Former President Donald Trump may have been permanently booted from Twitter, but YouTube will let him have his account back — just not yet quite yet. YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said at an event Thursday that the former president, who was suspended from YouTube in January, will be allowed to use his account again once there's no longer an "elevated risk of violence" in the United States. "We will lift the suspension of the Donald Trump channel when we determine the risk of violence has decreased," Wojcicki said, Politico reports. YouTube suspended Trump's account in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, saying he violated the platform's "policies for inciting violence." The suspension was initially said to be for at least a week, but it was later extended. The video platform never said Trump's suspension would be permanent, though, contrasting with Twitter, which booted Trump from the platform forever due to his actions surrounding the riot. Trump was also suspended from Facebook, a decision that's being reviewed by the platform's independent oversight board and could potentially be overturned. Wojcicki didn't offer a specific timeline for when Trump's account could come back online but she said that, after Capitol Police warned of a potential plot to breach the Capitol building on Thursday, it's "pretty clear" that the "elevated violence risk still remains."

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell suggested Thursday that inflation will pick up in the coming months but that it would likely prove temporary and not enough for the Fed to alter its record-low interest rate policies. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note had jumped from below 1% at the end of last year to roughly 1.4% Wednesday — and then surged above 1.5% during Powell’s remarks. Stock investors, too, dumped shares in the midst of Powell's remarks, in which he suggested that the Fed would need to see both a near-full recovery in the job market and a sustained rise in inflation above its target level before considering a rate hike.

GM is considering building a second battery plant in the United States. The largest American automaker said Thursday it hopes to have a decision by June. It’s conducting a feasibility study with its South Korean joint-venture partner LG Chem. LG Chem’s battery unit said in a statement that it was in talks to make further investments with GM. Sources said the two are likely to build the plant near GM’s Spring Hill assembly plant in Tennessee. It would be similar in scope to its joint venture battery factory now under construction near GM’s closed assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio. When completed, it will become one of the world’s largest battery facilities. It will help accelerate GM’s plan to deliver 30 new electric vehicles globally by 2025. In the U.S., Tesla largely controls battery production, but most battery manufacturing is currently concentrated in Asia and Europe. Just last week, U.S. President Joe Biden signed an executive order that will launch a review of supply chains for four critical products that include batteries for EVs. GM shares initially rose 3% Thursday before turning south.

The day after he single-handedly delayed the U.S. Senate's debate on President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill for 11 hours, Republican Senator Ron Johnson said on Friday that he could retire from office when his term expires. The 65-year-old Republican, who was first elected to the Senate during the Tea Party surge in 2010, had pledged to spend only two terms in the Senate.
An anonymous source who is familiar with an FBI cellphone data report says there was communication between the two.
Biden and Democratic leaders are pushing for passage before March 14 when unemployment benefits approved under an earlier relief bill expire.
