Introducing McDonald's newest menu item: the Daily Double cheeseburger
McDonald's has a new double burger coming to its menu: the Daily Double.
The Daily Double, available now nationwide, is made with two beef patties, a slice of American cheese plus shredded lettuce, slivered onions, mayo and two tomato slices. The burger had been available in limited markets including Chicago, Miami, and Seattle, but will be available nationally through 2025, the company said.
Next month, on July 22, the Daily Double will join McDonald's McValue Meal Deal options, served with a 4-piece order of Chicken McNuggets, small fries and small soft drink ($6 or $7; pricing depends on your restaurant). That menu still includes the $5 Meal Deal.
The burger is now appearing in the McDonald's app, where you can also get deals including a free medium order of fries with a $1 purchase in the app every Friday through the end of 2025.

Toyota, VW, And GM Slam The Feds Over Outdated Safety Rules
The National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) is a federal agency tasked with maintaining and enforcing vehicle safety standards in the United States. This is a critical function to ensure the safest possible levels of transportation for commuters, so when a group of the industry's largest automakers accuses the NHTSA of outdated regulations that are a barrier to progress, it's worrying. This is exactly what's been communicated by a major trade group representing brands like Toyota, Volkswagen, GM, and Hyundai. A statement from Alliance for Automotive, a trade group representing these major automakers, is a scathing assessment of the NHTSA. "Its fractured relationship with the industry, decades-old safety regulations, and lack of a clear strategic roadmap for emerging technologies are stifling innovation and threatening U.S. global leadership," said the trade group about the NHTSA, as per Reuters. John Bozella, CEO of Innovation, listed dozens of NHTSA regulations that should be updated, repealed, or revised. He specifically pointed to the NHTSA's stance on automatic emergency braking and the red tape around autonomous vehicles. "Unfortunately, federal inaction is holding us back. Despite years of dialogue, there is still no comprehensive federal framework for AVs," Bozzella said, also calling for NHTSA to ease fuel economy requirements starting in 2027, saying they are "misaligned with consumer demand and current technology adoption rates." Almost 40,000 people died on American roads in 2024, which remains much higher than pre-COVID levels. Therefore, anything getting in the way of road safety standards is an issue. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is an industry-funded group that also encourages the building of safer cars. Its tests are considered by many to be more comprehensive than those of the NHTSA, as cars are assessed in more crash scenarios and crash-avoidance technologies are also given a score. "NHTSA is failing to meet the moment. In recent years, it has approached its job with a lack of urgency, using flawed methodologies that underestimate the safety benefits of obviously beneficial interventions," said IIHS President David Harkey, adding that the NHTSA "requires stronger leadership, a sense of urgency, and a greater willingness to act." Related: IIHS and senators urge NHTSA to take action on automated driver assists As an example of the NHTSA's slow rate of modernization, the IIHS has called for motorcycles to require anti-lock brakes since 2013 as crash rates are 22% lower for such motorcycles. Despite this, it's still not a requirement that has been enforced by the NHTSA. A few years back, the latest headlight technology also hadn't been approved for use in the United States, due to outdated local regulations. Considering the rapid advances being made in safety technologies each year, a significant overhaul of the NHTSA's procedures is surely due soon. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.

Fact-Check: Is Donald Trump Legalizing Driving Without a License?
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Several videos have gone viral on TikTok making false claims that President Donald Trump plans to abolish driver's license requirements starting in 2026. The videos have widely circulated on the platform over the past week though there is no evidence that the Trump administration has proposed and such laws or orders. Newsweek contacted the Department of Transportation on Thursday afternoon to ask about the videos. The Claim This month, numerous social media users on TikTok have suggested that beginning in January 2026, people will not need a driver's license to operate a motor vehicle. The videos, which have been viewed and shared thousands of times, feature creators either promoting the claim directly or reacting to it with disbelief and concern. One video, which has been shared over 200,000 times, was posted by user @melaashara. She said: "So, by January of 2026, you do not need a driver's license to drive anymore. You literally can get in the car and go." That video, which provides no evidence to back up the claim, has been liked over half a million times as of June 26. A second video by creator @dlb_teeford and has been liked over 100,000 times features the creator saying, "I just heard, starting 2026, you don't need a license no more to drive? So you telling me, I took that long-a** class to get a license just for time the time to pass, three years later, I ... don't even need a license!" The Facts Newsweek reporters could not find evidence to support the claim that the Trump administration has made any moves to make licenses not needed to operate a motor vehicle. The licensing of drivers is governed by state laws, not the federal government, according to Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration regulations. Even if a president supported ending certain requirements, a change would require significant state-level legislative action or a modification of existing transportation regulations at the federal level. No change is being implemented in 2026 regarding personal driver's license requirements. Each state is expected to enforce its own licensing laws. Trump formally rolled out new driving protocols on April 28 per a White House fact sheet, after he signed an executive order. But, rather than easing licensing requirements, the order increases enforcement for commercial drivers in the United States and mandates that commercial vehicle operators are "properly qualified and proficient in English." Further, the regulation "instructs the Secretary of Transportation to review state issuance of non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses to identify any irregularities and ensure American drivers are validly licensed and qualified." The Ruling False. The Trump administration's policy actions in April 2025 targeted commercial driver qualifications, not eliminating licensing altogether. No legitimate government website has documented an executive order or policy directive from Trump concerning the elimination of driver's licenses next year. FACT CHECK BY Newsweek
