Original Note:
“Calling a lid” simply means there will be no more press briefings that day. This has often coincided with live incidents that require attention in the situation room. For example, the White House called a lid on the day that Osama Bin Laden was killed. https://politicaldictionary.com/words/lid/ https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/04/30/osama-bin-laden-death-white-house-oral-history-484793
