President Biden commutes 37 federal death sentences, addressing potential judicial errors.

President Biden has commuted the death sentences of 37 federal inmates, a move seen as aligning the U.S. with other democracies that have abolished capital punishment. The decision acknowledges the potential for judicial mistakes, with over 200 death row exonerations since 1973. Meanwhile, the New York Times highlights a growing teen mental health crisis, with rising anxiety and depression rates. The UJA-Federation of New York is addressing the issue by providing outreach at schools and community centers to connect young people with mental health support.
