Saying America was built on possibilities and second chances, President Biden is commuting sentences for about 1,500 people, with more likely to come. Most were released from prison during the pandemic and switched to home confinement. He also pardoned almost 40 nonviolent criminals. The President says he will be reviewing more clemency petitions in the coming weeks.

Mark Thompson is off this week but we expect him to stop by the show today to check in. We’ll ask him what he’s been up to this week.
