Quick takeaways

Stuart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers, has been charged with sedition for his role in plotting to storm the Capitol on January 6th, marking the first sedition charge among the 700 individuals linked to the attack.

The Biden administration's plan for COVID-19 testing has faced criticism for its slow turnaround time, limited availability, and insurance coverage hurdles, although there are signs of decline in Omicron cases.

The Biden administration should prioritize delivering on their campaign promises, push their agenda with passion and directness, and focus on issues supported by the majority of Americans.

Progressive lawmakers must remember their principles, stand strong against mainstream and corporate Democrats, champion justice and progressive policies, and utilize their power as the largest caucus in Congress.

Deep dives

First Oath Keepers leader charged with seditious conspiracy

Stuart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers, has been arrested and charged with seditious conspiracy, along with 10 other Oath Keepers. They are accused of plotting to storm the Capitol on January 6th and disrupt the certification of Joe Biden's electoral victory. This is the first sedition charge among the 700 people accused so far in connection with the attack. The charge of seditious conspiracy is difficult to prove and carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. It remains to be seen how the case will unfold, but previous sedition charges have been difficult to successfully prosecute.
