On Wall Street, stocks took a nosedive yesterday. The markets had their steepest decline of the year. It's part of what's been a weeks-long sell-off that's largely been driven by President Trump's chaotic rollout of new tariffs.

My colleague Tyler Pager has been covering the stock market fallout. He says business leaders are warning that Trump's on-again, off-again approach to the tariffs means they can't plan new hiring or investments. Still, Trump has promised more tariffs. He says they're intended to reset what he calls unfair trade relationships and that they'll bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.

The Times has learned that a Justice Department attorney was fired after she refused to help restore gun rights to a prominent supporter of President Trump, Mel Gibson. Gibson, the Hollywood actor, lost his right to own a firearm after a misdemeanor conviction for domestic violence in 2011.

About two weeks ago, the government attorney, Elizabeth Oyer, was put on a working group that was told to generate a list of people who the DOJ thought were good candidates to have their gun rights restored. Oyer told The Times that the list she helped put together was mostly people who had decades-old convictions and who they deemed unlikely to commit new crimes.

But after they finalized the list, the deputy attorney general's office told them to add Gibson's name. They included a letter from Gibson's attorney asking to get his gun rights back, saying he'd made a number of successful movies and that Trump had tapped him to be what the president called a special ambassador to Hollywood. Oyer says she refused.

She had concerns about giving gun rights back to someone convicted of domestic abuse when she hadn't had time to fully consider the case. Hours later, she got a call from a senior Justice Department official. He told her Gibson had a personal relationship with President Trump, which should be enough to recommend restoring his rights.

After she chose not to make that recommendation a second time, Oyer was fired and escorted out of the office. A DOJ official tells The Times that the firing had nothing to do with Gibson. For the moment, the government hasn't released a list of anyone whose gun rights will be restored.

After weeks of relentless Russian drone attacks coming nearly every night, Ukraine launched its own bombardment against Moscow this morning. The mayor of Moscow called it the largest attack on the city in the war so far. Authorities say at least two people were killed and 14 were injured. The airports in Moscow were forced to close temporarily.
