@regendans The White House’s website *was* moved from Drupal to WordPress in 2017. See this 2018 post grading the WordPress install (I can’t speak at all to the grade itself, just pointing out that it was powered by WP by the time that post was published in January 2018). https://www.rawkblog.com/2018/01/grading-white-house-wordpress/

yahoo news | Psaki Laughs Out Loud at ‘Bananas’ Melania – Jeffrey Epstein Bombshell: ‘Am I Ha...Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary now hosting MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” erupted in laughter as she introduced Melania Trump’s surprise press conference, calling it “absolutely mind‑blowingly bananas.” During the segment, Psaki replayed the First Lady’s brief statement in which Melania denied any ties to the late sex‑offender Jeffrey Epstein and condemned “false smears” that link her to his crimes. Psaki’s reaction highlighted how unexpected the event was, noting that even the White House staff seemed caught off guard and that the timing of the announcement left many wondering why the First Lady chose to resurrect the Epstein story now.The article details how Melania’s remarks were brief but self‑important, emphasizing that she “never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell.” Psaki mocked the seriousness of the moment, joking about whether she was hallucinating and speculating that the press conference might be an attempt to pre‑empt a story a reporter was working on. She also pointed out the absurdity that prediction markets had taken bets on what the First Lady would say, with most wagers focused on unrelated topics like education, peace, or AI—none of which matched Melania’s denial of any connection to Epstein.Overall, the piece portrays Psaki’s commentary as both humorous and critical, using the unexpected press event to underscore the strange optics of a First Lady holding a formal, televised denial of a scandal that has long hovered in the public consciousness. The article concludes that Melania’s attempt to clear her name has reignited media interest in Epstein, while Psaki’s amused yet skeptical take serves as a reminder of how political communication can quickly become a spectacle.Read more: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/psaki-laughs-loud-bananas-melania-154728179.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall#jenpsaki #melaniatrump #jeffreyepstein #whitehouse #maxwell

yahoo news | Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg appointed to White House advisory councilMeta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been appointed by President Donald Trump to serve on a new White House science and technology advisory council. The 13‑member panel is tasked with shaping the administration’s policies on artificial intelligence, and it includes other high‑profile tech leaders such as Oracle executive chairman Larry Ellison and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Zuckerberg said he was “honored to join the President’s council and work with other industry leaders to help make this happen,” emphasizing the group’s role in guiding the nation’s AI strategy. The announcement coincided with a high‑profile court ruling in which a jury found both Meta and YouTube liable for contributing to a plaintiff’s addiction to social‑media platforms and subsequent mental‑health issues. The plaintiff, a 20‑year‑old Californian, argued that the companies’ negligence was a substantial factor in her harm, and the verdict underscores growing legal scrutiny of tech firms’ impact on children and young adults. In the same period, Meta disclosed a sizable layoff, trimming hundreds of jobs as part of a broader reorganization. While the cuts reflect ongoing cost‑saving measures, executives have hinted that the company will lean more heavily on artificial‑intelligence technologies moving forward, a shift that aligns with Zuckerberg’s new advisory‑council responsibilities.Read more: https://wjactv.com/news/nation-world/meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-appointed-to-white-house-advisory-council#meta #markzuckerberg #whitehouse #donaldtrump
