    In U.S. politics Donald Trump is back in a feud with Pope Leo XIV, telling U.S. media that the pope’s warnings are helping Iran and making the world less safe. Trump cast the pope’s comments as showing indifference to Iran possibly getting nuclear weapons, just ahead of Marco Rubio’s planned Vatican visit. On Capitol Hill, newly released records show Congress spent more than $338,000 in taxpayer money from 2007 to 2017 to settle workplace complaints, part of roughly $18 million paid out since the late 1990s. Rep. Nancy Mace is releasing about 1,000 pages of documents and pushing for more accountability over how harassment complaints have been handled, because apparently the receipts needed a subpoena to come out. In courts and tech OpenAI President Greg Brockman pushed back hard in federal court in Oakland against Elon Musk’s account of the company’s early structure and negotiations. Brockman said he never made commitments to Musk about OpenAI’s corporate setup, said the company remains a nonprofit, and testified that Musk had OpenAI employees doing months of unpaid work for Tesla in 2017 on self-driving technology. The trial resumes Wednesday with Shivon Zilis expected to testify. In public safety and transportation Police in Carrollton say two people were killed and three others injured in a targeted shooting during a business meeting. The suspect was captured nearby after a brief foot chase. In a separate case, two planes came within about 500 feet of each other near JFK on Monday evening, another close call in crowded airspace, though officials said required separation was maintained. In climate and energy California is asking a federal court to block the restart of offshore oil operations near Santa Barbara, arguing that Sable Offshore Corp. is pushing ahead under a federal order that does not override state environmental rules. State officials say the company has already started moving oil through the Las Flores pipeline system without proper authorization, while the company says it will keep pumping and fight for the federal order to take precedence. In the military The U.S. military says it killed three people in another strike on a suspected drug-trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific, bringing the reported death toll from these operations to 190. That is a large number for a policy that still sounds like it was drafted on a napkin. In health and travel Spain has agreed to let a cruise ship with a hantavirus outbreak dock in the Canary Islands. Three people have died since the outbreak began in April, and two crew members now need urgent care.
