Left-wing critics are continuing to crash out over an American Eagle Outfitters ad campaign for their fall jean collection with actress Sydney Sweeney, deeming the ads racist and Nazi-coded.
As covered by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-sexy-sydney-sweeney-ad-campaign-has-internet-celebrating-the-end-of-woke?author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=New+Sexy+Sydney+Sweeney+Ad+Campaign+Has+Internet+Celebrating+The+End+Of+‘Woke’">The Daily Wire</a>, the ad campaign plays on the concept of good genetics and blue jeans &#8212; using the tagline, &#8220;Sydney Sweeney has good jeans.&#8221;
In one of the ads, Sweeney says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.”

An MSNBC op-ed <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/sydney-sweeney-american-eagle-ad-whiteness-rcna221630">said</a> the American Eagle ads were evidence of the &#8220;unbridled cultural shift toward whiteness,&#8221; which the author suggested was &#8220;ugly and startling.&#8221;
&#8220;The internet has been quick to condemn the advertisement as noninclusive at best and as overtly promoting &#8216;white supremacy&#8217; and &#8216;Nazi propaganda&#8217; at worst,&#8221; the op-ed reads, calling some of this criticism &#8220;fair.&#8221;
&#8220;These critics point to the copy and the implication of calling a white person superior because of their genes,&#8221; the piece continues, adding that the &#8220;campaign feels regressive and not retro, offensive and not cheeky.&#8221;

Chris Martin’s ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow was hired by the tech company Astronomer as a “very temporary” spokesperson in the wake of a huge PR incident for the company.
The A-list actress appeared in a short video loosely alluding to the viral moment but mostly just promoting the company as the world continues to obsess over the moment their former CEO, Andy Byron, was caught in an embrace with a woman who was not his wife during a Coldplay concert.
The video was shared to the company’s social media accounts and was captioned, “Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. <a href="https://t.co/WtxEegbAMY">pic.twitter.com/WtxEegbAMY</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“Hi, I’m Gwyneth Paltrow,” the “Avengers: Endgame” alum began as she smiled for the camera. “I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer.”
After her introduction, Paltrow explained that she would be answering the most common questions the company has received over the last two weeks, starting with, “OMG! What the actual f***?”
“Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, unifying the experience of running data, ML and AI pipelines at scale,” Paltrow said.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve been thrilled that so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation,&#8221; she went on. “As for the other questions we’ve received …” she said, before the next question appeared on screen.
It said, “How is your social media team holding &#8230;”
“Yes, there is still room available at our Beyond Analytics event in September!” Paltrow said before the question finished, before further promoting the company. &#8220;We will now be returning to what we do best — delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.”
The video, posted on Friday evening, has over 30 million views on X as of Saturday.
Astronomer has become a household name ever since the viral video clip of Byron embracing a woman identified by many as Kristin Cabot, the Chief People Officer for the company. After being spotted on the kiss cam, the two quickly stepped away from each other and out of frame after realizing they were being broadcast to the entire stadium at the July 16 Coldplay show in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
In the aftermath, Byron resigned as CEO and Astronomer is attempting to pivot the moment into good publicity for themselves.
Commenters on social media noted the tactic of using Martin’s ex-wife to do damage control on the company’s image. Many even speculated on whether the whole kiss cam viral moment was a publicity stunt, based on the outcome.
“You hired the Coldplay singer’s ex-wife. Extraordinary,” one commenter <a href="https://x.com/RobertMSterling/status/1948911701279343035">wrote</a>.
“Damn, this is a masterclass in PR and crisis control,” another <a href="https://x.com/tayoainafilms/status/1949009918154911885">said</a>.
“Wait was this one big Psyop to know where the best place to run Apache Airflow is?” a third <a href="https://x.com/ErikGroset/status/1948924105077784932">added</a>.

The owner of the famed In-N-Out Burger chain, billionaire Lynsi Snyder, a devout Christian, has announced she is leaving California, where her family spent three generations building its fast-food empire, and moving to Tennessee.
In-N-Out has 400 locations in California, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, and Utah, but has deliberately not expanded its chain nationwide.
“While McDonald’s and Burger King serve well over 80 different items, In-N-Out famously serves fewer than 15: burgers, cheeseburgers, fries, soda, milk shakes and the signature two-patty Double-Double,” <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/chloesorvino/2018/10/10/exclusive-in-n-out-billionaire-lynsi-snyder-opens-up-about-her-troubled-past-and-the-burger-chains-future/">Forbes</a> noted in 2018, adding, “Snyder is popular with her 26,000 employees. She has a 99% approval rating on Glassdoor.com, the job-reviews site. &#8230; The average In-N-Out manager has been with the company for 17 years and makes $163,000, more than the typical California dentist, accountant or financial advisor. Managers get profit-sharing, too. &#8230; Bible verse numbers have appeared on burger wrappers and cups since 1985.”
In-N-Out is building an office in Tennessee to serve as a hub for expansion in the southeastern United States. Snyder cited rising crime in California as one of the motivations for her move, saying the company was forced to close its Oakland location last year because it had become too &#8220;dangerous&#8221; for employees.
“We’re building an office in Franklin, I’m actually moving out there,” Snyder <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8HnqAgtlcc">told</a> conservative podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey. “Raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here. &#8230; It will be wonderful having an office out there, growing out there. &#8230; We’ve kind of given it a longer runway so that it’s smoother for everybody, so they can plan. &#8230; a lot of notice because we love them and want to make it as easy as possible, but by 2030, we’ll close the Irvine office.”
When the Irvine, California, office closes, operations are expected to be consolidated in Baldwin Park, where In-N-Out was founded more than 77 years ago. The Baldwin Park headquarters will oversee operations on the West Coast.
During the COVID pandemic, the restaurant <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-10-27/inside-in-n-out-burgers-escalating-war-with-california-over-covid-19-vaccine-rules">refused</a> to check the vaccine status of customers in San Francisco&#8217;s only In-N-Out, flouting the city’s regulations. “There were so many pressures and hoops we had to jump through. &#8230; It was really terrible &#8230; that was definitely where we held the line and were like ‘We’re not policing our customers.’ &#8230; We were shut down for a brief moment but it was worth it,” Snyder recalled.
“Number one priority is really keeping the company the same company that my grandparents started,” she stated. “I want the legacy to continue. We’re doing that but we’re growing and we’re so much bigger than when they started it. So growth is healthy and we have to have that growth and so it’s really having that balance of okay, we have all of these amazing people coming up through management; they want to have a store one day. So we have to have some growth, but we don’t want to be on every corner; we don’t want to be in every state; we don’t want to ever compromise our values and standards; the cornerstones that my grandparents laid down.”

The new CEO of Astronomer, the tech company at the center of a kiss cam scandal from last week, issued a new statement on the situation.
Pete DeJoy, who stepped into the role after the former CEO, Andy Byron, resigned on Saturday, noted the “unusual and surreal” amount of attention the company has received ever since a TikTok of the Coldplay concert incident went viral.
In the video clip, the former CEO, Byron, is seen embracing a woman when the camera lands on the couple. The two quickly stepped away from each other and out of frame after realizing they were being broadcast to the entire stadium at the July 16 show in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Online sleuths quickly identified the man as Byron and claimed the woman was Kristin Cabot, who is Chief People Officer for Astronomer. The company has not clarified the identities of either person in the video other than to say an investigation is taking place and to note that Byron has resigned as CEO.
&#8220;The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name,&#8221; DeJoy wrote in the lengthy update <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/moving-forward-astronomer-pete-dejoy-zygze/">shared</a> on LinkedIn.
The CEO and co-founder, who said he spent his entire professional life helping build Astronomer, noted that the company has faced “challenges” before, including financial struggles and “scaling from 30 to 300 people during a global pandemic.”
&#8220;And yet, we’re still here,&#8221; DeJoy continued. &#8220;We’re here because Astronomer is built by people who live to solve hard problems, stay late to fix what’s broken, and care deeply about doing things the right way. We’re here because our customers trust us with their most ambitious data &amp; AI projects. And, most importantly, we’re here because the mission is bigger than any one moment.&#8221;
He concluded the letter by saying the company’s “story is very much still being written” and thanking customers for their “trust.”
“We won’t let you down,” DeJoy promised.

Astronomer CEO Addresses ‘Unusual And Surreal’ Attention Following Coldplay Kiss Cam Drama

Astronomer CEO Addresses 'Unusual And Surreal' Attention Following Coldplay Kiss Cam Drama

The president of the Cleveland Guardians rebuffed President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the team re-adopt its prior name, the Cleveland Indians.
Trump’s suggestion came amid his statements calling for the NFL’s Washington Commanders to re-adopt the name Washington Redskins. On Sunday, he <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114885987478070699">wrote</a> on Truth Social:
<blockquote>
The Washington “Whatever’s” should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!
</blockquote>
Five hours later, he <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114887236310446076">added</a>:
<blockquote>
My statement on the Washington Redskins has totally blown up, but only in a very positive way. I may put a restriction on them that if they don&#8217;t change the name back to the original &#8220;Washington Redskins,&#8221; and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, &#8220;Washington Commanders,&#8221; I won&#8217;t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington. The Team would be much more valuable, and the Deal would be more exciting for everyone. Cleveland should do the same with the Cleveland Indians. The Owner of the Cleveland Baseball Team, Matt Dolan, who is very political, has lost three Elections in a row because of that ridiculous name change. What he doesn&#8217;t understand is that if he changed the name back to the Cleveland Indians, he might actually win an Election. Indians are being treated very unfairly. MAKE INDIANS GREAT AGAIN (MIGA)!
</blockquote>
Guardians president Chris Antonetti responded, “I understand there are very different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago, but it’s a decision we made and we’ve gotten the opportunity to build the brand as the Guardians over the last four years and we’re excited about the future that’s in front of us,” as <a href="https://x.com/zackmeisel/status/1946961807198875727?s=46&amp;t=LuLzStMNvByXMHfO71_ucQ">The Athletic</a> reported.
At a campaign rally in March 2024 in Dayton, Ohio, Trump <a href="applewebdata://B140A885-0203-4914-B564-DAE509C43B86/v">slammed</a> the Dolan family, declaring, “I like sports and I like tradition. So you have a team called the Cleveland Indians. Indians. They&#8217;re Indians. And they took the team Cleveland Indians and made it to the Cleveland Guardians. Almost like they&#8217;re in charge of a trust fund.”
In December 2020, months after demonstrations related to the death of George Floyd called for racial justice, the Cleveland franchise announced it would drop the “Indians” name due to growing pressure around racial sensitivity. Some groups had criticized the team&#8217;s Chief Wahoo logo as an offensive caricature that was culturally disrespectful. The franchise announced the new name, “Guardians,&#8221; in July 2021, and it was officially used as the 2022 season began. When the current Cleveland major league baseball franchise was established in 1901 as one of the six original teams of the American League, it was called the “Blues.” That name was changed to the “Naps” in 1904 when the fans voted to honor their star player, Hall of Famer Nap Lajoie.
After Lajoie left the team in 1915, the team’s name was changed to the &#8220;Indians.&#8221; However, some have asserted that the name was intended to honor former player Louis Sockalexis, a Native American. Major League Baseball has a different explanation, writing on <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/cleveland-guardians-team-name-history">MLB.com</a>:
<blockquote>
There are old newspaper records that show that the baseball writers were left to vote on a name and had decided on Indians. In 1914, the Boston Braves had won the World Series, which could leave some to wonder if the name for Cleveland &#8212; the last-place team that season &#8212; was inspired by one that experienced great success. 
</blockquote>
The Indians won two World Series titles; the first in 1920, defeating the Brooklyn Dodgers in a series that featured three historic highlights in the last game, all from the Indians: right fielder Elmer Smith blasting the first-ever World Series grand slam; starting pitcher Jim Bagby slamming a three-run homer, the first home run by a pitcher in World Series history, and the most dazzling: an unassisted triple play by Indians second baseman Bill Wambsganss, the only one in World Series history. There have been only 15 unassisted plays in MLB history, rarer than a perfect game thrown by a pitcher.
In 1948, the Indians defeated the Boston Braves in the World Series, led by player-manager shortstop Lou Boudreau, who also won the Most Valuable Player award that year.

The tech company Astronomer announced on Friday that they were launching an investigation into the situation with their CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot after the two were spotted canoodling at a Coldplay concert.
“Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the company said in a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/astronomer_astronomer-is-committed-to-the-values-and-activity-7352044359338373121-Fwe5">statement</a> posted to LinkedIn.
“The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”
The statement also addressed rumors that another HR department employee was the woman captured on video standing beside the couple smiling widely.
“Alyssa Stoddard was not at the event and no other employees were in the video,” the LinkedIn statement added. “Andy Byron has not put out any statement, reports saying otherwise are all incorrect.”
Comments for the post were disabled.
The update comes days after a video of the two company execs went massively viral online, racking up more than 55 million views on the original TikTok and being shared across all social media platforms.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/coldplay-fan-who-posted-video-of-ceo-embracing-his-chief-people-officer-speaks-out">short video</a> shows Byron, who is married, and Cabot embracing one another at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, when the kiss cam landed on them. The couple reacted immediately, with Byron letting go of Cabot and stepping out of frame. Cabot had a similar reaction as she immediately hid her face and turned away from the camera.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin called out their reaction. “Oh look at these two,” the singer can be heard saying. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
The popularity of the video spurred many fake reactions, including a faux statement attributed to Byron and images of a fake social media post attributed to Coldplay saying, “Starting with our next show, we’re introducing camera-free audience sections for people and their sidepieces.”
Byron has served as CEO of Astronomer since 2023, and Cabot was hired nine months ago.
Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, removed her last name from her Facebook account before deactivating it entirely. Byron was on LinkedIn, but appears to have removed his profile as of Friday. They reportedly have two children.
Ry Walker, Astronomer’s former CEO, addressed the situation with an X post.
“For those asking—I’m no longer involved in @astronomerio—yes I was co-founder and early CEO—not on the team or board since 2022, and have no information on ColdplayGate.”

Zohran Mamdani, the self-described Democratic socialist running for New York City mayor, quietly agreed to &#8220;discourage&#8221; people from using the phrase “globalize the intifada,” widely seen as a call to violence against Jews, in a private meeting with influential New York City business leaders on Tuesday.
The Democratic nominee made the commitment to about 150 business executives, including real estate moguls, high-powered lawyers, and several billionaires who peppered him with questions about his controversial far-Left positions, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/mamdani-clarifies-globalize-the-intifada-stance-in-meeting-with-business-elites-4bd47420?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAgX4ABmiIcIjftEYKcohHAEYs6uVzf2hKevhDcRa8zncSVJbntLB8J25MBXhQ%3D%3D&amp;gaa_ts=6877c61b&amp;gaa_sig=7KP0e1mKuxJe_aLHmQ29ED9M2JgWFvwpatub0pdUDm4a1TDvHqAPlcgHUFaN-SaayqnUkNgb7JNfkCUO_devsQ%3D%3D">according</a> to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/business/mamdani-globalize-intafada-business-leaders.html">multiple</a> reports.
At the private event, Mamdani was reportedly confronted on his refusal to condemn the phrase by Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, who is the son of Holocaust survivors. He said he doesn&#8217;t use the phrase and told the group that many people use it to express support for Palestinian human rights.
The 33-year-old has not made any public remarks discouraging the phrase or condemning the terrorism of Hamas.
Last month, Mamdani was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dems-slam-zohran-mamdani-for-refusing-to-condemn-globalize-the-intifada?author=Mairead+Elordi&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=12&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Dems+Slam+Zohran+Mamdani+For+Refusing+To+Condemn+‘Globalize+The+Intifada’">pressed</a> three times to condemn “globalize the intifada” during an appearance on NBC, and each time he refused to do so but said, “it’s not language that I use.”
“But do you actually condemn it?” NBC’s Kristen Welker pressed, noting that many people hear it as a “call to violence against Jews.”
“I don’t believe that the role of the mayor is to police speech,” Mamdani said.
Tuesday&#8217;s private business event was held in Rockefeller Center and hosted by the Partnership for New York City, an influential group representing banks, law firms, and corporations.
Many of the business leaders did not leave the event more comfortable with Mamdani&#8217;s ideas, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/mamdani-clarifies-globalize-the-intifada-stance-in-meeting-with-business-elites-4bd47420?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=ASWzDAgX4ABmiIcIjftEYKcohHAEYs6uVzf2hKevhDcRa8zncSVJbntLB8J25MBXhQ%3D%3D&amp;gaa_ts=6877c61b&amp;gaa_sig=7KP0e1mKuxJe_aLHmQ29ED9M2JgWFvwpatub0pdUDm4a1TDvHqAPlcgHUFaN-SaayqnUkNgb7JNfkCUO_devsQ%3D%3D">reported</a>.
Some left even more unhappy.
“Today’s meeting made it clear to me that I need to do everything in my power to make sure Zohran Mamdani does not become mayor of New York City,” Jon Henes, founder and CEO of C Street Advisory Group, a communications consulting firm, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/business/mamdani-globalize-intafada-business-leaders.html">told</a> The New York Times.
“His complete lack of executive experience, his naïve understanding of how the world works and his rigidly ideological views, including socialism, would be dangerous for the city’s future,” Henes said.
Mamdani has proposed raising both income and corporate taxes, and spending taxpayer dollars on a multitude of services, including government-run grocery stores, free buses, free childcare, and a rent freeze for more than two million New Yorkers living in rent-stabilized apartments.
As he heads into the general election, Mamdani is working to win support from the city&#8217;s business leaders despite their concerns. Meanwhile, his opponents see this as an opportunity to draw influential supporters away from the Democratic nominee.
The New York state assemblyman representing parts of Queens won the Democratic primary last month in an upset that threw the New York City mayor’s race into chaos.
Current Mayor Eric Adams and former Governor Andrew Cuomo are both running as independents, and both have been actively seeking support from the same business leaders.
The general election for mayor will be held on November 4, and Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, will face them all as the Republican candidate.

President Donald Trump is slated to meet with tech and energy executives in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, shortly after Google announced a major investment in American energy.
Executives from Google&#8217;s parent company Alphabet, along with officials from Meta, Microsoft, Exxon Mobil, and other companies, will gather at the Energy and Innovation Summit at Carnegie Mellon University, where Trump is expected to join them for discussions on making the United States the world leader in artificial intelligence, Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/trump-joins-tech-energy-executives-amid-ai-push-2025-07-15/">reported</a>. Trump is also expected to announce $90 billion worth of AI and energy investments in Pennsylvania in what Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) is calling &#8220;the next industrial revolution.&#8221;
&#8220;We are really creating something unique here in Pennsylvania today,&#8221; McCormick told CNBC. &#8220;There&#8217;s never been a gathering of the CEOs of energy investing and artificial intelligence coming together to talk about how we win the energy revolution and also [how] we win the AI revolution.&#8221;
&#8220;Today, we&#8217;ve got about 60 CEOs of the biggest companies in the world, we&#8217;ve got commitments of more than $90 billion of investment in data centers, in energy production, in transmission, in distribution, and investing in skilled workers,&#8221; he added.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
PA is uniquely positioned to lead— we have abundant energy, an incredible skilled workforce, remarkable technologists and technology, and under President <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realDonaldTrump</a>, we have the right leadership to move forward.
Today, we’re securing over $90 billion of investment in PA. <a href="https://t.co/bWn1bxNEvj">pic.twitter.com/bWn1bxNEvj</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Google announced on Tuesday that it would invest $25 billion in data centers and AI infrastructure in multiple states. The big tech company also announced that it would invest $3 billion in updating two hydropower plants in Pennsylvania to support its growing AI infrastructure, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/15/google-to-invest-25-billion-in-data-centers-ai-infrastructure-in-pjm.html">reported</a>. Asset management firm Blackstone also announced a $25 billion investment in energy infrastructure in Pennsylvania. The investments come as PJM Interconnection, the largest power grid in the United States, is struggling to keep up with the massive demand from new data centers.
As companies and the government seek a solution to the issue, the Trump administration is considering an executive order to help big tech companies more easily connect to power grids and secure land for their massive AI projects, according to Reuters.
Trump&#8217;s meeting with tech and energy executives also comes as the White House is making progress toward its goal of reducing dependence on China for rare earth minerals, another major economic and national security concern for the administration. Apple <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/apple-agrees-to-500m-deal-to-buy-rare-earths-from-american-company-reduce-china-dependence">announced</a> on Tuesday that it agreed to a $500 million deal with MP Materials to purchase rare earth magnets used in iPhones and other products from the American company.

United States tech giant Apple announced on Tuesday that it has agreed to purchase $500 million worth of rare earth magnets from American company MP Materials, after the Defense Department became the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/defense-department-becomes-largest-shareholder-of-company-that-owns-americas-lone-rare-earth-mine">largest shareholder</a> last week.
Apple said that it will rely on MP Materials&#8217; Fort Worth, Texas, facility to provide it with rare earth magnets that are used in important components of iPhones, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-cpi-inflation-tariffs-07-15-2025/card/apple-strikes-500-million-deal-to-buy-rare-earths-from-u-s-supplier-wA62cPCKdBo26wFi9h03">reported</a>. Apple also needs rare earth magnets for audio equipment and microphones in other products.
MP Materials <a href="https://mpmaterials.com/news/mp-materials-and-apple-announce-500-million-partnership-to-produce-recycled-rare-earth-magnets-in-the-united-states">said</a> that the deal with Apple means it &#8220;will significantly expand the capacity of its Fort Worth magnetics facility,&#8221; adding that &#8220;Magnet shipments are expected to begin in 2027 and ramp up to support hundreds of millions of Apple devices.&#8221;
“We are proud to partner with Apple to launch MP’s recycling platform and scale up our magnetics business,” said James Litinsky, Founder, Chairman and CEO of MP Materials. “This collaboration deepens our vertical integration, strengthens supply chain resilience, and reinforces America’s industrial capacity at a pivotal moment.”
MP Materials&#8217; <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=mp+materials+stock&amp;rlz=1C5GCCM_en&amp;oq=mp+materials+stock&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqFAgAEEUYOxhGGIMBGPoBGLEDGIAEMhQIABBFGDsYRhiDARj6ARixAxiABDIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIHCAkQABiABNIBCDM1MTFqMGo3qAIAsAIA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8">stock</a> reached an all-time high on Tuesday following the deal with Apple, jumping 28% and surpassing $62 per share as of Tuesday morning. Apple stock was also up <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=apple+stock&amp;sca_esv=4aa233782b511ba8&amp;rlz=1C5GCCM_en&amp;ei=MWp2aOKTIIqY5OMPn6WImAc&amp;ved=0ahUKEwii8Ijvjb-OAxUKDHkGHZ8SAnMQ4dUDCBE&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=apple+stock&amp;gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiC2FwcGxlIHN0b2NrMhUQABiABBixAxhDGIMBGIoFGEYY-gEyEBAAGIAEGLEDGEMYgwEYigUyCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBMgoQABiABBhDGIoFMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMiEQABiABBixAxhDGIMBGIoFGEYY-gEYlwUYjAUY3QTYAQFI_ewBUIsEWOcVcAV4AZABAJgBjQGgAe8IqgEDOS4zuAEDyAEA-AEBmAIRoAKlCcICChAAGLADGNYEGEfCAg0QABiABBiwAxhDGIoFwgIQEC4YgAQY0QMYQxjHARiKBcICDhAuGIAEGLEDGNEDGMcBwgIIEAAYgAQYsQPCAhMQLhiABBixAxjRAxhDGMcBGIoFwgILEC4YgAQYsQMY5QTCAg4QLhiABBiSAxjHARivAcICCBAAGIAEGMkDwgIOEC4YgAQYxwEYjgUYrwHCAgcQABiABBgKwgIGEAAYFhgewgILEAAYgAQYhgMYigWYAwCIBgGQBgq6BgYIARABGBOSBwQxNC4zoAeCfbIHAzkuM7gHlAnCBwYwLjEyLjXIBy4&amp;sclient=gws-wiz-serp">0.5%</a> at the time this article was published.
The agreement between Apple and MP Materials marks yet another positive economic and national security development for President Donald Trump as the White House pushes to break free from reliance on China for rare earth minerals. China currently produces around 60% of the world’s rare earths and refines nearly 90%, <a href="https://www.csis.org/analysis/what-chinas-ban-rare-earths-processing-technology-exports-means">according</a> to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
For decades, MP Materials has operated the only rare earth mine in the United States, which is located in Mountain Pass, California, 60 miles southwest of Las Vegas. Last week, the Trump administration <a href="https://cowboystatedaily.com/2025/07/11/first-u-s-rare-earth-mine-in-70-years-opens-in-wyoming/">announced</a> the grand opening of the country&#8217;s second rare earth mine in Wyoming, where workers at the Brook Mine, owned by Ramaco Resources, Inc., will extract rare earth materials directly from coal.
Shortly after starting his second term, President Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-takes-immediate-action-to-increase-american-mineral-production/">said</a> that he wants to make the United States “the leading producer and processor of non-fuel minerals, including rare earth minerals.”
After the Pentagon agreed to buy $400 million of preferred stock in MP Materials, the company said it would soon begin construction on a “second domestic magnet manufacturing facility (the ’10X Facility’) at a soon-to-be-chosen location to serve both defense and commercial customers.”

A new high-speed train proposal hopes to link Los Angeles and New York City in time for the FIFA World Cup and celebrations for the United States&#8217; 250th birthday next year.
AmeriStarRail, based in Delaware, proposed the plan to Amtrak, as well as to President Donald Trump, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, and Congress, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/high-speed-rail-new-york-los-angeles-2093565">according</a> to Newsweek.
The train, called the &#8220;Transcontinental Chief,&#8221; would be funded entirely by private investors, not taxpayers, and would transport both passengers and commercial trucks.
&#8220;The Transcontinental Chief will be a great opportunity for Amtrak to team up with the private sector to confront the challenges of its money-losing long-distance trains and create opportunities to usher in a profitable Golden Age of rail travel for passengers and truckers, with the ingenuity of free enterprise, as we celebrate our great nation&#8217;s 250th birthday next year,&#8221; AmeriStarRail Chief Operating Officer Scott Spencer said in a letter to Amtrak.
The train would rely on existing infrastructure from host railroads and include stops at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Chicago, and the Grand Canyon. Amtrak has not yet responded to the proposal, Newsweek reported.
The plan contrasts with another high-speed train project in California, which risks losing its federal funding after failing to make progress for more than a decade, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-ready-to-pull-the-plug-on-california-high-speed-rail-boondoggle">reported</a>.
Despite receiving about $4 billion for the 800-mile project since 2010, the state has &#8220;not laid a single high-speed track,&#8221; <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/trumps-transportation-secretary-sean-p-duffy-releases-report-exposing-no-viable-path">according</a> to the Trump administration.
When voters approved the project in 2008, the estimated cost was $33 billion. Now, the projected cost has swelled to $128 billion, leaving California about $100 billion short, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-03-21/high-speed-rail">according</a> to the Los Angeles Times.
The state is currently trying to build the first segment of the project, a 119-mile track connecting Merced to Bakersfield. The estimated completion date is 2033, but the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) says the state doesn&#8217;t have &#8220;a viable path&#8221; to finishing the first phase by the deadline.
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who promoted the train when he was mayor of San Francisco, said in May that workers have begun the first phase of the project, &#8220;laying the tracks to get to where they start to lay the tracks.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s a technical way of actually doing the development in phases, so real tracks are being laid, and the formal track that will be the first-in-the-nation high-speed rail track is about to take place,&#8221; Newsom said.
A California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) spokesperson told The Daily Wire in June that the agency remains &#8220;firmly committed&#8221; to the project.
In its response to the FRA, the CHSRA disputed the findings and requested that the agency withdraw the proposed termination of federal funds.
&#8220;The Authority’s work has already reshaped the Central Valley,&#8221; the CHSRA&#8217;s response said. &#8220;We have built many of the viaducts, overpasses, and underpasses on which the first 119 miles of high-speed rail track will run.&#8221;

Part of my job as a corporate engagement strategist is to read what’s on corporate ballots at American public companies. Reading these agendas reveals a stunning amount of blatantly anti-business proposals from corporate activist groups, from pushing Lockheed Martin to divest from Israel to pressuring Starbucks to make oat milk free to fight racism (yes, that’s real). But the other day, I came across perhaps one of the worst examples of corporate activism that’s not only anti-business, but arguably directly at odds with values of the organization pushing the proposal. The proposal? Supporting employee access to abortion. The proponent? The largest Presbyterian denomination in America.
The Presbyterian Church U.S.A. (PCUSA) is one of the biggest Presbyterian denominations in America, with more than a million members in its ranks despite <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/pcusa-may-drop-below-1-million-member-mark-by-end-of-2025-report.html">losing</a> almost 50,000 members in 2024 alone. Earlier this year, the denomination shuttered its missionary program after almost two centuries, citing declining giving and church membership. But, while the international mission field may be a lost cause for PCUSA, financial struggles haven’t stopped them from pursuing other goals like making sure American employees can kill their unborn children. The PCUSA recently sponsored a <a href="https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001646972/7d526ba6-e36b-41a6-bd6a-9c4833529da6.pdf">shareholder proposal</a> for supermarket chain Albertsons, urging the company to report on the effects of state-level restrictions on abortion in the wake of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade. Even though the proposal came from an organization representing thousands of Christians, it’s a masterclass in pro-abortion virtue signaling. “[Employees] who cannot access abortion when needed are three times more likely to leave the workforce, and four times as likely to slip into poverty.” Conveniently, the stats on unborn children go unmentioned.
PCUSA’s demands are clear: “support abortion, or you’re not acting in the best interests of your shareholders or employees. By the way, we’re a church.” PCUSA’s slide into backwards orthodoxy, rejecting virtually every tenet of the historic Christian faith, is <a href="https://www.hrc.org/resources/stances-of-faiths-on-lgbt-issues-presbyterian-church-usa">well-documented</a>. But from a business perspective, there is an important question to ask: Is supporting abortion access a fiduciary responsibility of publicly traded companies? In my view, no. And there are at least two reasons. 
First, opining on divisive issues from abortion to ‘gender-affirming care’ is rapidly becoming the reddest of flags to both American consumers and businesses seeking to maintain their bottom line. All one needs to do is look at Target, Bud Light, &amp; Disney to see how politicized business becomes bad business. 
Second (and it’s a wonder we don’t talk about this more), companies that support abortion are literally supporting the killing of future customers. As my firm Bowyer Research wrote in a <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1996368/000109690625001103/bowy_px14a6g.htm">recent SEC filing</a>, urging shareholders to vote against the PCUSA’s proposal, “For a company like Albertsons, whose long-term success depends on serving growing families and communities, policies that suppress birth rates may ultimately shrink its future customer base.”
That takes us to another common pro-abortion talking point in corporate America: that businesses operating in pro-life states are going to see <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/no-people-are-not-fleeing-states-with-strong-pro-life-laws/">worker shortages</a>. That’s by no means a definitive statement. Albertsons is headquartered in Boise, Idaho. Through a pro-abortion lens, companies in red states should be deeply concerned about the exodus of workers leaving for pro-abortion states. The reality? Idaho’s one of the <a href="https://boisedev.com/news/2025/01/27/idaho-2-million/">fastest-growing states</a> in America, with many of those new residents coming from pro-abortion states such as California, Oregon, and Washington. It’s almost as if population growth is more complicated than merely looking at a state’s abortion stance — if anything, pro-life Idaho seems to be winning the population growth war. It’s another reason that it simply makes no sense for a company like Albertsons to support abortion to appease corporate activists — especially when those activists come from the church.
This isn’t Christian corporate engagement, no matter what the Denethor-esque stewards of the PCUSA may tell you. But it is instructive as to how Christian organizations drift Left. While the PCUSA may be an infamously liberal denomination, that doesn’t mean that abortion advocacy is what many of its tithing church members, many of whom are conservative, and pensioned clergy want. You may be the most conservative PCUSA <a href="https://x.com/IsaacWillour/status/1940207329770897890">churchgoer</a> alive but they can still use your tithes to lobby for abortion.
This should be a wakeup call for all Christians on just how bad things are getting in mainline denominations. If you’re part of a church or Christian ministry, it’s time to get answers about who’s stewarding your finances and <a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/06/13/the-results-of-christian-mutual-proxy-voting-analysis-leave-significant-room-for-improvement/">what they’re doing</a> — how are “you” voting on these sorts of proposals? Christian organizations have fallen asleep at the wheel when it comes to their finances reflecting their faith.
What can be done to remedy this particular situation? A good place to start is making sure that your church is never in the arena advocating for the killing of unborn children. And right now, the PCUSA’s doing just that.

The Pentagon agreed to purchase $400 million of preferred stock in MP Materials, which operates the only rare earth minerals mine in the United States, the company announced on Thursday.
The mine, located in Mountain Pass, California — 60 miles southwest of Las Vegas — extracts rare earth minerals that are vital for the U.S. military, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/10/pentagon-to-become-largest-shareholder-in-rare-earth-magnet-maker-mp-materials.html">reported</a>. The Defense Department&#8217;s move is part of the Trump administration&#8217;s plan to break its dependence on China for rare earths, a goal that Interior Secretary Doug Burgum <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL1kagSsIk8">discussed</a> in April.
“This initiative marks a decisive action by the Trump administration to accelerate American supply chain independence,” <a href="https://investors.mpmaterials.com/investor-news/news-details/2025/MP-Materials-Announces-Transformational-Public-Private-Partnership-with-the-Department-of-Defense-to-Accelerate-U-S--Rare-Earth-Magnet-Independence/default.aspx">said</a> James Litinsky, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of MP Materials. “We are proud to enter into this transformational public-private partnership and are deeply grateful to President Trump, our partners at the Pentagon, and our employees, customers and stakeholders for their unwavering support and dedication.”
Rare earths are used to produce magnets that are incorporated into critical U.S. military weapons systems, including those for drones, submarines, and the F-35 fighter jet, CNBC reported. Shortly after taking office, Trump <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-takes-immediate-action-to-increase-american-mineral-production/">signed</a> an executive order to ramp up American rare earth mining, bemoaning the fact that 70% of the United States&#8217; imports of rare earths come from China. Trump stated that he wants to make the United States “the leading producer and processor of non-fuel minerals, including rare earth minerals.”
China currently produces around 60% of the world&#8217;s rare earths and refines nearly 90%, <a href="https://www.csis.org/analysis/what-chinas-ban-rare-earths-processing-technology-exports-means">according</a> to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Rare earth minerals are also used to manufacture electronics, including smartphones and laptops, as well as electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies. After Trump levied tariffs on China, the communist country halted shipments of rare earth minerals to the United States. The administration <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china/trump-says-deal-related-trade-was-signed-with-china-wednesday-2025-06-26/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> late last month that it had reached an agreement with China to restart rare earth imports.
MP Materials&#8217; agreement with the Pentagon will result in the construction of the company&#8217;s &#8220;second domestic magnet manufacturing facility (the &#8217;10X Facility&#8217;) at a soon-to-be-chosen location to serve both defense and commercial customers.&#8221; The &#8220;10X Facility&#8221; is expected to be completed in 2028, which will boost MP Materials&#8217; manufacturing capacity to 10,000 metric tons, according to the company. The Pentagon&#8217;s agreement with MP Materials is for 10 years and establishes &#8220;a price floor commitment&#8221; to ensure that the company is protected from &#8220;non-market forces.&#8221;
Shares of MP Materials <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=mp+materials+stock&amp;rlz=1C5GCCM_en&amp;oq=mp+materials+stock&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqDQgAEAAYgwEYsQMYgAQyDQgAEAAYgwEYsQMYgAQyDQgBEAAYgwEYsQMYgAQyBwgCEAAYgAQyBwgDEAAYgAQyBwgEEAAYgAQyBwgFEAAYgAQyBwgGEAAYgAQyBwgHEAAYgAQyBwgIEAAYgAQyBwgJEAAYgATSAQgyOTIxajBqN6gCALACAA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8">jumped</a> nearly 50% on Thursday, hitting $44 as of Thursday morning. The company&#8217;s all-time high was $56.54, reached on April 1, 2022.
News of the agreement comes shortly after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tom-cotton-introduces-bill-to-break-chinas-monopoly-on-rare-earth-minerals-for-u-s-defense">introduced</a> a bill to expedite the extraction of rare earth elements in the United States, aiming to better protect America&#8217;s national security.
“Current environmental laws put our readiness to counter Communist China at risk and waste taxpayer dollars on projects that stall out and die on the vine,” Cotton <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-republican-moves-give-u-s-edge-china-harvesting-minerals-weapons-systems">told</a> Fox News Digital. “This bill will create jobs, better arm and prepare our soldiers, and spend taxpayer dollars more efficiently.”
