The president, just before boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, held up a printout of an article from The Washington Post headlined “Prescription drug prices record sharpest drop in more than 60 years.” He encouraged photographers to snap images of him proudly holding up the story, making sure they got the shot. “And I told you that was going to happen,” Trump bragged, before moving onto hyping other positive headlines about himself. However, there was one problem. As The Guardian pointed out, The Post’s article stated that although “the White House took credit for the good news,” it also actually noted further down in the story how “some experts said a Biden-era policy that requires Medicare to negotiate prices for some popular prescription drugs is more likely …

The 37-year-old Irishman is also convinced he’ll have his way with Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 329 at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night. The two will meet in a welterweight bout, as McGregor will compete for the first time in more than five years. “Hallelujah!” McGregor exclaimed on Wednesday. “The Mac is back.” McGregor earned a unanimous decision over Holloway in a featherweight clash in 2013, when neither was an MMA megastar.
