He leaves the presidency with the worst end-of-first-term approval rating of any president since Jimmy Carter; 55.8 percent of Americans disapprove of his job performance and only 37.1 percent approve, as of Friday.

On Friday, President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of nearly 2,500 people who had been convicted of nonviolent drug offenses — setting the record for issuing more individual pardons or commutations than any other US president. Biden in December also commuted the sentences of 1,500 people who had been released from prison during the pandemic […] Read more ›

On Friday, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld a federal law that effectively bans the social media app TikTok in the United States, unless the platform’s China-based owner sells TikTok.

One of the main reasons Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election is the Biden administration’s record on immigration and the border — polls show it ranks up close with inflation among the top issues that drove swing voters to Trump. And the recriminations about how Democrats got so out of step with the public […] Read more ›
