HBO Max is the home of dragons (House of the Dragon) and stressed-out doctors (The Pitt), but it also has some pretty good rom-coms that are worth checking out. The streamer just added a bunch in July, and Watch With Us is here to tell you which ones you should stream – and which films you should avoid. One of 2026’s most talked-about movies, The Drama, will debut later in the month, and it’s a can’t-miss opportunity to see Zendaya and Robert Pattinson in a dark and oddly funny love story. If you’re craving more traditional rom-com fun, check out…

As European ports and airports struggle to cope with the full rollout of the EU’s new biometric passport checks, the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel have confirmed to The Local that full checks will not be rolled out until the end of the peak summer period. The UK-France border had long been singled out as likely to cause problems with EES due to a combination of high passenger volumes and juxtaposed border control, with the boss of the Port of Dover warning of severe congestion this summer. Despite the April 2026 deadline for the full implementation of EES, UK border…

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Dr. Erica Schwartz, Trump’s latest nominee to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is scheduled to appear before a Senate committee Wednesday morning, to answer questions about her vision and qualifications for the role. The confirmation hearing, with the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee, will be Schwartz’s first public appearance since Trump nominated her for the role in mid-April.

Todd Blanche, President Trump’s former personal lawyer and his pick for attorney general, is appearing for what could be a contentious confirmation hearing Wednesday amid questions about his handling of the Epstein files, the targeting of Trump’s political foes and the broader politicization of justice. Blanche previously won Senate confirmation early in Trump’s second term to serve as the No. 2 official at the Justice Department, but it is unclear whether he can muster enough support this time to be confirmed for the top job. Democrats appear unified in opposition to his nomination. That leaves Blanche’s fate in the hands…

Charlize Theron visited Tamayura, a Japanese restaurant in New York City, and walked away calling it the best meal she’s had in the city. She posted the endorsement on Instagram this week, tagging the restaurant’s account directly. Her caption told the story simply: “You told me to eat… Thank you for the best meal in NYC.” Someone had recommended the place. She went. She came back convinced. For a restaurant, that’s about as good as it gets. Theron is one of the most recognizable names in Hollywood. Her platform is large, and people pay attention. She won the Academy Award…
