President Donald Trump's often conflicting or inconsistent statements regarding the U.S. war in Iran have not only left American critics confused, but foreign officials as well, including those of a key U.S. ally, who behind the scenes have been left baffled by the president's remarks. "A senior Israeli official admitted that it is impossible to gain a full read on Trump's intentions, saying, If we put Trump's statements into ChatGPT, it will implode,'" a report from The Times of Israel published Monday reads, citing an unnamed senior Israeli official.
The Trump administration on Monday launched a new system to begin refunding $166 billion in tariffs to U.S. importers after the Supreme Court ruled the levies unlawful earlier this year. The system, known as CAPE, will allow U.S. Customs and Border Protection to issue consolidated electronic payments to importers, streamlining what would otherwise be a complex, entry-by-entry refund process. "It's essentially a fast track for processing refunds," said Reed Smith partner Michael Lowell, adding that importers will need to file claims, but the process should be straightforward. "Customs is estimating that refunds will be processed within 60 to 90 days after submission," he added. "If importers file as soon as the system opens, refunds could begin flowing by mid-June to mid-July." The rollout marks the first phase of the refund effort, meaning not all importers or tariff categories will be eligible right away.
President Donald Trump is said to be desperate for Joe Rogan not to give up on their faltering bromance after the right-wing podcaster turned on him over Iran. The president's aides are "working aggressively behind the scenes" to repair Trump's relationship with Rogan, who propelled the president back into office but has increasingly emerged as a staunch critic of the second MAGA administration, Axios reports. Those overtures appear to be gaining some traction after the UFC commentator put in an appearance at the Oval Office Saturday, when Trump signed an executive order accelerating a Food and Drug Administration review on the use of psychedelic drugs as treatment for mental illness.

Fox News host Sean Hannity is explaining his decision to leave the Catholic church long before President Donald Trump criticized Pope Leo XIV. "As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic. I am a Christian," Hannity, 64, said on the Thursday, April 16, episode of his primetime show Hannity. "I left the Catholic church in large part due to the institutionalized corruption, and it was at the parish level, to the bishop level, cardinals, all the way to Rome." Without naming specific situations, Hannity criticized the scandals and "terrible behaviors" in the Catholic church that he claimed were "frankly not only unchecked, they never fully corrected it or dealt with it." "Others at the Vatican have totally lost the true meaning of the Bible and its teachings," he added. read more
