WASHINGTON (AP) — A man who attacked an Associated Press photographer and threw a flagpole and smoke grenade at police officers guarding the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was sentenced on Friday to five years in prison. Milstreed told the judge that it was painful to watch his violent acts and hear his combative language that day. Capitol Police Officer Devan Gowdy suffered a concussion when Milstreed hurled his wooded club at a line of officers. “January 6th is a day that will be burned into my brain and my nightmares for the rest of my life,” Gowdy told the judge. He told another Facebook friend that it “felt good” to punch the photographer, whose assault was captured on video by another AP photographer.

☆ Americans are 10 days away from a federal government shutdown and Republicans still can't agree on a way out

However, Republicans can't get it together to figure out a way out of a shutdown. A vote on a GOP funding resolution was yanked on Tuesday, and another on a defense bill failed. After the vote, McCarthy walked off the floor, according to PBS . "These consequences are real and avoidable — but only if House Republicans stop playing political games with peoples' lives and catering to the ideological demands of their most extreme, far-right members," the memo said. "It's time for House Republicans to abide by the bipartisan budget agreement that a majority of them voted for, keep the government open, and address other urgent needs for the American people."

CNN —DirecTV and Nexstar announced Monday that they had largely resolved a bitter carriage dispute that had left millions of the satellite carrier’s subscribers unable to access local television giant Nexstar’s large array of channels. The deal to end the blackout, which began in July and stretched for more than 75 days, comes one week after Disney and Charter also agreed to resolve a dispute that resulted in ABC-owned stations and ESPN being yanked from the cable provider’s lineup. While most of Nexstar’s stations will be covered under the new multi-year agreement, DirecTV said 27 stations controlled by Nexstar, but owned by another company, will not fall under the umbrella. DirecTV chief executive Bill Morrow alluded to the trend in a note to customers on Monday. “Unfortunately, over the past decade-plus access to your programming has become a battleground for networks and stations to try to drive up higher rates,” Morrow said.

A Food and Drug Administration panel said phenylephrine, a commonly used decongestant, doesn't work. Phenylephrine is found in dozens of over-the-counter cold medications to relieve sinus congestion. Phenylephrine versions — sometimes labeled "PE" on the packaging — make up the rest. Several other commonly purchased cold and congestion relief medications also contain phenylephrine, according to The Wall Street Journal. This time, the 16 members of the FDA panel unanimously agreed that current evidence doesn't show a benefit for the drug.

However, the FDIC added that its supervisors were too “generous” in gauging some of First Republic’s risks, notably around interest rates and uninsured deposits. First Republic was subsequently seized by the FDIC and most of its assets sold to JPMorgan Chase. Similarly, the FDIC found in its April post-mortem of the Signature failure that the agency lacked resources to properly supervise the bank as management pursued an overly aggressive growth strategy. “Both regulation and supervision must be strengthened,” said CEO Dennis Kelleher of Better Markets, a group favoring tougher regulation, in response to the report.

CNN —It’s a carriage fight that could lead to the dismantling — or revolution — of the cable television bundle. Charter argues that it is paying a premium for Disney content ($2.2 billion in 2023), but that much of the first-class, buzzy content is actually on platforms like Disney+, not the linear channels. And it says it has proposed “creative ways” to make Disney’s DTC offerings available to Charter subscribers. But, in Disney’s eyes, why would it give away access to its expensive DTC content at no additional cost to Charter subscribers? “The Walt Disney Company and Charter have the opportunity to work together on transforming the industry for the long-term benefit of both companies and their customers,” Charter said.

☆ UBS will cut 3,000 jobs in Switzerland as it absorbs Credit Suisse

London CNN —UBS expects to shed around 3,000 jobs in Switzerland as it tries to save $10 billion from a sweeping overhaul of the global banking giant created by its emergency rescue of Credit Suisse earlier this year. “The Swiss Bank Employees Association demands that the 37,000 employees of the two institutions in Switzerland are treated fairly and equally in the integration process,” the Swiss banking union said in a statement. UBS (UBS) agreed on March 19 to buy Credit Suisse for the bargain price of 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.4 billion) in a rescue orchestrated by Swiss authorities to avert a banking sector meltdown. UBS posted net profit of $29 billion for the second quarter, reflecting a one-off boost from the acquisition of Credit Suisse at a fraction of its value. It also said it no longer required a 100 billion franc ($114.2 billion) government-backed loan and that Credit Suisse had repaid an earlier loan from Switzerland’s central bank of 50 billion francs ($57.1 billion).

But in counties like Pinellas, his policies and rhetoric have already had what his critics believe is their intended effect. She objected to parts of the syllabus Mr. Robinson had distributed to his class on African-American history, which her son had briefly enrolled in. “I don’t stop my class and ask my white kids, ‘Hey, how are you feeling?’ What kind of teacher would do that?” Mr. Robinson said.

The company was co-founded by Jack Ma, as was e-commerce giant Alibaba Group (BABA). On Friday, Chinese financial regulators fined Ant and its subsidiaries a total of 7.1 billion yuan ($984 million) for breaking rules related to consumer protection and corporate governance. The fines mean the regulatory “overhang” over the Chinese internet sector has finally been removed, Jefferies analysts said Saturday. Chinese tech shares rallied Monday, with Alibaba rising 3.2% and Tencent gaining 0.7%. Friday’s fines mark the conclusion of the regulatory crackdown on Ant and could pave the way for the company to revive its long-anticipated IPO, according to analysts.

Investors worry about market ructions if Ueda hikes rates now but there is another risk: that he waits too long. Reuters GraphicsUeda’s inaction – and the domestic markets’ positive response – have bought him time to focus on evaluating macroeconomic fundamentals, particularly inflation. The country only emerged from a decades-long deflationary rut relatively recently, so local economists, executives and consumers are unused to worrying about consumer prices rising too fast. The government’s latest draft of its long-term economic plan, seen by Reuters on June 2, remains focused on eradicating Japan's “long-held deflationary mindset”. "We expect inflation to quite clearly slow below 2%" toward the middle of the current fiscal year, Ueda told parliament.

Shares of online brokerages Futu Holdings and Up Fintech Holding were sharply lower on the Nasdaq Tuesday after they said they'll remove their apps from online stores on the Chinese mainland in response to "rectification requirements" from the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission. Tencent -backed Futu will remove its Futubull app from app stores in China by May 19, and Up Fintech said it will remove its app, Tiger International, by May 18. Both companies said existing mainland Chinese customers will still be able to trade using the apps. Up Fintech said existing Chinese mainland clients will receive links for instructions on how to update and download the app going forward, while Futu gave a phone number for clients to call. The two Chinese firms stopped accepting mainland Chinese clients at the end of last year after the CSRC started inquiries regarding their cross-border operations, including providing cross-border securities services for domestic investors.

Online banks are boosting rates on savings accounts and certificates of deposits as fear of deposit flight plagues regional institutions. Bread offers an annual percentage yield (APY) of 5.2% on a one-year CD and 4.65% APY on savings accounts. Capital One has an APY of 3.75% on its savings account, and it pays 4.15% APY for a one-year online CD. Other online institutions paying attractive rates on one-year CDs include Synchrony Financial, which pays 4.75% APY, and Ally Bank, which offers a 4.5% APY. Analysts expect higher rates from online banks to spur other institutions to raise their deposit betas – that is, the amount by which rates paid to customers increases following a boost in the fed funds rate.
