Trump accepts White House Correspondents' Association dinner invitation for the first time as president
President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will attend the White House Correspondents' Association's (WHCA) annual dinner for the first time as president this April.
"The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge," Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday. "In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these 'Correspondents' now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER!"
He added, "Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
Shortly after the post, WHCA President Weijia Jiang released a statement celebrating Trump's decision.
"For more than 100 years, the journalists of the White House Correspondents' Association have enjoyed an evening with the president, a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment while supporting the work we do including awards honoring excellent journalism and scholarships to help the next generation of reporters who someday will be the ones asking the questions at the White House. We're happy the president has accepted our invitation and look forward to hosting him," the statement read.
WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER HOST SAYS 'NO ONE WANTS' TRUMP TO SHOW UP
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and the WHCA for comment.
Trump has never attended the WHCA event as president, skipping every yearly dinner during his first term in office as well as the 2025 dinner held during his second term.
Trump has not attended the dinner since 2011, where he was infamously mocked by Seth Meyers for his political aspirations.
"Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising because I just assumed he was running as a joke," Meyers said at the time.
'THE VIEW' CO-HOSTS RAGE AT WH CORRESPONDENTS' ASSOCIATION AFTER DROPPING ANTI-TRUMP COMEDIAN
Several commentators have credited the dinner for eventually inspiring Trump to run for president in 2015.
The 2025 dinner broke tradition after the WHCA canceled comedian Amber Ruffin's scheduled performance following White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich criticizing the decision to have her. Then-WHCA President Eugene Daniels said pulling Ruffin was part of an effort to move away from "the politics of division."
This year's dinner will be held on April 25 and feature famed mentalist Oz Pearlman.
Cardi B seemingly takes aim at ex, Patriots' Stefon Diggs, during concert rant: 'Who you playin' with?'
Cardi B appears to be taking shots at her ex-boyfriend, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, during one of her stops on her "Little Miss Drama Tour."
The rapper, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, may not have mentioned his name, but it was very clear who she was talking about when she went off during an onstage rant.
"It’s called principle," Cardi B said, announcing the next song she was going to perform at her San Francisco stop.

"You can’t be out here playing with a b---- like me. There’s n----- out here praying for a b---- like me."
As the crowd cheered, Cardi B continued on.
PATRIOTS' STEFON DIGGS ANSWERS CARDI B PROPOSAL QUESTION AHEAD OF SUPER BOWL LX
"I’m too sexy to be lonely and too grown to be played with. Who you playin’ with motherf-----?" she questioned.
Cardi B took to X to try and clarify her monologue, which went viral on social media.
"Dear blogs, when I perform a song I always introduce the song with a lil razzle dazzle.. not everything a shot or personal," she posted. "I’m actually repeating lyrics from the songs…Relax."
Cardi B and Diggs were one of the top celebrity couples during the 2025 NFL season, especially as she was spotted supporting the Patriots during their run to Super Bowl LX. Diggs and his squad were unable to secure victory, though, as the Seattle Seahawks came away with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
It was reported that Diggs and Cardi B ended their relationship "a few days" before Super Bowl LX in San Francisco after he allegedly "betrayed her so many times," per Page Six. People added that Cardi B ended the relationship because she "couldn’t trust" the 32-year-old veteran receiver any longer.
Cardi B and Diggs welcomed a baby boy on Nov. 13, 2025 – her fourth after having three children with her estranged rapper husband, Offset. Diggs has six total kids, including his boy with Cardi B, and four of his children were born in 2025.
Cardi B and Diggs sparked rumors of dating in February 2025, as they spent Valentine’s Day in Miami together.

UFC head Dana White dismisses concerns he's 'overtly political,' adds 'just be authentic'
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White shrugged off concerns that he was being too "overly political" through his friendship with President Donald Trump on "CBS News Sunday Morning."
White spoke with CBS News correspondent Luke Burbank about several topics, including his longtime support for Trump since acquiring the UFC decades earlier. This led to White endorsing Trump during the 2024 presidential election and eventually speaking at the Republican National Convention.
Burbank asked White whether he believed he should aim to be less "overtly political" out of concern that he could alienate potential fans.
DANA WHITE AND ANDREW SCHULZ COMMEND BILL MAHER FOR TRUMP WHITE HOUSE VISIT, BEING HONEST
"Particularly as it pertains to present sports leagues, I would think the idea would be try not to be overtly political because then you might lose half of your fan base or try to really kind of stay down the middle," Burbank remarked.
"How about be authentic and just be yourself?" White responded. "How about that? Just be authentic. You don't have to agree with me, and you don't have to like it, and I don't have to agree with you, but we can all still just get along. I mean, that's how this is supposed to work."
UFC CEO DANA WHITE MOCKS IDEA OF 'TOXIC MASCULINITY' ON '60 MINUTES'
Burbank reported that White was responsible for pushing Trump to speak on younger "manosphere" podcasts, which some have credited with helping the president win the election.
"Donald Trump is a guy’s guy. I knew that the younger generation could relate to Donald Trump," White said.
White similarly brushed off concerns in January that an upcoming UFC fight scheduled on the White House lawn to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary could be viewed as too political.

"I mean, I don’t know how it would be too political other than it’s at the White House," White said.
He added, "Listen, if you look back throughout history, I think [former President] George Bush was a big baseball fan, [former President Barack] Obama was an NBA fan and Trump is a UFC fan. I don’t think that any of those guys being fans made any sport too political."
The fight is scheduled for June 14, which also happens to be Trump's birthday.
Musk, xAI tout newest Grok update as only 'non-woke' platform: 'Doesn't equivocate''
X’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok has begun rolling out its first beta version of Grok 4.20, which Elon Musk and X say will provide not only better performance and new features but also the least "politically correct" platform in terms of liberal bias.
Over the past week, users on X, including Musk, have been touting search results from Grok showing "non woke" answers to questions about popular cultural issues and figures compared to results from Anthropic’s Claude, Open AI’s ChatGPT, and Google’s Gemini.
"Grok 4.20 is BASED," Musk also posted on X last week. "The only AI that doesn’t equivocate when asked if America is on stolen land. The others are weak sauce."
Musk’s post included screenshots of ChatGPT saying the "short answer" is "yes", Claude ultimately saying "yes" and Gemini saying the answer is "complex" while Grok responds with "No."
TRUMP SAYS HE PLANS TO ORDER FEDERAL BAN ON ANTHROPIC AI AFTER COMPANY REFUSES PENTAGON DEMANDS
In another post shared by Musk, the AI platforms are asked for a "yes" or "no" if President Donald Trump is "racist."
Grok responded with "No" while Gemini responded by saying the answer is not as simple as "yes" or "no." Claude and ChatGPT also declined to respond with a "yes" or "no": arguing it's a more nuanced issue.

"Grok 4.20 is the only non-woke AI in existence, engineered to pursue maximum truth, and deliver unfiltered, evidence-based answers where every other major model has been lobotomized by the woke mind virus," an xAI spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The recent attack on Iran by the United States and Israel also provided examples on social media of Grok results appearing less "biased" than other platforms, including a post showing what happened when each platform was asked a "yes" or "no" question about whether Trump was "right" to authorize the strike.
Grok responded with "yes" while ChatGPT said "no" and both Gemini and Claude argued that the situation was too nuanced to respond definitively one way or the other.
"In times of split second decision making by our nation’s top leaders — it’s clear which AI our military should be using," ‘The Katie Miller Show’ host and former DOGE adviser Katie Miller posted on X. "Truth-seeking is @grok’s best feature."
Various websites have attempted to track the political leanings of artificial intelligence platforms, including Dartmouth College's Polarization Research Lab, last updated in 2025, which ranked Gemini as the least political. In early 2025, a Manhattan Institute report concluded Grok was a close second to Gemini in terms of political bias.
An OpenAI spokesperson pointed Fox News Digital to its public ModelSpec which defines how ChatGPT should behave and "assume an objective point of view" and said "we actively test and measure political bias in ways that mirror real-world use and publish our findings, including evaluations across hundreds of prompts and real production traffic, where detectable political bias is rare (fewer than 0.01% of responses show any detectable political bias) and continues to decline with newer models."
Fox News Digital reached out to Anthropic and Google for comment.
'Deadliest Catch' deckhand dead at 25
Todd Meadows, the newest "Deadliest Catch" deckhand, died Feb. 25, while fishing off the coast of Alaska. He was 25.
Captain Rick Shelford called Meadows' death the "most tragic day in the history" of his boat, the Aleutian Lady, in a statement shared on social media.
Circumstances surrounding his death were not immediately available.

"Todd was the newest member of our crew, he quickly became family," Shelford wrote online. "His love for fishing and his strong work ethic earned everyone’s respect right away."
"His smile was contagious, and the sound of his laughter coming up the wheelhouse stairs or over the deck hailer is something we will carry with us always."

Shelford continued, "Todd’s love for his children, his family, and his life was evident in everything he did. He worked hard, loved deeply, and brought joy to those around him. Right now, our hearts are broken in a way that words can’t fully express."
The captain asked followers to pray for the late fisherman's children and family, "and keep them in your thoughts as they face the days ahead without him."
"Todd will forever be part of this boat, this crew, and this brotherhood," Shelford added. "Though we lost him far too soon, his legacy will live on through his children and in every memory we carry of him. Rest easy brother, till we meet again."
A crowdfunding campaign created to support Meadows' children noted that the angler died "while doing what he loved — crabbing out on Alaskan waters."
"He was a determined dad to three amazing little boys who were his entire world," the campaign said. "Everything he did was for them — their smiles, their futures, and the memories they will carry with them."
Representatives for the Discovery Channel show also confirmed Meadows' death in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.
"We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Todd Meadows. This is a devastating loss, and our hearts are with his loved ones, his crewmates, and the entire fishing community during this incredibly difficult time."
Trump admin warned lawmakers Israel was 'determined to act with or without us' before massive Iran strikes
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., described the recent U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran as a defensive measure, saying, "Israel was determined to act with or without us" following a classified briefing on Monday evening.
Johnson told reporters after the briefing that Israel viewed Iran’s capabilities as an existential threat and was prepared to conduct operations regardless of U.S. participation. He said Israel’s assessment shaped American deliberations, and it was "determined to act in their own defense here, with or without American support."
The speaker said administration officials had to weigh risks to U.S. forces, regional assets and interests before supporting the operation.
"They had to evaluate the threats to the U.S., to our troops, to our installations, to our assets in the region and beyond. And they determined, because of the intelligence that we had, that a coordinated response was necessary," Johnson said.
Johnson said he guarantees that if the U.S. had not acted, the Trump administration would have been hauled in by Congress and asked why they waited if they had "existential intelligence, knowing that that would happen."
"I am convinced that they did the right thing," he said.
Rubio confirmed that Israel was prepared to act against Iran and said the president "made a very wise decision."
"We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces," he told reporters. "And we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties."

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., a top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, emerged from the briefing and said he did not believe there was an "imminent threat" prior to Saturday’s strikes.
"There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians. It was a threat to Israel," he said. "We equate a threat to Israel is the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States. Then we are in uncharted territory."
"We have seen the goals for this operation change now, I believe 4 or 5 times," he went on.

Rubio insisted the operation was not about Iranian regime change but about taking out its capabilities as a threat to the region - focused on ballistic missiles and naval capacity.
He did not say whether strikes would extend to nuclear facilities.
"I do believe there is more than adequate justification for our American and Israeli actions," Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker, R-Miss., told reporters he believes there is "more than adequate justification for our American and Israeli actions," without saying more.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital in an interview afterward that he felt administration officials did a good job of illustrating the threat level faced by the U.S. in the days leading up to the strikes.
"I think that's largely been very open source. The president laid that out, you know, very clearly. It does go beyond that to what I can't get into, but it goes beyond that. I'm sure it'll come out in the administration's good time, but it's not for me to say," Mast said.
"But the more immediate nature of threats — I'm going through the negotiations with [Special Envoy Steve Witkoff], [Jared Kushner], Rubio, others that were a part of having those conversations and throughout that 10-day window of, you know, let's call it countdown to make a deal, the threats that were going on in that window is probably the high-side information that you have."
He also said there was a lot of daylight between what Democrats and Republicans in the briefing considered an "imminent threat."
"It's like, for me as a soldier, right, if I see an enemy machine gun nest, that to me, given that it's an enemy machine gun nest, is an imminent threat," Mast said. "To Democrats, unless that machine gun is burning up its barrels firing at you, it's not yet an imminent threat. And those are the two separate ways that we're looking at it.".
On February 26th, the U.S. launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran in coordination with Israel. The offensive campaign has resulted in the death of 49 top Iranian leaders, including the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Six U.S. service members have lost their lives in Iranian counterattacks.
The opening phase of the conflict struck more than 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours, according to Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. American B-2 bombers flew 37-hour round-trip missions from the continental United States to hit underground facilities with penetrating munitions, he added.
Tarot influencer’s claims in Idaho college murders case spark courtroom reckoning
A federal jury in Boise awarded $10 million to a University of Idaho professor after finding a Texas TikToker financially liable for spreading false claims that linked her to the 2022 stabbing deaths of four college students.
The decision came Friday in U.S. District Court in the case of Scofield v. Guillard. Jurors awarded $7.5 million in punitive damages and $2.5 million in compensatory damages, according to court records and reporting by the Idaho Statesman.
Professor Rebecca Scofield, who chairs the university’s history department, filed suit in December 2022 against Houston resident Ashley Guillard. The lawsuit stemmed from a series of TikTok videos in which Guillard alleged, without evidence, that Scofield had a romantic relationship with one of the victims and arranged the killings.
The victims, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, were stabbed to death in a rental home near campus in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 2022. The crime drew nationwide attention and left the campus community reeling.

Authorities later arrested Bryan Kohberger, a criminology doctoral student at nearby Washington State University at the time. He ultimately pleaded guilty in a deal that spared him the death penalty and is now serving four consecutive life sentences in an Idaho state prison.
In a statement to Fox News Digital following the verdict, Scofield expressed gratitude to the jury and said she hopes to close a painful chapter.
"I want to thank the jury for their time and attention to this case. The judge had already ruled as a matter of law that the statements were false. The $10 million verdict reinforces the judge’s decision and sends the clear message that false statements online have consequences in the real world for real people and are unacceptable in our community," Scofield said.
BRYAN KOHBERGER FIGHTS $27K RESTITUTION FOR VICTIMS’ FAMILIES WHILE TAKING MONEY BEHIND BARS
"The murders of the four students on November 13, 2022, was the darkest chapter in our university’s history. Today’s decision shows that respect and care should always be granted to victims during these tragedies. I am hopeful that this difficult chapter in my life is over, and I can return to a more normal life with my family and the wonderful Moscow community."
Court filings show that in June 2024, Chief U.S. Magistrate Judge Raymond Patricco determined that Guillard’s statements were legally defamatory, leaving only the question of monetary damages for a jury to decide.
According to the complaint, Guillard began posting videos in late November 2022 claiming Scofield had secretly been involved with one of the students and had "ordered" the killings. The lawsuit states Scofield had never met any of the victims and was out of state when the murders occurred.
IDAHO MURDER VICTIMS' FAMILIES EXPRESS OUTRAGE AFTER CRIME SCENE PHOTOS ACCIDENTALLY RELEASED
The filing further alleges that Guillard continued publishing the accusations even after receiving cease-and-desist letters and after police publicly indicated Scofield was not connected to the crime.
At the time, Guillard’s TikTok account had garnered more than 100,000 followers, with some of the videos receiving millions of interactions, according to court documents.
Scofield’s legal team argued the statements amounted to defamation because they accused her of criminal conduct and professional misconduct that could jeopardize her academic career.
During the damages trial, Scofield described the emotional toll of seeing her name associated with the murders online, according to the Idaho Statesman. Jurors deliberated for less than two hours before returning their verdict, the outlet reported.
Guillard, who represented herself in court, has maintained that her statements were expressions of belief tied to tarot card readings, according to courtroom coverage.
It was not immediately known whether she intends to appeal. Fox News Digital has reached out to Guillard for comment.
Steak 'n Shake sparks online debate with 21-cent bitcoin bonus for workers: 'This is the way'
Steak 'n Shake says it is giving its hourly employees a bitcoin bonus — a move the fast-food chain is touting as a first for the industry, and one that’s drawing strong reactions online.
The company announced its plans Sunday in an X post.
"Starting March 1, ALL hourly employees earn a bitcoin bonus of 21 cents per hour!" the post read.
The chain added that it would also offer a $1,000 contribution to the Trump Accounts, which are set to launch on July 4.
Passed in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) last year, Trump Accounts will provide $1,000 to every American child born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028.
"We aim to be a Maximum-Wage Employer in our respective communities," Steak 'n Shake's post said.
"We look to pay the best to obtain the best so we can give the best!"
The chain added, "We take care of our employees, who then take care of our customers, and the results take care of themselves!"
Fox News Digital reached out to Steak 'n Shake for comment.

"This is the way. Way to go, guys!" another person said.
Some other commenters, however, were skeptical.
"This seems more like a publicity stunt than anything that'll actually help," one X user wrote. "Six dollars extra a week, folks!! You're gonna … afford a cheeseburger."
"It's insulting you would even post about a $.21/hr raise," another critic said. "Your burgers suck, by the way."

This latest move is one of many major changes that Steak 'n Shake has made in the past year.
Just last month, the chain announced it would remove microwaves from its restaurants to "improve food quality and use traditional methods of cooking only."
Months earlier, multiple Steak 'n Shake restaurants began rolling out colossal American flags in an act of patriotism.
The company said that the displays were the "tallest and biggest American flag[s] that local governments will allow."
"Steak 'n Shake proudly supports American values and traditions," the chain said at the time.
New Jersey-bound United flight makes emergency landing at LAX after engine fire
A New Jersey-bound United Airlines flight that took off Monday in Los Angeles made an emergency landing shortly after departure due to an engine fire, aviation officials said.
United Airlines Flight 2127 took off from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) around 10:15 a.m. before turning around an hour later because of a left engine issue, the Federal Aviation Administration told Fox News Digital.
United flight 2127 safely returned to Los Angeles to address an issue with one of the engines," United told Fox News Digital. "Customers deplaned via slides and airstairs and were bused to the terminal.

The airline said none of the 256 passengers and 12 crew members on board the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner jet were injured. The FAA didn't specify the issue with the left engine.
Video footage of the plane on the tarmac shows smoke coming out of one of the engines as firefighters blast water inside.

The passengers were bused to a terminal and a different aircraft was arranged to fly them to their destination, United said.
"We are grateful to our pilots and flight attendants for their quick actions to keep our customers safe," the airline said.
Aaron Judge says Team USA baseball 'fired up' after hockey gold, wants to 'copy' what Olympic teams did
Another version of Team USA, this time on the baseball diamond, is preparing to bring home a gold medal, as the World Baseball Classic (WBC) is set to start this week.
The U.S. has done well in recent sporting events, including the men’s and women’s ice hockey teams, who both defeated Canada in the Milan Cortina Games last month. Both games ended with an overtime goal, with Megyn Keller’s backhand winning it for the women and Jack Hughes’ heroics for the men.
Team USA baseball captain Aaron Judge, the three-time MVP for the New York Yankees, made an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Monday, where he admitted those hockey performances were getting his teammates fired up for the WBC.

"Boys were fired up," he said when McAfee asked him his thoughts on Hughes’ goal in particular. "Hughes, man, we sent so many pictures of Hughes in the group text. It was great.
"It’s kinda cool that it’s going to snowball into this. Just the excitement we had when I was with the Yankees, and then with the group text, the boys were pumped up. Now, it’s WBC, we get the chance to throw on the red, white, and blue and copy what they did."
A-ROD, BIG PAPI, JETER HEADLINE FOX SPORTS' 2026 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC COVERAGE
Judge added that it was a "special run" both the men and women had.
Of course, Judge is hoping his two weeks away from the Yankees will be well worth it, as the U.S. seeks revenge for finishing with the silver during the 2023 WBC, losing to Japan in the championship game.
Judge’s teammate, first baseman Bryce Harper, shared the same sentiment as his captain. Harper has been wearing the Stars and Stripes for some time now, having played for the U-18 national team in 2008.
He announced he would play for the 2023 WBC team, but he was rehabbing from Tommy John surgery which didn’t allow him to play.
He’s healthy now and excited to represent his country once more.
"I learned when I was young, when you put U.S. on our hats, it’s about us," he explained when it was his turn to wear the headset on McAfee’s show. "That’s why it’s only U.S. and not USA. It’s about us. So, for our team, it’s about everybody that’s in that clubhouse. No matter where you came from, who you played for, what you got, we don’t care because every single day we come out here, it’s for the greater good of America. What we’re doing for the people, who we’re representing.
"I’m proud to be American. I’m so happy to be in this clubhouse with all these guys and there’s no greater feeling than going out there, hearing the national anthem blare over the speakers. Knowing what you represent."
Team USA begins its WBC schedule against Brazil on March 6 at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.
