Rebranding the Jaguar to woke didn’t do a thing for sales. One of Britain’s most storied luxury brands is barely selling cars. They believe it was the EV investment. Now, with US tariffs, they expect zero cash flow. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi each retained market stability. They hadn’t rebranded with creepy ads.

Charlize Theron went off on Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s over-the-top wedding to Lauren Sanchez Saturday, before switching gears to rant about politics. The 49-year-old actress made the remarks while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on Saturday. “I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,” Theron quipped while on stage, per Page Six. “But that’s okay, because they suck and we’re cool.” The “Monster” actress voiced more of her opinions, thanking attendees for “taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it’s burning because it is.” “Here in Los Angeles, in the U.S. and across the globe, we’re moving backwards fast,” Theron said. “Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women’s rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise.” “This isn’t just policy, it’s personal,” she added. Theron also reacted to the applause for her comments, saying, “Yeah, f*** them.” JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free Theron, whose adopted son identifies as a girl, expressed her unequivocal support for drag queens in 2023. “We love you queens! We’re in your corner, and we’ve got you, and I will f*** anybody up who is, like, trying to f*** with anything with you guys,” the “Mad Max” star said at the time. “In all seriousness, there are so many things that are hurting and, really, killing our kids, right, and we all know what I’m talking about right now,” Theron went on, adding that drag was virtuous and made viewers “better” for watching it. “If you’ve ever seen a drag queen lip sync for her life, it only makes you happier, it only makes you love more. It makes you a better person,” Theron said. “F***, if I could do a death drop right now I would, but I would probably like, break my hip,” she added. Theron is not the only Hollywood star to criticize Bezos and Sanchez’s $50-million Venice wedding. Rosie O’Donnell said “it turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all,” calling Sanchez a “fake fem bot.” Mia Farrow, Katie Couric, and Olivia Munn all also took to social media to make snide comments about the wedding.

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump assured faith leaders on Monday that his administration is fighting for religious liberty and peace throughout the world. “Together, we’re fighting to defend religious liberty like no administration has ever done before,” the president said. He spoke during a call with more than 10,000 faith leaders from across the country on the first Faith Office National Conference call of his second term, a senior White House official told The Daily Wire. Trump participated in several of these calls during his first term, and they include individuals of all faiths — Christians, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, and more. Participants on Monday’s call included Special Assistant to the President Jenny Korn, White House Faith Office Director Paula White Cain, who led prayers during the call, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The president thanked the faith leaders for their work to help those in need across the country, and he shared some updates on the Trump administration’s efforts to protect religious freedom. Trump detailed how he moved the faith office into the White House, as he had promised, and he emphasized to the faith leaders that he sought to stop “the radical war on Christians” as soon as he entered office. “I [pardoned] the pro-life activist thrown in jail for praying and peaceful protest, and there were many of them,” he noted. He pointed out that his administration “reinstated the service members thrown out of our military over religious objections to the Biden vaccine mandates,” restoring them “to their former rank with full pay backpay and penalties.” “I set up a DOJ taskforce to eradicate anti-Christian bias — who would ever think — but that’s happening also and it has happened and nobody ever talks about that,” Trump added. He pointed to Friday’s Supreme Court ruling, where the justices ruled that schools violate religious liberty when they bar parents from opting their children out of classroom instruction involving LGBT-themed books. That was a major win for religious conservatives and for the White House, which has championed parents and their right to decide what their children are taught. “Just last Friday we had historic victory for religious liberty and parents’ rights at the Supreme Court of the United States,” Trump told the faith leaders. “Parents will now be allowed to opt out of having inappropriate books and sexual literature forced upon their children.” He also mentioned his major focus of the week: the One Big Beautiful Bill, describing to the faith leaders how it would impact children’s education, and calling it “the most pro-family legislation in modern times.” (Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) “When we pass the One, Big, Beautiful Bill will also have a tremendous victory for school choice,” he explained. “This bill is the most pro-family legislation in modern times…It also expands the Child Tax Credit and creates brand new ‘Trump Accounts’ for every newborn child helping them to get a stronger life, which is what they need. Everyone should let their congregations and members of Congress know that they support the One, Big, Beautiful Bill.” The president specifically discussed how his administration is seeking peace throughout the world, pointing to last week’s strikes on Iran, and noting that last Friday he helped sign a “historic peace agreement” ending the “terrible conflict between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.” “As we restore prosperity for American families at home, we’re also bringing peace and stability back to our world,” he told the faith leaders. “Earlier this month we carried our historic strikes out against Iran’s nuclear program and we ended the 12 Day War.”

President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Monday lifting sanctions on Syria, the latest step in warming relations between Trump and Syria’s new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa. The executive order, Providing for the Revocation of Syria Sanctions, will terminate various sanctions programs on Syria and the national emergency with respect to Syria, beginning on January 1, according to the Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “These actions reflect the President’s vision of fostering a new relationship between the United States and a Syria that is stable, unified, and at peace with itself and its neighbors,” Rubio said in a statement. “U.S. sanctions will not be an impediment to Syria’s future.” The announcement comes after Trump met with Sharaa — who toppled Syria’s anti-American dictator, Bashar al-Assad — during his visit to Gulf nations in May. After the meeting, Trump described the terrorist turned head of state as a “young attractive guy” with a “very strong past.” The meeting between Trump and Sharaa was the first meeting between an American president and a Syrian leader in 25 years. “He’s got a real shot at holding it together,” Trump said of Sharaa. “I spoke with [Turkish] President Erdogan, who is very friendly with him. He feels he’s got a shot of doing a good job. It’s a torn-up country.” Al-Assad was toppled by Sharaa and his U.S.-designated terrorist organization, Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, in December. Sharaa, who was once affiliated with Al-Qaeda and ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, had a $10 million FBI bounty on his head for almost a decade before it was lifted in 2024. Rubio said he will also take “appropriate action” with regard to the Foreign Terrorist Organization designation of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham group, and review the Specially Designated Global Terrorist designations of the group and Sharaa. Rubio will also reexamine Syria’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, enacted in 1979. “Today’s actions mark the beginning of a new chapter for the people of Syria as they work to shape a future that is safe, stable, and successful,” Rubio added. The executive order also states that Rubio will determine if the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, signed by Trump in 2019, should be suspended. The act sanctioned the former Syrian government for war crimes and designated several Syrian industries, but includes a provision for the president to waive sanctions if certain conditions are met. Sanctions will remain on Assad, his associates, human rights abusers, traffickers, people linked to Syria’s past proliferation activities, ISIS and Al-Qaeda affiliates, and Iran and its terrorist proxies. The executive order will also relax some restrictions on exports to Syria. “This is in an effort to promote and support the country’s path to stability and peace,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday. “The order will remove sanctions on Syria while maintaining sanctions on the former president Assad and his associates, human rights abusers, drug traffickers, persons linked to chemical weapons activities, ISIS and their affiliates, and Iranian proxies.” According to the order, “the United States is committed to supporting a Syria that is stable, unified, and at peace with itself and neighbors” and a “Syria that does not offer a safe haven for terrorist organizations and ensures the security of its religious and ethnic minorities will support regional security and prosperity.” It adds that Syria has been transformed in the last six months since Sharaa’s government took over for Assad. Sharaa has been accused of grave human rights violations and reportedly plans to impose strict sharia law in the country. But since taking office, he has also sought to reinvent himself as a moderate force for a tolerant Syria. He has repeatedly denied that he was a terrorist, including in a PBS interview where he said “it’s a political label that carries no truth or credibility.” Sharaa has worked hard to grow relations with Trump since he took office, including signaling he would be willing to normalize relations with Israel, allow the United States to have access to Syrian oil and gas, and reportedly stating he wants a Trump Tower in Damascus.

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk said on Monday he will actively work toward ensuring GOP lawmakers who vote to pass the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” despite campaigning on promises to rein in government spending will lose their primaries. The warning from Musk, whose alliance with President Donald Trump crumbled several weeks ago after he began openly criticizing the legislation, came as Republicans worked toward getting the 900-page-plus measure passed by the end of this week through the budget reconciliation process. “Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!” Musk said in a post on X. “And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.” Such a move would mark a huge turnaround for Musk, who spent more than $250 million to help Trump and other Republicans win elections last year before spearheading the current administration’s Department of Government Efficiency effort through last month with a stated mission of getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse. Musk also chided members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and begrudged how the bill may phase out green energy tax credits that could impact customers of his Tesla business. He even proposed the creation of a new political party. “It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!! Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people,” he said, adding later, “If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.” JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free Trump has similarly threatened back primary challengers against Republicans, but he did so against those who have spoken out against the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” One of them, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), announced on Sunday he would not seek re-election. Another is Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). GOP leaders in the House and Senate are racing to get the legislation, which aims to fulfill many of Trump’s spending and tax-cut goals for his second term, to the president’s desk by his stated deadline of July 4. Topline items include extending the 2017 tax cuts set to expire at the end of this year, boosting funds for border security, and cutting red tape for American energy production. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in a post on X the bill will be “JET FUEL” for the United States economy. “It makes the Trump tax cuts permanent, eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, provides tax relief for seniors, and slashes regulations to spur job creation and economic growth,” he said. While the legislation did initially pass out of the House in late May, provisions in the bill have undergone a makeover, in part because the Senate parliamentarian determined they did not adhere to rules for reconciliation. As of press time, the process was ongoing as the upper chamber worked through a vote-a-rama on amendments. Some, but not all proposed reforms, including an offering from Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) to “punish states that give Medicaid benefits to illegal aliens convicted or charged with crimes like murder or sex trafficking,” do not appear to be making it into the final product. Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), one of the Freedom Caucus members singled out by Musk, took a swipe at Senate Republicans for how their version of the bill is shaping up. “We’d be in a much better spot if Republican Senators (applying for K St) showed half as much passion for tackling $37 trillion in debt and inflation as they do for preserving [Former President Joe] Biden’s green subsidies,” Roy said in a post on X.

No one ever wants to think about what will happen when they die, but it’s a part of life for all of us. When you’re in a position of power, like King Charles, these things must be discussed and planned far in advance. His son, William, is the heir to his throne and has certainly been busy with his royal duties as of late. But William isn’t an only child. His brother, Prince Harry, famously left his royal duties behind and moved to California. Although their relationship is strained, King Charles reportedly wants Prince Harry and Prince William to be part of his funeral. This afternoon, The King hosted a special reception at Buckingham Palace for the winners of The King’s Trust Awards 2025. Alongside the @KingsTrust’s fantastic supporters and ambassadors, His Majesty met award winners in both the UK and Global categories.The King’s Trust… pic.twitter.com/NL9Qqgn62l— The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) June 25, 2025 King Charles Wants Prince Harry At His Funeral And All Royal Events The New York Post reported per The Telegraph that plans are in place even though the king’s death isn’t imminent. King Charles reportedly made it very clear that both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are “at the heart” of his funeral plans. The king also wants his grandchildren, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie. Per the Post, King Charles expects Prince Harry to walk with his brother, who will be King, at the front of the procession from Westminster Abbey and through the streets of London. Harry and Megan will also be part of the family vigil. At this point, King Charles focuses on more than just his funeral and continues to live his busy life. The Royal Family x account recently shared photos of King Charles at the King’s Trust Awards. “This afternoon, The King hosted a special reception at Buckingham Palace for the winners of The King’s Trust Awards 2025. Alongside the @KingsTrust ’s fantastic supporters and ambassadors, His Majesty met award winners in both the UK and Global categories.
