Hostile journalists & lawmakers have suggested Mr. Trump incitedthe riot when he told a rally that Republicans need to “fight much harder.”

Mr. Trump suggested the crowd walk to the Capitol: “We’re
going to cheer on brave senators & congressmen &women, and women.
We’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong.”

In District of Columbia, it’s a crime to “intentionally or recklessly act in such a manner to cause
another person to be in reasonable fear”
and to “incite or provoke violence where there is a likelihood that such violence will ensue.”

This language is based on Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), in which the Supreme Court set the standard for speech that

Trump: Impeachment push over Capitol riot is causing 'tremendous anger' nypost.com/2021/01/12/tru… via @nypost
Trump spoke to reporters again on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews in Maryland and said he didn’t incite the riot. “They’ve analyzed my speech and my words and my final paragraph, my final sentence. And everybody to the tee thought it was totally appropriate,” Trump said.
Trump also lashed out also at Big Tech companies that have censored him following the riot and purged many accounts of alleged conspiracy theorists. Trump was permanently banned by Twitter and banned from using Facebook or Instagram until at least after Biden’s inauguration.

"24/12/2020, China’s market regulator began an antitrust probe into Alibaba & sent investigators to its headquarters
of Hangzhou.

Announcement came after the party’s politburo targeted monopoly businesses to prevent “disorderly expansion of capital”.
The move on Alibaba also came two months after financial regulators dramatically cancelled Ant’s planned $37bn initial public offering, which would have been the world’s largest.

The measures amount to unprecedented squeeze on a business whose ubiquitous services are central to

"A strong recovery could be bad for asset prices"

Global liquidity will continue to pour into the world economy. But how will that impact asset prices and the recovery?
ft.com/content/4429c2… via @FinancialTimes
Michael J. Howell founded CrossBorder Capital, a London-based advisory investment management company in 1996. He published a book "Capital Wars" on the turbulent rise of global liquidity. In this post, he argues that despite the pool
of cash and credit available to investors breaking fresh records in 2021, global liquidity may prove to be more positive for economies than for asset markets.
When liquidity concentrates in asset markets, measures of so-called monetary velocity — calculated using the ratio of

Congress has co-opted Silicon Valley to do through the back door what government cannot directly accomplish under the Constitution, write @VivekGRamaswamy and Jed Rubenfeld wsj.com/articles/save-… via @WSJ
