Motorcar Parts of America, Casey's General Stores And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Monday

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) has announced that the state will file a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the deployment of the National Guard to quell protests in Los Angeles.
What Happened:&nbsp;Newsom revealed the lawsuit during an interview with MSNBC on Sunday. The legal action is aimed at challenging the federalization&nbsp;of the California National Guard&nbsp;by the Trump administration without the state&#8217;s consent, a move that Newsom deems unprecedented in U.S. history,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/gov-newsom-tells-president-trump-to-stand-down-amid-l-a-protests-241152581707">reported</a>&nbsp;MSNBC.
"And we're going to test that theory with a lawsuit tomorrow," Newsom stated. &#8220;They never coordinated with the governor of the state,"&nbsp;he added.
Newsom also responded to remarks by border czar Tom Homan, who implied he might arrest Newsom or Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass if they obstructed his actions. In reply, Newsom challenged him, saying, "Arrest me. Let's go."
Newsom also criticized Trump&#8217;s Truth Social post, where he praised the National Guard for a &#8220;great job&#8221; even though they weren&#8217;t deployed at the time.&nbsp;He described the post as &#8220;Orwellian, simply lying to people,&nbsp;unconstitutional, illegal act, his mess.&nbsp;We're trying to clean it&nbsp;up.&#8221;

The deployment, which included around 300 National Guard members, was part of Trump's broader effort to crack down on immigration protests.
Meanwhile, the protests in Los Angeles turned violent, with protesters <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45830565/multiple-waymo-vehicles-set-on-fire-during-los-angeles-anti-ice-protests-elon-musk-says-this-is-not-ok">reportedly </a>vandalizing over five of Alphabet&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Waymo robotaxis during clashes with the police. 
The protests were against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration into the U.S., with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carrying out high-profile raids and reportedly detaining several undocumented individuals.

Casey's Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is expected to highlight its artificial intelligence strategy at WWDC 2025, but according to top analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45787471/apples-wwdc-2025-when-how-to-watch-the-keynote-and-what-to-expect">no breakthroughs</a> are anticipated, although the company can still meet market expectations.
What Happened: On Monday, Kuo, an analyst at TF Securities, took to X, formerly Twitter and shared three key points to watch out for at Apple WWDC 2025.
He explained Apple's focus at WWDC 2025 will be on AI advancements, while other updates like UI changes and OS improvements will take a secondary role.
Kuo stated that Apple is not expected to unveil any major breakthroughs in AI technology during the event.

However, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45788605/apple-has-at-least-two-years-before-losing-customers-despite-its-several-ai-missteps-says-gene-munst">low market expectations</a>, Apple could still meet them by clearly explaining how AI will work across its devices and offering a roadmap for its future development.
&#8220;No major breakthroughs in Apple&#8217;s AI technology are expected,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;Still, with the market&#8217;s limited expectations, Apple can meet them by clearly explaining how AI features will work on devices and outlining a development timeline.&#8221;
Kuo also pointed out that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39228141/apple-intelligence-what-to-expect-from-tim-cooks-wwdc-plans-for-bringing-ai-to-iphone-ipad-and-mac">Apple's AI announcements in the past year</a> were optimistic but were met with a lack of significant AI rollouts.
He said that while Apple's hardware and chip development can support AI services, the company has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45830549/pierre-ferragu-takes-apple-to-task-for-dismissing-the-ai-revolution-has-its-head-in-the-sand">yet to differentiate itself in the AI space</a>, and there is no guarantee of a competitive advantage just because of its hardware.

WWDC 2025 Not Expected To Have Any Major AI Breakthroughs, But Apple Analyst Says Watch Out For These 3 Key Points

Reported Sunday, Bentonville Renews Partnership With GovDeals, A Liquidity Services Marketplace, To Boost Surplus Property Sales Through Online Auctions

Michael Shaulov, CEO of digital asset infrastructure provider Fireblocks, asserted that cryptocurrency has crossed the &#8220;point of no return,&#8221; with increasing acceptance and impending regulation advancing its legitimacy.
What Happened:&nbsp;In an exclusive chat with Benzinga at the recently held Consensus 2025 event, Shaulov was optimistic of the cryptocurrency sector&#8217;s future, with more individuals and institutions jumping on the bandwagon.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s pretty clear that it&#8217;s beyond the point of no return,&#8221; Shaulov stated. &#8220;The train left the station. I think more and more people are jumping on the train&#8221;

He further said that the incoming regulation in the U.S., in whatever shape it takes, would only strengthen the reality of cryptocurrencies, offering ten times the properties, performance, speed and cost reduction compared to traditional financial systems.

Shaulov also shared findings from a recent survey that Fireblocks conducted across&nbsp;banks and payment&nbsp;companies. 
&#8220;There&#8217;s no skeptism anymore. 90% of them are either already working with stable coins or in pilots of stable coins or contemplating how they&#8217;re going to enter the space,&#8221; Shaulov revealed.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Shaulov has been a long-standing cryptocurrency advocate. He previously referred to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) as an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/10/35142263/exclusive-fireblocks-ceo-calls-bitcoin-an-insurance-policy-against-government-collapse">&#8220;insurance instrument&#8221;</a> against potential government system collapses.
His optimistic outlook on the sector, particularly on stablecoins, comes amid the advancement of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45510057/senate-crypto-bill-passes-key-vote-genius-act-moves-toward-final-passage" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">GENIUS Act</a>, a proposed legislation aiming to establish the first U.S. regulatory framework for issuers of stablecoins like Tether (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDT</a>) and USD Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>).

Crypto At 'Point Of No Return,' Says Fireblocks CEO And Here's Why He Is Confident About It

Despite the years of escalating trade, technology, and geopolitical tensions, historian and economist Niall Ferguson says that the United States and China remain entangled.
What Happened: Appearing on Bloomberg&#8217;s Wall Street Week on Saturday, alongside former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, Ferguson used a term that he says he hasn&#8217;t used in a while, &#8220;Chimerica,&#8221; referring to the symbiotic relationship between the U.S. and China.
Ferguson, however, highlights the deeply asymmetrical nature of this relationship, which he had referred to as being &#8220;unsustainable&#8221; all the way back in 2007.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45830286/ron-desantis-takes-a-dig-at-california-says-state-officials-living-in-a-leftist-information-bubble-amid-unrest-spring-break-crackdown-a-model-response-says-florida-governor">Ron Desantis Takes A Dig At California, Says State Officials Living In A &#8216;Leftist Information Bubble&#8217; Amid Unrest — Spring Break Crackdown A Model Response, Says Florida Governor</a>
&#8220;The U.S. does the importing, China does the exporting, the U.S. does the consuming, and China does the saving,&#8221; he says, referring to the argument he had made several decades ago, stating that &#8220;Chimerica&#8221; would eventually turn into Chimaera, a mythical fire-breathing monster that causes destruction.
&#8220;The interesting thing&#8221; about this, Ferguson notes, is that despite the increasing hostility between the two nations, the economic relationship between the two countries has been &#8220;extraordinarily persistent,&#8221; with the U.S. still importing enormous amounts from China.
&#8220;Somehow Chimerica and Cold War II seem capable of coexisting,&#8221; he says, at which point Summers weighs in to say that he likes to call this phenomenon &#8220;hostile codependence.&#8221;
Ferguson&#8217;s comments underscore a key challenge facing the Trump Administration, that even in the event of deglobalization, it&#8217;s hard to vie for a clean break. 
Why It Matters: The idea that the U.S. and China are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45808431/xi-has-bowed-to-reality-says-china-analyst-urges-more-engagement-between-leaders-to-resolve-trade-issues-no-substitute-for-direct-negotiations-with-trump">economically bound</a> to each other is gaining traction fast, with leading China analysts such as Jeremy Chan saying last week that &#8220;Xi has bowed to reality,&#8221; and is thus looking for direct negotiations with President Donald Trump.

Wedbush Securities' managing director Dan Ives has reiterated his bullish views on Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) despite tense relations between U.S. President Donald Trump and CEO Elon Musk.
What Happened: "Trump/Musk going from BFFs to frenemies does not change our bullish view of the autonomous path looking forward," Ives said in a post on social media platform X on Sunday.
The Tesla bull then shared how he still expects President Trump to introduce a federal regulatory framework for autonomous driving in the country, something that CEO Musk has pushed for in the past.

Why It Matters: Ives' views come in following Musk's outburst on the social media platform X, where he had criticized the president over his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45635854/elon-musk-disappointed-with-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-says-it-undermines-the-work-that-the-doge-team-is-doing">Big Beautiful Bill</a>, which subsequently led to Tesla <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/movers-shakers/25/06/45807280/elon-musk-bleeds-34-billion-as-tesla-shares-tank-14-amid-spat-with-trump-how-the-billionaires-fortune-has-fared-so-far-in-2025">losing over $153 billion</a> in market capitalization.

"It's going very well, never done better," he said, hinting at a possible reconciliation between the two.
Elsewhere, Tesla will launch its robotaxi service in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45662671/tesla-targets-june-12-for-robotaxi-launch-in-austin-elon-musk-says-company-ramped-up-fsd-testing-a-month-ahead-of-schedule">Austin on June 12</a>, with the company already having tested unsupervised FSD in the city ahead of schedule, according to Musk.
