The Western Journal: Watch: Trump Slaps Down Fox News Reporter Over Repeated Questions on AI Trump Pope Pic
President Trump dismissed concerns raised by Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich regarding an AI-generated meme of him as the pope, stating it was intended as a joke and not meant to offend. He emphasized that the outrage was more about media reaction than actual Catholic discontent.
Trump criticized the media for focusing on this meme while ignoring more significant issues, suggesting that their attempts to undermine him often miss larger, pressing matters affecting the public.
Fox News: Will other forms of transportation require passengers to have REAL ID after May 7 deadline?
Starting tomorrow, travelers will need a REAL ID-compliant driver's license, passport, or other approved identification to fly. The transition has caused confusion, with many fearing they won't meet the deadline. However, alternative travel options exist.
Driving, bus travel, and Amtrak services remain unaffected by the REAL ID requirement. Passengers without a REAL ID can fill out a TSA Certification of Identity form to board flights, but this may lead to additional security checks. Airlines may also allow re-booking for those without proper ID.

The Federalist: Health Agency Slated To Cut Spending By $3B Grew It By $5B
The Trump administration is highlighting wasteful spending cuts, exposing how taxpayer money has been misused by government agencies. A prime example is the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), which has failed to fulfill its mandate, wasting billions while producing minimal savings.
CMMI's track record shows that out of 49 care models launched, only six yielded significant savings, while overall spending increased by $5.4 billion instead of decreasing as projected. Critics argue that CMMI's overreach and lack of accountability necessitate its termination to prevent further waste of taxpayer dollars.
GB News: Ford risks losing £1.1billion from Donald Trump's tariffs after 'bold move' - 'Things are very uncertain'
Ford Motor has suspended its annual earnings guidance due to uncertainties from President Trump's tariffs, which are projected to cost the company about $1.5 billion in adjusted earnings. The automaker's shares fell 2.3% after the announcement, with executives noting the need for major adjustments in response to these tariffs.
The tariffs are expected to add $2.5 billion in costs this year, primarily from importing vehicles. Ford has implemented strategies to mitigate some of these costs and remains committed to the U.S. market, despite the challenges. Other automakers, like GM and Stellantis, have also revised their forecasts in light of tariff impacts.

Prominent Catholic Democrats have remained silent on this issue, despite expressing outrage over a meme involving Donald Trump and the Pope. The law is seen as a significant infringement on religious rights, prompting a DOJ investigation into its constitutionality.
