23.12.2024 โ‡ข The Death of Death Row
โŒจBiden commuted 37 of 40 federal death row sentences to life imprisonment, explicitly to prevent Trump from resuming executions in his next term. Only the Boston Marathon bomber and two mass shooters were excluded. Conservative media emphasized the crimes of those whose sentences were commuted, while liberal outlets framed it as a humanitarian milestone.

The House Ethics Committee released its investigation of Matt Gaetz, detailing evidence of payments for sex, including with a minor, and drug use while in Congress. Gaetz attempted to block the report's release through legal measures.

A subway murder in New York gained prominence as details emerged about the suspect's immigration status. Conservative outlets emphasized his previous deportation under Trump, while other sources focused on the investigation details.

Trump continued positioning for 2025, suggesting control over both the Panama Canal and Greenland, prompting diplomatic responses from Panama's president.
