As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, a lot of ink has already been — and will continue to be — spilled urging Biden to do more than pardon a turkey and commute the sentences of everyone on federal death row. And on Nov. 20, 60 members of Congress joined in that call. Biden should indeed do so, although that act would save only 40 lives.

President Joe Biden will pardon Peach and Blossom, both turkeys from Minnesota, as part of a pre-Thanksgiving tradition before he leaves office in January.
