Breitbart: Newly-Elected Pope Leo XIV Opposed Gender Theory
Pope Leo XIV, elected leader of the Catholic Church, has a history of opposing gender theory, previously rejecting a government plan to include gender teachings in schools. His stance aligns with Pope Francis, who has labeled gender ideology as an "ugly ideology" that undermines the distinctions between men and women.

Breitbart: Lutnick: 10% Tariff Base Isn't Up for Negotiation
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick emphasized that the U.S.-U.K. trade agreement establishes a 10% base tariff rate that is non-negotiable. He explained that reciprocal tariffs depend on the openness of economies and trade deficits, suggesting that higher tariffs could be reduced through increased U.S. exports.
Lutnick noted that while sectoral tariffs may be negotiable, the 10% baseline is firm. He highlighted the U.K.'s commitment to expanding U.S. service exports and collaborating on steel and aluminum industries as part of a strategic approach to trade.
