WASHINGTON — NATO leaders gathering in Washington starting Tuesday plan to shore up transatlantic support for Ukraine in its battle against Russia. But for host President Joe Biden, the summit has become just as much about demonstrating he is capable of meeting the grinding demands of the presidency for four more years. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Heads of state from Europe and North America are confronting the prospect of the return of NATO skeptic Donald Trump as Biden tries to save his reelection campaign, which has been in a tailspin following a disastrous June 27 debate performance against Trump. The president said his work at the summit, where NATO is celebrating 75 years, would be a good way to judge his continued ability to do the job.

  • Biden Makes History by Commuting 4,000 Total Sentences in Last Days in Office
    Mother Jones, Friday - 01/17/2025 - 12:15 PM

    This morning President Joe Biden announced that he is commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people serving longer prison terms for convictions related to crack cocaine. In doing so, Biden made history and set the record for the most total individual commutations by a president in history at over 4,000. “Today’s clemency action provides relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack and powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for drug crimes,” Biden said in a statement issued by the White House on Friday. This distinction was set by a 1986 law drafted by then-Sen.

  • Supreme Court Upholds TikTok Ban
    Mother Jones, Friday - 01/17/2025 - 11:32 AM

    The Supreme Court on Friday allowed a ban on TikTok to take effect. Last year, President Joe Biden signed a law that would ban the platform unless its Chinese parent-company, ByteDance, sold it. In handing down its ruling, the court rebuffed an effort by the platform, some of its users, numerous free-speech advocates, and President-elect Donald Trump to halt the ban from taking effect. The case pitted Congress’ national security concerns against the free speech rights of TikTok and its users.

    Mother Jones, Friday - 01/17/2025 - 09:10 AM

    In the early days of the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, President Joe Biden took some time to congratulate himself on a job well done. For weeks, his administration had been pursuing a “bear hug” of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: heaping billions in aid on the US ally and insulating it from international diplomatic pressure.

  • How Trump’s political and business interests will intersect in the White House
    Denver Post, Friday - 01/17/2025 - 07:16 AM

    By MEG KINNARD and ALEX CONNOR, Associated Press As he assumes the presidency for a second time, Donald Trump brings with him a broad expanse of business relationships and financial entanglements — and the possibility that those associations could influence his decision-making in the White House. Trump’s team dismisses such concerns. “President Trump removed himself from his multibillion-dollar real estate empire to run for office and forewent his government salary, becoming the first President to actually lose net worth while serving in the White House,” Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
