Have you seen this car?
Donald Trump's red Tesla was not seen on the White House grounds on Tuesday. Trump bought a red Tesla Model S in March. Trump and Elon Musk have been going through a very public spat. Donald Trump may be erasing one very public sign of Elon Musk's White House tenure. Trump's red Tesla Model S was not in its usual spot on the White House grounds on Tuesday, ABC News's Jonathan Karl wrote on X. Monday afternoon, hours before the car's apparent absence was noticed, Trump said that he might move the vehicle amid his very public spat with Musk, the man who once called himself Trump's "First Buddy." "I may move the Tesla around a little bit, but I don't think we'll be doing that with Starlink," he told reporters. "It's a good service." Trump didn't say where he might move it. "I have a lot of locations," he said. "I had so many locations that I don't know what to do with them all." The president could have had the car moved to one of his properties, including his private golf club near the nation's capital. Trump and his allies have criticized Musk after the world's richest man refused to back down from his call to kill "The One Big Beautiful Bill," the centerpiece of the president's domestic agenda. Musk retorted by alleging that Trump is blocking the release of the so-called "Epstein Files" because of his ties to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Trump bought the Tesla in March at a White House event aimed at bucking up Musk's flagship company as backlash mounted to the billionaire's work with the White House's DOGE office. At the time, a handful of top administration officials made public moves to boost Tesla as its share prices tanked amid protests at dealerships and a rise in trade-ins of its popular EVs. Following last week's high-profile spat, a White House official said Trump was considering selling the car. A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Read the original article on Business Insider

'Rick and Morty' Season 8 streaming: How to watch, episode release schedule and more
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals. The Emmy-winning animated series Rick and Morty is back for its eighth season. The irreverent series about a mad scientist and his grandson's adventures across the universe premiered in May on Adult Swim. New episodes are dropping weekly through July 27. The series, which stars Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell, and Spencer Grammer will also be airing in over 170 countries, so whether you're in the U.S. or abroad, here's everything you need to know about how to watch Rick and Morty Season 8, including where to stream it and how to watch it with the help of a VPN if you don't have cable. Season 8 of Rick and Morty premiered on Sunday, May 25. The series won't land on streaming in the U.S. until after the entire season wraps up — so if you're used to watching Rick and Morty on HBO Max, heads up that you'll have to wait until Sept. 1 to catch Season 8. Rick and Morty airs on Adult Swim. After an entire season is finished airing, it will eventually stream on HBO Max. It is however already available to stream on HBO Max in Australia... There are several ways you can watch Rick and Morty without cable. Adult Swim is available on several platforms, including DirecTV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV. Warner Bros. Discovery has also confirmed that episodes will be available to stream in the U.S. on Max, but not until Sept. 1. While the new season of Rick and Mortys won't be immediately available on Max (you'll have to wait until it arrives on Sept. 1), you can catch the past seven seasons on demand on the platform now. If you don't have cable but still want to stream Season 8 of Rick and Morty as new episodes are released, all it takes is a VPN. By using a VPN, you can access new episodes of Rick and Morty when they air in other countries and stream them on demand after they premiere. Just note that the premiere dates may vary. For example, it's scheduled to debut June 1 in the U.K. on Channel 4's My4, and May 26 on the Australian version of HBO Max (though you'll still need your US HBO subscription to watch it). Just set your VPN location to the U.K. or Australia, respectively. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you're looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to overseas broadcasts, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.

UK, Canada, and other nations sanction two Israeli ministers amid rising Gaza tensions
Several nations announced Tuesday they will impose sanctions on two Israeli cabinet ministers over their comments about Gaza. Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich will be barred from traveling to the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Norway, and face asset freezes. Israel criticized the sanctions as 'outrageous'; the restrictions came a day after US President Donald Trump cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against escalating Israel's long simmering conflict with Iran in order for Washington to secure a nuclear deal. The Israeli leader is under increasing international and domestic pressure to expand aid access to Gaza and return hostages still held by Hamas — and while he has indicated there was some progress in negotiations for the latter, a broader ceasefire remains elusive.
