Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst took a telephoto picture of the tabs that White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany flips in her binder when asked a question so she can immediately read talking points.
This is quite a list of topics in @PressSec Kayleigh McEnany's binder: Obama, Hate, China, Absurd, Hogan (!), CDC, Golf (!), Mueller, Flynn, Lies (!!), Wins (??), COVID, DACA, LGBT (?!), Masks, Karl (@jonkarl), etc. pic.twitter.com/ijkiJx3vAT

With approximately 50 subjects prepared, from “Absurb” to “Wins”, the topic cover various topics from individual people to foreign relations to domestic topics.
Presumably, some of the tabs, like “Media” and “Absurd,” contain pre-packaged zingers to either distract from questions for which there is not prepared or to wrap up the press briefings.
