Press Briefing Guest List — Take Out The Trash Day (S01E13)
A single letter‑size sheet titled 'Guest List,' densely typed with names, affiliations, and columned checkboxes; several entries circled or underlined in blue pen, a sticky tab marking a VIP block, and a faint coffee ring at the lower edge. Corners are softened from handling and the margins carry brief scrawled notes and checkmarks. Staffers and C.J. pick it up off the desk, scan names, and tap or cross entries while confirming who will stand or speak at the briefing/signing.

Purpose
To record and organize attendees, affiliations, and seating/attendance for a press briefing or bill‑signing event, enabling logistical coordination and media/optics management.
Significance
Acts as a practical logistics prop that configures political optics: by listing invited figures (e.g., the Lydells, senators) it signals priorities, constrains messaging choices, and factors into immediate tactical decisions when the contentious abstinence‑plus report hits C.J.'s desk.
