Ex-Proud Boys Organizer Gets 17 Years in Prison, Second Longest Sentence in Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Case
SUMMARY: Former Proud Boys organizer, Joseph Biggs, was sentenced to 17 years in prison for leading an attack on the U.S. Capitol after the 2020 presidential election. This is the second longest sentence related to the Capitol riot, following an 18-year sentence for Oath Keepers founder, Stewart Rhodes. Although prosecutors recommended a 33-year sentence for Biggs, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly highlighted the attack’s impact on the American tradition of peaceful power transfer. Biggs expressed regret, attributing his actions to the influence of the crowd. The case underscores the gravity of the January 6th events, with over 600 individuals convicted and sentenced.

Biden dismisses diminishing poll numbers, low approval rating after debate
SUMMARY: In an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, President Joe Biden dismissed polls indicating his declining approval rating, maintaining that more Americans support him than reflected. Despite a New York Times/Siena College poll showing only a 36% approval rating and Donald Trump gaining ground, Biden questioned the accuracy of these polls. Stephanopoulos raised concerns about Biden's re-election chances given his low ratings and the close race despite Trump's criminal convictions. Biden contended these polls were unreliable and recalled overcoming similar skepticism in 2020. He reaffirmed his confidence in winning, asserting he's the most qualified candidate.
