Biden on Saturday named 19 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Sunday plans to sign into law a measure that boosts Social Security payments for current and former public employees, affecting nearly 3 million people who receive pensions from their time as teachers, firefighters, police officers and in other public service jobs.
