Biden emphasized that this action aims to correct historic injustices and sentencing disparities, particularly regarding crack versus powder cocaine distinctions. He has now issued more pardons and commutations than any other president in U.S. history.

The Israel-Gaza ceasefire deal could still unravel - and here’s how
Israel and Hamas are set to enter a ceasefire soon, with hostages expected to be released. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces pressure from coalition partners to withdraw from the deal or resume military action, complicating the ceasefire's stability.

Agencies like the NEA and NEH are criticized for funding initiatives focused on equity rather than artistic excellence, leading to professional consequences for dissenting artists.

Calls for new leadership emphasize the need to restore these institutions to their original missions, celebrating beauty and creativity. Figures like Justin Shubow, Mark Bauerlein, and Alaine Arnott are highlighted as potential leaders who could realign federal arts funding to foster a vibrant cultural landscape.

The Federalist: The Best Way For Trump To Stick It To WHO Is To Stick With It
The Best Way For Trump To Stick It To WHO Is To Stick With It
President-elect Trump has threatened to withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing its failures during the COVID-19 pandemic, including alleged collusion with China and flawed health policies. Critics argue that a rapid exit would diminish U.S. influence and miss a chance for reform.

Reforming WHO could lead to a more accountable organization focused on essential health issues, free from private interests. If reform is deemed impossible, a new entity could be established to better serve member states and their populations.
