BREAKING: Trump may have accidentally chosen the wrong Dana White for his White House Press Secretary offer.
There is a woman named "Dana White" who is the former Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, more commonly known as the Pentagon's chief spokesperson, from April 2017 to the end of 2018.
She briefed the press from the Pentagon podium, and served as the principal media adviser and communications lead for the Secretary of Defense. She also was a Fox News publicist and worked at the conservative Heritage Foundation. She even started her career as a press secretary for the House Republican Conference.
Someone at the White House likely recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC CEO Dana White, then went ahead and announced it on Truth Social thinking it's his UFC friend, and nobody around him was willing to correct him.
Furthermore, Trump is actively searching for a new press secretary after Karoline Leavitt left and Katie Zacharia lasted five days, so names are being pitched to him right now.
Per CNN, UFC's Dana White has declined the offer, and one aide now claims Trump was "joking."

BASH: You have signaled you intend to investigate the 'Trump crime family.' How far does that go? Do you want to include Don Jr and Jared Kushner?
GARCIA: This is the most corrupt family to ever be in the White House
BASH: So yes?
GARCIA: Absolutely. They should be expected to answer questions

Vance throws Trump under the bus in a desperate bid to save his political career going forward to the 2028 campaign. How many of you think Trump will let him get away with that with almost 2 years to go?

Thomas Massie says he'll have the 218 signatures next week to force a House vote on a new Epstein files bill.
It would let survivors get their own records and let state attorneys general prosecute.

One evening, President Obama
and his wife Michelle decide
to break the routine and have dinner in an ordinary, not luxurious, restaurant.
Once seated, the restaurant owner asked the President's Secret Service for permission to speak to the First Lady.
In private. They agreed and Michelle had a conversation with him.
Following the conversation,
The President asks Michelle why he wanted to talk to her. She replies that when she was a teenager, he was madly in love with her.
The President then said
"So if you had married him,
"You would be the owner of this charming restaurant today,"
to which she replies:
"No, if I had married him, he would be President."

Owen Jones doesn’t half pick ‘em.
From furiously insisting Huw Edwards was the victim of a media witch-hunt, to cuddling Russell Brand on stage. One’s now a convicted ped°phile, the other’s just been found guilty of rape.
You really can judge a man by the company he keeps.

Please don’t share this. Talcum X has often judged folx by the company they keep or celebrate; we shouldn’t now do it to him.
Thank you 💋

so @elonmusk took the company that popularised expensive ev cars and developed a electric trash can, lied about fsd, lied about going to mars, stole tech from openai to make grok, destroyed a leading american social media company and now is going to destroy his starlink service.

It gave us modern new rolling stock, record passenger numbers and the safest railways in Europe cf state-owned Spain. Other than that a complete failure.

"Niall Ferguson and the emptying of the right-wing mind" As we witness the overdue collapse of the MAGA movement, here is a piece of mine on how supposedly civilised British conservatives rushed to endorse the corrupt leader of a hostile foreign power

Minor in scheme of things.
But had to "apologise" to Brand who threatened me with lawyers at Guardian in 2014.
The correction read "This article was amended on 31 October 2014. An earlier version said 'A lot of what he says is ghostwritten sub-Chomskyian woo'. This has been corrected."

In the land of Shakespeare, drama isn’t even a subject in its own right. Ridiculous. It has the lowly status of pedagogical tool or a ‘module’ within English.
“The full national curriculum is expected to be published later this year. Powell said it would include adding drama as “a distinct module [in English] in key stage 3 for the first time” ‘a module ffs’
