Fox News: Republicans hammer Biden for federal death row reprieves ahead of leaving office
President Biden's decision to commute the sentences of nearly all federal death row inmates has drawn sharp criticism from Republicans, who label him as "soft-on-crime." Prominent figures like Sen. Tom Cotton and House Speaker Mike Johnson condemned the move as a betrayal to victims' families.
Conversely, some Democrats praised Biden's action as a necessary step toward justice and a rejection of capital punishment. Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin and Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal highlighted the commutations as a humane approach to criminal justice reform.

CNSNews: 2 Important Drone Questions No One’s Asking (if There Be Drones)
The surge of reported drone sightings raises critical questions about their presence and the government's response. If drones are indeed prevalent, why do they remain visible despite media attention? Possible explanations include a belief in their undetectability or a lack of concern for public perception.
Additionally, the FAA's increasing drone bans seem contradictory if the agency cannot detect these drones. This raises doubts about the effectiveness of such bans, suggesting they may serve more as a public relations effort than a genuine attempt to address safety concerns.
