small businesses that choose to operate their own trucks, and now that right is taken away from them. They do pay taxes, they do have insurance. It's their choice to do that."
CNBC reached out to Governor Gavin Newsom's office asking when the enforcement of the law would begin, as well as if truckers have a way within the law to remain independent. In an email to CNBC, the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) Director Dee Dee Myers stated that with the federal courts rejecting the trucking industry's appeals, "it's time to move forward, comply with the law and work together to create a fairer and more sustainable industry for all."
Governor Newsom's office wrote in a separate email to CNBC, "We also suspect the landscape may change (independent drivers becoming their own authority and/or then existing firms becoming an employee/driver model)."
West Coast trucking and the supply chain
At the Port of Oakland, over 2,100 trucks go through the terminals each day. It is the eighth-largest port in the country, importing a wide range of items, from Australian wine and meat to aluminum from South Korea, furniture from China, clothing and electronics.
The protests, which blocked the terminal gates, forced some longshoremen not to navigate through the crowds for fear of their safety. Dockworkers can refuse to enter a marine terminal if they feel "unsafe" or endangered in any way."
"The workers stood by on health and safety, as is permitted in our contract when conditions at the terminals present a risk," said Farless Dailey III, ILWU Local 10 President.
Port of Oakland officials tell CNBC that as a result of the lack of longshoremen to work at the terminals, there were closures. ILWU labor came to work this morning at SSA terminal, they said, however, once they arrived, some ILWU members chose not to enter the terminal. Without a full complement of labor, SSA decided to close its operations today.
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union and Pacific Maritime Association continue to negotiate over a new contract to replace one that expired July 1, and both have pledged to not to strike or have a labor lockout.
There are three other marine terminals at the Port of Oakland, with waterside operations underway. However, truck gate activity is either minimal or shut down depending on the terminal.
As a result of the protest, productivity has diminished and there are rising wait times for containers, according to CNBC Supply Chain Heat Map data provider Project44.
CNBC has been told by multiple sources the protests at the Port of Oakland will continue through Friday.
Last week one-hundred truckers protested at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach but because of the size of the ports, the impact was not as severe as Oakland. An estimated 15,000 trucks move through these ports daily, more than seven times the trucking capacity of Oakland. But even with their immense size, the ports of LA and Long Beach have been severely congested and any trucker disruption would only add to the massive container congestion.
The problem at these West Coast ports has been rail wait times are around 11 days. Trucking containers represented less than 40% of all long-dwelling containers at the ports. Because of the railroad container pile-up, land capacity at the Port of LA is currently 90%. Any delays in trucks picking up containers would only add to the congestion.
Container congestion takes boxes out of the supply chain for re-use and that drives up container prices because you have fewer containers available.
