The declines come despite emergency measures by regulators to protect depositors at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank and President Biden’s remarks to reassure Americans.

‘Consider the pain’: Children of slain Dem call on Trump to take down ‘false’ video
The children of a slain Democratic lawmaker called out President Donald Trump on Sunday after he shared a "false" video on Truth Social that they claim "twisted" the vote of their late mother.
On Sunday, Trump posted a video on Truth Social that claimed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz had former state lawmaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their dog assassinated because she voted to take away health care for illegal immigrants. Hortman was gunned down at home over the summer by Vance Boelter, a Republican voter who impersonated law enforcement to gain access to the Hortmans' home, according to the Department of Justice.
Colin and Sophie Hortman, the late lawmaker's son and daughter, called on Trump to remove the video from social media and apologize to the family.
"I am asking President Trump to remove the video that he shared and apologize to me and my family for posting this misinformation and for using my mother's own words to dishonor her legacy," Colin Hortman said in a statement.
"The video the president shared is another hurdle our family must overcome in grieving the loss of my parents ... I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced, and to honor the spirit of the holidays we have just spent without our parents by taking down the post on Truth Social," Sohpie Hortman added.

‘Smoking gun’ exposed by senator as Trump admin suffers major court setback
A senior Democratic senator lambasted President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday after a judge handed the administration its latest loss in a high-profile immigration case.
On Tuesday, Judge Waverly Crenshaw Jr. of the Middle District of Tennessee handed down a ruling that found Trump prosecutors were conspiring with people in Washington, D.C. who "may or may not have acted with improper motivation," when bringing charges against Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, CNN's Jim Scuitto reported on "The Arena." Abrego-Garcia is a Salvadoran national who had lived in Maryland for several years with temporary protected status before the Trump administration illegally deported him in March.
Initially, the Trump administration blamed his deportation on an "administrative error" before returning Abrego-Garcia to the U.S. After he arrived, prosecutors then charged him with human trafficking, and at least one top Department of Justice official called the prosecution of Abrego-Garcia a "top priority," according to the ruling.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) bashed the Trump administration's treatment of Abrego-Garcia during an interview on CNN's "The Arena" on Tuesday, calling it a "smoking gun" for the vindictive prosecution charges.
"The Justice Department decided to bring these charges against him because he asserted his due process rights when they illegally shipped him off to CECOT in El Salvador," Van Hollen said. "This looks like another example of the Trump administration sometimes manipulating the facts to bring a vindictive case against Abrego-Garcia."
