Stocks are falling on fears of a global trade war. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been down over 800 points at times after President Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on countries that oppose the sale of Greenland to the U.S. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were also down over one-percent in a broad sell-off. 
A majority of the Supreme Court appears to be skeptical of Hawaii's "vampire rule" related to firearms. Justices heard arguments today on the rule, which requires anyone carrying a firearm to ask for permission to enter private property. It's called the "vampire rule" because fictional vampires must get permission to enter a home. The conservative justices of the court seemed to suggest the rule violates the Second Amendment right to bear arms. President Trump says ICE is rounding up dangerous criminals in Minnesota as protests continue in the state. Today in the White House Press Room, Trump held up pictures of the alleged criminal immigrants with descriptions of their crimes. His comments come as anti-ICE protests heat up after the deadly shooting of Renee Good by an agent. The first trial of an official accused in the slow police response to the deadly mass shooting at a Texas elementary school could go to the jury this week. Prosecutors say former Uvalde school officer Adrian Gonzales failed to confront the gunman after arriving at Robb Elementary School during the massacre May 24th, 2022. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed. On Tuesday, prosecutors rested their case and Gonzales's attorneys have begun their defense. The NBA is out with the schedule for the 2026 Finals. The league announced the best-of-seven series is set to begin Wednesday, June 3rd. All games are set to be televised on ABC with tip-off at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time. If the series extends beyond four games, Games Five, Six, and Seven are slated for June 13th, 16th, and 19th. Harry Styles is set to release his first single in three years. The Grammy award-winning singer is releasing his long-awaited new song "Aperture." This will serve as the lead track of his new album "Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally." Styles first announced the album last Thursday on his social media platforms. The song releases this Friday.
