YOUR MORNING NEWS ROUNDUP

Tue Apr 21 2026

Welcome to the Daily Briefing. Here’s what’s breaking this morning:

A special election in Virginia today is "confusing" for voters.
President Trump will read the Bible to America this week.
Some airlines cut summer flights amid fuel prices.

Nicole Fallert here, craving a good sleep. Here's the news to know Tuesday, from tariff refunds to a Virginia special election today. Plus: The Devil is back. And, yes, she wears Prada.

Can you get paid back for tariffs?

As of Tuesday, a portal is now open to begin refunding companies that paid tariffs on imports. The payments come after the Supreme Court ordered the government to do so earlier this year.

The refund system, known as CAPE, will consolidate refunds so importers will get one electronic payment, with interest when applicable, rather than processing refunds on an entry-by-entry basis.

Multiple importers told Reuters they are concerned about the durability of the new filing system.

"It's not like Taylor Swift tickets going on sale," said Basic Fun CEO Jay Foreman, who is seeking $7 million in refunds, but with so many companies looking for a refund at the same time, there's "no telling if it crashes the portal."

Meanwhile, the shoppers who paid more  for imported products likely won’t get their money back.

The truth about 'biohacking'

We are in the age of the "biohacker." What exactly does that mean? Picture a biohacker as someone who gathers a ton of health data about themselves to try and improve their longevity, separate from the care they're receiving from their primary doctors. But that's not all it is.
