I'll admit I've never heard of day 0/1/2 before.

I think it emphasizes the importance of the results - it's for everyone, not just scientific types. Back in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson "expressed interest" in the first close-up pictures NASA got from the Moon on Ranger 7. The freshly developed images were loaded onto a plane and the President got a private briefing with the head of NASA on the very same day. (sorry, I don't think I can link the picture) https://…
>President got a private briefing with the head of NASA head of NASA aka the Vice President. maybe you meant the NASA administrator?
I think they mean James Webb.
As a side note, I thought the NASA Administrator reported to POTUS.

#43I have no technical insight, but I'm SO stoked to see these images tomorrow.

Very possibly. It's in my head that the NASA Administrator "reported" to VPOTUS, but that could just be from a bit in a movie more so than real world.

#45Okay, anyone think it's strange that they pushed back the release at the last minute (to 1730EDT) -- and they have done a pretty poor job of making that obvious on their channels (eg twitter or live NASAtv feed). Strange strange.

Not particularly, would assume something came up and the briefing needed to be pushed 30 min. Don't think it's particularly strange for the President's schedule to be moved around.
As for the tweets, there is a tweet from yesterday: https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1546290906046816256
What exactly were you looking for?

Depends on what we see in the images. If we see space structures that are undeniable artificial, spanning tens of billions of light years in size, yes, that would be something that the president would announce.
If the telescope saw any undeniably artificial structure billions of light years in size, there would be a lot more to worry about than who announces it. It would effectively be like discovering god given how absurd a size billions of light years is.

45 minutes as of now, it’s getting ridiculous..

Yeah, get a move on!

#50If this "day 2" does not refer to an actual day (which does not have a real meaning if you're not on a planet), but to a phase, why do they call it "day" and not "phase"? Does "phase" have some kind of negative connotation, does it sound too "scientific"?
See for example "day 1" (Bezos / Amazon):
