Good evening. Here’s the latest. |

1. Call it the saga of the wayward warships. |
A week ago, the White House declared that ordering an American aircraft carrier into the Sea of Japan would send a powerful deterrent signal to North Korea. |
But the ships were actually sailing in the opposite direction — a fact that came to light only after the photograph above was posted online by the Navy. |
White House officials said on Tuesday they were relying on guidance from the Defense Department. |
The carrier is now heading to the Sea of Japan. It should arrive sometime next week. |

2. It was everyone’s favorite day: Tax Day. |
On a more serious note: It looks like President Trump’s efforts to overhaul the U.S. tax code are in serious jeopardy. The Democrats insist they won’t cooperate on it unless Mr. Trump releases his own. |
If you’re wondering where your tax money goes, Steve Ballmer, the former chief executive of Microsoft, unveiled a new website to answer that question. |

3. “It’s America First, you better believe it.” |
As he nears 100 days in office, President Trump spoke at a Wisconsin factory about an executive order authorizing studies and tweaks in government rules that could lead to restrictions on H-1B visas for foreign workers. |
There are signs he’s drifting away from the populist, anti-establishment ideas that guided his campaign. |
And here’s a selection of partisan writing you shouldn’t miss. |

4. Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain announced that she was reversing course and calling an early election. |
She’s making a risky bet that voters will give her a strong mandate as she negotiates the terms of Britain’s exit from the European Union. The vote will be held June 8. |
And the first round of voting in France’s presidential election starts Sunday. Critics are worried that Russia may be meddling in the election to bolster favored candidates. |

5. The man suspected of fatally shooting a Cleveland man and then posting video of the killing on Facebook is dead. |
Steve Stephens shot himself as he was chased by the police near Erie, Pa., the authorities said. |
The pursuit began when a McDonald’s worker stalled him by holding on to his fries — and calling the police. |

6. Voters in a wealthy suburban district in Georgia are going to the polls to fill the seat vacated by former Representative Tom Price, who is now the health and human services secretary. |
There are 18 candidates to replace him, and the front-runner is a bit of a surprise. Jon Ossoff is a 30–year-old Democrat and filmmaker whose slogan is “Make Trump Furious.” |

7. In Arkansas, two executions that were set to be carried out yesterday were delayed, one at the 11th hour. They were among eight executions scheduled over 10 days this month. |
Others are scheduled for this Thursday and Monday. The legal challenges and protests continue, including over the lethal-injection cocktail the state plans to use. |

8. We visited two heavily patrolled borders that have become hot spots in the global refugee crisis — between the U.S. and Mexico, and Hungary and Serbia. |
In southeastern Texas, the Border Patrol agents monitor the banks of the Rio Grande on horseback for drug smugglers and migrants, many of whom are Central Americans seeking asylum. |
Hungary, above, which heavily fortified its border over the last two years, is letting in just a handful of asylum seekers these days, and putting them in detention centers while their cases are decided. |

9. In Hollywood, TV and movie writers begin voting tomorrow on whether to strike over raises and health benefits. |
If no deal is reached between the Writers Guild of America and studios by May 1, they’ll stop work the next day, forcing the late-night comedy shows to immediately start running reruns. |
That means we’d be without bits like the one Jimmy Fallon had about the White House Easter Egg Roll: “That bunny took a look at Trump and said, ‘Oh my God, a talking carrot!'” |
Above, a scene from the last strike, in 2007-2008, which lasted 100 days. |

10. Finally, it’s springtime in Transylvania. Take a peek at this Hungarian village in Romania where they still celebrate a centuries-old seasonal tradition. |
On Easter Monday, young men “water” young women like flowers, dousing them with freshly drawn well water and patchouli to bring them health, beauty and love. |
Have a great night. |
