A decade ago, Derek Lee was sentenced to life in prison without parole. In an appeal, he argued that it is cruel to automatically condemn someone to die in prison for a killing they didn’t commit. Pennsylvania’s supreme court last month ruled in his favor.

There are reasons for writing or coding on one’s own.

Working families are under so much economic pressure, and we need to be offering solutions that hold down the prices of electricity. Instead, this administration is spending taxpayer dollars blocking new energy projects that would lower costs for Americans.
