In other news, U.S. Secret Service Director Julia Pierson resigned today following several subsequent debacles. Joseph Clancy will serve as the interim head of the agency.

I’m not big on resignations, but in this case it feels entirely appropriate. Allowing the White House fence jumper to reach the green room before being taken down by an off-duty agent was bad, but allowing an armed contractor to enter an elevator with the president (and apparently not telling him about it) is unforgivable.
