Riley Williams, a 22-year-old far-right extremist from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced to three years in prison for her role in the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. Prosecutors argued that Williams had "distasteful" beliefs and was an "accelerant" of the mob, leading an "army" up a set of stairs toward the office of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. At her sentencing hearing, Williams was accused of obstructing the investigation and denying responsibility for her actions. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss ultimately sentenced Williams to three years in prison and three years of supervised release.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., announced her retirement from the Senate after three decades in office and over 50 years in public service. She will remain in office until the end of next year and intends to accomplish as much as she can for California before her retirement. Feinstein had been under pressure from other Democrats in the state to make room for a younger generation of legislators, and she said she will continue to focus on preventing and combatting wildfires, addressing the needs of her constituents, and working on legislation to protect the environment and promote economic growth.
