Jeff Roe, a seasoned GOP operative and architect of the ground game operation in Iowa for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, announced his departure from the Never Back Down super PAC on Saturday night due to a Washington Post story containing a statement from the PAC's new chairman that was critical of former employees. This comes at a critical time for DeSantis, as he is up for re-election in 2022, and it remains to be seen how the PAC's new leadership will affect the governor's chances.

Five members of the far-right extremist group, the Proud Boys, are facing nine counts, including the rarely-used charge of seditious conspiracy, in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Assistant U.S. Attorney Conor Mulroe has argued that the Proud Boys were “thirsting for violence, and organizing for action” before the attack and that they were “lined up behind Donald Trump and willing to commit violence on his behalf.” The jury is expected to reach a verdict soon, and the charge of seditious conspiracy carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
