President Obama wrote on Medium  to announce 58 new grants of clemency and highlight the stories of former clemency recipients who have made the most of their second chances:

"As President, I've been working to bring about a more effective approach to our criminal justice system, particularly when it comes to drug crimes. Part of that effort has been to reinvigorate our commutations process, and highlight the individuals like Philip who are doing extraordinary things with their second chances. To date, I will have commuted 306 individual sentences, which is more than the previous six presidents combined."

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo at the White House 

"We couldn't have done it without you. Together, we increased high school and college graduation rates, cutting the Latino dropout rate by more than half since 2000. Together, we ensured that more than 700,000 DREAMers have the opportunity to reach their potential. Together, we continue to fight to fix our broken immigration system." -President Obama celebrating his final Cinco de Mayo at the White House
