• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says DOGE-style offices should be in every part of government.
• Greene held a town hall in Georgia, where police tossed out several protesters.
• Greene dismissed concerns over losing Social Security benefits to White House DOGE office cuts.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said at her town hall session in Cobb County, Georgia, on Tuesday that DOGE-like groups that "reduce waste, fraud, and abuse" should be "in every part of government."

"Absolutely," said Greene, who is also the chairwoman of the House DOGE Subcommittee, in response to an on-screen question about whether she could see a role for DOGE-like offices at the state level.

"I think it is happening in Georgia — I've heard there are over 70 counties that have, that are creating DOGE groups," Greene added.

There have been efforts to bring DOGE-like offices to state and local government. The campaigns also often come with names like Wisconsin's GOAT committee, Florida's FLOGE, and the BullDOGEr in North Carolina.

Georgia's proposed version, the Red Tape Rollback Act of 2025, sponsored entirely by Republican state senators, would require state agencies to complete a top-to-bottom review of all rules and regulations every four years and look into the economic impact of all proposed rules.

As of March 19, the legislation moved out of committee in the Georgia House of Representatives.

Greene, currently representing Georgia District 14, went ahead with the Tuesday town hall in a Harris-won county despite House Speaker Mike Johnson urging Republican lawmakers to stop conducting in-person town halls as the GOP faces angry crowds.

The town hall at the Acworth Community Center proceeded under a police presence who were quick to remove protesters. The Q&A session displayed questions on screen instead of interacting with the audience live.

Punctuated with boos and occasional angry yells, the police removed at least five at the event, more than one person was tased, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that at least one was arrested.

The Acworth Police Department and Greene did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Greene also faced on-screen questions concerning how Social Security and Medicaid would be affected by DOGE's firing of workers and closure of some field offices, potentially inducing long wait times and forcing recipients to travel longer distances to reach in-person offices.

"Well, Christina, I'm sure you think you are pretty smart, but the reality is you are being completely brainwashed by whatever source of news you listen to," said Greene to a concerned constituent's question. "No one has lost their Social Security, no one has lost their Medicaid."

• Hongkong Post temporarily halted the delivery of goods from the US, effective Tuesday.
• The service said in a release that the US was "bullying and imposing tariffs abusively."
• Parcels containing only documents will not be affected

Hong Kong's postal service is temporarily stopping the delivery of postal items from the US in retaliation to President Donald Trump's slew of tariffs.

"The US is unreasonable, bullying and imposing tariffs abusively," the service said in a press release on Tuesday.

The service added that it took issue with the US government's decision to "eliminate the duty-free de minimis treatment for postal items despatched from Hong Kong to the US and increase the tariffs for postal items containing goods to the US starting from May 2."

"Hongkong Post will definitely not collect any so-called tariffs on behalf of the US and will suspend the acceptance of postal items containing goods destined to the US," the press release read.

Hongkong Post also said that from Tuesday, it would be suspending the delivery of surface mail — which is sent by land or sea — to the US.

It would also stop accepting airmail destined for the US from April 27.

Postal items only containing documents will not be affected, the release said.

Hongkong Post's announcement comes as trade tensions between China and the US continue to escalate. The two countries have exchanged retaliatory tariffs since Trump first imposed a 10% tariff on goods from China in February.

The US now imposes a 145% tariff on goods from China, and Beijing has responded with a 125% tariff on US-made products.

Trump has also cracked down on the de minimis loophole, which allowed small packages under $800, like those from Chinese retailers Shein and Temu, to be brought into the country tax-free.

On April 9, Trump issued an executive order imposing a 120% tax on small parcels under $800 from China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

The order added that per-item postal fees for these parcels would increase to $100 between May 2 and June 1 and to $200 after June 1.

Representatives for Hongkong Post did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

The measures were taken amid an investigation by the Pentagon examining internal leaks.

• David's Bridal shifted production from China to avoid tariffs, CEO Kelly Cook told Business Insider.
• The company reduced China-based production from over 50% to about 30% in recent months.
• David's Bridal is also exploring the feasibility of producing wedding dresses in the US.

The largest bridal retailer in the US started shifting its production out of China months ago in anticipation of the Trump administration's tariffs.

David's Bridal CEO Kelly Cook told Business Insider the company was not "tariff-proof" but "tariff-resilient" going into April, when President Donald Trump's latest tariff push sent companies around the world scrambling and financial markets tanking.

Cook, who took over as CEO on April 1, said the company has 36 design and production facilities around the world, including in China, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, the Philippines, Myanmar, and India. That diversified production allowed the company to proactively respond to potential tariffs.

By the time Trump announced a 145% tariff on goods from China last week, the company had already largely shifted production to its facilities elsewhere.

Cook said that over the past few months the company decreased its China-based production from over 50% of its total to about 30%, a move that was possible due to the production that was already ongoing in other countries.

"We want to do everything in our power not to pass anything on to the customer," Cook said, adding that as of last week, David's Bridal had not raised prices as a result of tariffs.

The majority of bridal gowns sold in the US are produced in China, making the industry highly susceptible to the impacts of Trump's trade war. Independent bridal shops recently told BI that about 90% of their gowns were made in China and that, in some cases, wholesale wedding dress prices were already rising as a result of tariffs.

The average wedding dress sold in the US retails for around $2,000 according to wedding planning website The Knot, so the steep tariffs on China could result in brides or bridal shops being hit with a hefty additional cost. And for couples getting married, that increase would be on top of the average cost of a wedding in the US, which The Knot puts at $33,000.

In addition to moving its own production out of China, David's Bridal is also helping some of the manufacturers it partners with move their operations out of the country and to some of its other facilities.

Cook said the company also has about 300,000 gowns already state-side in its 193 stores located throughout the US, so they wouldn't be subject to tariffs.

"We are very focused on ensuring that that level of inventory stays voluminous so we can anticipate needs like this," she said.

Cook added that with so much uncertainty around tariffs, David's Bridal is focusing on the factors it can control — "optimizing, looking at cost controls, moving production," she said. "We'll just continue to stay focused on that until the dust settles on all of the tariffs."

David's Bridal is also exploring the possibility of producing gowns in the US. Cook said the company is visiting a potential manufacturing location in June to evaluate if production could occur stateside.

The National Bridal Retailers Association, which represents about 6,000 independent bridal shops, recently told BI that the US does not currently have the infrastructure to produce the quality of dresses at scale that can be produced in China.

"There's no doubt that we can find the labor and the talent in the US to do the same thing," Cook said. "It's about timing and location and other economic factors like capital and so forth that we will evaluate."

• Nvidia said in a Tuesday SEC filing that it expects up to $5.5 billion in charges due to a new export rule.
• Nvidia fell over 6% after hours, while Asian suppliers such as TSMC fell on Wednesday morning.
• The Trump White House is eyeing tariffs on chips as a way to encourage onshore manufacturing.

Nvidia expects up to about $5.5 billion in charges as a result of the Trump administration's licensing requirement to export the company's H20 chips to China, according to a Tuesday evening SEC filing. The news sent shares of Nvidia and key suppliers down.

The chip designer said in the filing that the government informed Nvidia that the export rule would be "in effect for the indefinite future." Nvidia said the charges are expected to be reflected in the company's first-quarter earnings, which ends on April 27.

"First quarter results are expected to include up to approximately $5.5 billion of charges associated with H20 products for inventory, purchase commitments, and related reserves," the company said in the filing.

The announcement caused Nvidia stock to slide more than 6% after trading hours.

In Asia, where the company's supply chain is concentrated, stocks of Nvidia suppliers declined as markets opened on Wednesday.

Japanese testing equipment maker Advantest dropped 5%. Shares of semiconductor wafer producers Samsung Electronics and TSMC fell 2.6% and 2%, respectively. Memory maker SK Hynix slumped 3% and testing and assembly company Wistron fell 2.8%.

In a note on Wednesday, Bernstein analysts said banning the H20 chip made "little sense" to them.

"H20 performance is low, well below already-available Chinese alternatives," analysts led by Stacy A. Rasgon wrote in the note. "A ban essentially simply hands the Chinese AI market over to Huawei."

According to Bernstein, China's H20 sales amounted to about $12 billion in revenue, which is "not trivial but not enormous in the grand scheme of things."

Nvidia's H20 chips were specifically made to comply with Biden-era export controls on chips sent to China as the world's superpowers remain in an AI arms race.

The current administration sees the new export rule as a means to address the risk of China developing its own supercomputer, the company said in the filing. The rule doesn't stop the export of H20 chips — but it requires Nvidia to get a license to export them.

A White House spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment and an Nvidia spokesperson declined to comment.

Where the charges come from

Exporting the H20 chips themselves isn't costing the company up to $5.5 billion.

According to the filing, the charges instead could include H20 chips that have already been manufactured and now may be more difficult to sell due to the new requirement. Nvidia is also accounting for costs related to producing the chip and additional funds that may be needed to cover potential future losses.

The Trump administration has taken steps to pave a way for tariffs on chips, including probes led by the Commerce Department into semiconductor imports. The investigations seek to determine what impacts those imports have on national security, which could give President Donald Trump a reason to implement tariffs on key tech goods.

In general, Trump has said that his tariff strategy is part of a broader effort to encourage domestic manufacturing of key goods. The president is also hoping to use the levies to push China to negotiate a better trade deal with the US, although the specifics around his demands are not clear.

On Monday, Nvidia reiterated its commitment to invest $500 billion over the next four years in the US, promising AI supercomputers and data centers.

The White House promoted the announcement as a win, calling it "the Trump Effect in action."
