He continued his protest despite being warned that he'd be removed if he didn't sit down. Stocks are lower on Wall Street. It comes as investors seek more clarity on the latest tariffs implemented by President Trump this week. Yesterday, the White House announced a one month delay for tariffs on automakers, which led some traders to believe more exemptions are on the way. The Department of Education is at risk of being shut down. President Trump is reportedly planning to sign an executive order soon that effectively shuts down the department. The draft order, seen by the Wall Street Journal, will direct Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take all steps permitted by law to facilitate the department's closure. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs is confirming mass layoffs in the department. It was reported Wednesday that the V-A plans to fire 15-percent of its workforce, about 70-thousand employees. VA Secretary Doug Collins confirmed the news on social media, saying "the federal government does not exist to employ people." Defense attorneys for Bryan Kohberger say his autism diagnosis should remove the death penalty as a possible sentence. Kohberger is charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students. In a court filing, defense attorneys say the death sentence would be unconstitutional, because of the autism diagnosis. Adidas says it has sold the last of its Yeezy shoe stock. The company cut ties with Kanye West in 2022 after the rapper made antisemitic remarks.
