CoS Office: This Week in Preview
Office of the Chief of Staff
Good evening, folks, from the Chief of Staff’s office!
I am happy to announce the beginning of a new program from our office! Every weekend, we will collect the plans of each eUSA Cabinet Leader and publish them for the public to see! In this way, we hope to increase visibility between citizens and their government and to keep the Cabinet accountable to its citizens. This week in Preview:
State Department
Trekker, the Secretary of State, has no major plans for the next week- at least not that he is at liberty to discuss. He will spend this week talking to allies, messaging foreign leaders about renewing Mutual Protection Pacts, and adding foreign heads of state to his friend list. He has found success in the past week while messaging the Presidents of foreign countries in the MPP stack! Close to half have returned messages wishing the eUSA well. There are exciting possibilities on the horizon, though, that we should watch for! Stay tuned!
Department of Defense
The Defense Department cannot release too much information (for obvious reasons
😉), but Senryaku, our Secretary of Defense, and his chair of NSC, RacoonGoon, plan to spend the next week settling into their message thread with leaders of Military Units and the NSC and updating military priorities as necessary. They also plan to continue to monitor the military situations of both our allies and enemies while advising BeachBunny on how to best keep the True Patriot damage flowing for our citizens through planned RWs. Finally, they also plan to discuss the viability of a new foreign excursion to bring some excitement in our lives, but more to come on that!
Senryaku also wants the public to know that he is basically revamping the USAF in many aspects, including supplies, regiments, and the roster. He is excited to say that he has calculated a drastic reduction in USAF expenditure! An article announcing these changes in detail should be expected sometime this week or early next week.
Department of Citizen Affairs
Citizen Affairs plans for an average week in most ways, continuing the high level of activity that we have seen from this department recently! All programs are up and running as per usual. Programs include American University, Question of the Day, Bank Up to Strength Up, Meals on Wheels, and Bewbs 4 Newbs! Contact Secretaries MrCarey or Aramec for more information on these programs!
Keeping with the momentum of article publishing, Secretaries MrCarey and Aramec are planning upcoming articles! MrCarey hopes to release an article on Party Presidents before the 15th Elections, and Aramec hopes to release another article as a part of the recent Party Education Series!
Both Secretaries are currently planning a surprise event to come soon. Keep a look out for the announcement of this soon to come!
Media Department
Derphoof, the Secretary of Media and the man with the mic, will be giving out his weekly dose of government-sponsored live talk show Monday at 10:00pm EST! Don’t miss the show! Be sure to log into #eNPR in IRC to communicate with the hosts and other listeners on the juicy news to come and watch for a link in shout feeds and IRC shortly before the broadcast starts!
The Media Department also plans to release an article this week! This will include a war report, an interview with a notable figure, and a look into DoCA programs! Don’t miss it!
Department of Technology
Middletopia, our Secretary of Technology, is currently out on vacation, but he has two videos (the contents of which he does not want to reveal) queued up and ready to publish when he comes home! Watch for the release of the next two videos of eUSA’s official videographer!
Have a good night and week, eUSA, and get active in your government!

Meow! ♥
very cool.. great idea to have the Chief of Staff run his own official newspaper.
two curious questions, though--
what Org was this, now resurrected from long ago to serve the CoS?
the content here, and outlined as forthcoming, looks like what the WHPR would normally be covering-- so what will we be seeing different from the official White House newspaper?
Flying Unicorn.
Stay tuned for the official WHPR. They'll be doing more of reporting on current events.
holy crap Flying Uniforn... MOVE TO KARNATAKA! 😛
I was a Unicorn.
USAF many spend all they want; as long as I don't pay. 🙂
Nice job! Good to hear from the Chiefs.
Great Job!!!
\o/ great job...!
Really? Renaming the FUS?
You've got a personal paper, use that. Don't go scribbling over history with a crayon.
We made sure to preserve the history.
and yet this is no longer the FUS.
You don't need a paper for this, you have a paper. If you don't want to use that, use the Press Room, that's where stuff like this should be put.
STFU...GTFO...go back to your loser forum
Pfeiffer, it seems like you've become the stereotypical old man of this game. Things change. Get over it.
There isn't a 'Presidents Paper' because we don't need one. There's the Press Room for information from the Executive Branch that isn't department specific, or which warrants a higher profile than the DoE or Interior papers would lend.
Tell me how changing the name of this org and paper were necessary, and I'll concede the point. The simple fact is that senior administration members have always used their personal papers or the Press Room. That's why the Press Room exists.
Could a personal paper be used? Sure!
Could the Press Room be used? Sure!
But we decided to use this one because we believe in a diverse set of media. We want different people writing government media. And there is no reason not to use and org that has been sitting around idle for years. The government has the orgs and it is time we started using some of them.
We wanted to distinguish that this is a CoS Office Paper with a specific and that it will be a regular, weekly paper. Personal papers and the Press Room don't do that effectively. That is the reason to remake and use a retired paper. What is the reason not to? None of the papers have been altered or deleted. What is actually lost by doing this?
specific purpose*
Another thing, you weren't too concerned when a huge portion of Congressional history was lost when you all switch servers...
That wasn't a choice that was made, the former Admin had RL intervene to the point that we LOST the server. We didn't make a choice to move to a new one. You need to pay more attention if you're going to do more than throw out gibberish.
...and that friends is why you use free Forum Software, so when someone must leave for RL issues, they can simply pass the admin info to the new owners and we carry on..
@FS - not true. Ask the Feds about the loss of their old forum because the old Fed who owned it went awol. It was a tragic loss and it can happen to anyone's forum.
That is why you always have at least two or three people who have Admin privileges, doubt serious if two or three will all go AWOL at the same time.
I love it! Great effort and I love the utilization of gov papers.
Glad you kept the all of 14 FUS articles, but these orgs exist for utilization by the current gov, not as mothballed digital museums.
I just wonder how many such Orgs this country actually owns...?
20ish? Only a handful have newspapers though. Like 5? Maybe? A few more.
The reason we are not making use of them?
Oh right, the history that would be lost?
I like this.
I wish its content were a little more than it is... too much of this is going to inevitably be "we can't tell you"...
But I like it.
How long will it last?
As long as i'm here Gnilraps. Can't say anything about the next CoS. We'll work on increasing content and making sure we share a lot of information.
