President Joe Biden announced this morning that he is taking 37 people off federal death row to serve out life sentences behind bars — a decision that leaves only three federal prisoners awaiting execution when Trump takes office next month. Via CNN: “Today, I am commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 individuals on federal death row to life sentences without the possibility of parole,” Biden announced in a statement released Monday.

Maxwell Frost in the House & Chris Murphy in the Senate are doing what ALL their colleagues should be doing--LEADING. Donald Trump, diaper king of Mar-a-Lago, is threatening Liz Cheney & nominating criminals to the cabinet.
