Biden Administration

Democratic lawmakers had urged President Biden to use his clemency powers to address disparities in sentences for offenses involving crack cocaine.

One of President Biden's final moves in office is aimed at shoring up critical infrastructure from cyberattacks.

A dozen educators, researchers, advocates and experts gave him two F's, no A's and lots of votes in the middle.

U.S. employers added more than a quarter-million jobs in December, according to the Labor Department. That's far more than forecasters were expecting.

The White House says President Biden will officially announce two new national monuments next week. Wildfires in California forced changes to his plans for Tuesday.

Public service workers, including some teachers, firefighters and police officers, may soon see their Social Security payments increase by hundreds of dollars monthly.

Biden will also posthumously grant the medal to former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and former Michigan Gov. George Romney.

In total, Biden commuted 37 out of 40 death sentences to life without the possibility of parole. The group Human Rights Dallas said the president should grant clemency to all 40.

Opponents of the death penalty had urged President Biden to take this step, given the number of executions that took place during President-elect Donald Trump's first term.

Biden said he plans to take more steps using his clemency powers in the remaining weeks of his presidency. Some advocates say he could do a lot more.
