BREAKING: President Joe Biden announced he is commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row, converting their punishments to life imprisonment mere weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. https://t.co/6aoz0MJtsw
BREAKING: President Biden makes history by announcing that he will commute the sentences of nearly 1,500 non-violent offenders in the biggest single-day act of clemency in American history.
And it gets even better...
In addition to the commutations, Biden will pardon 39 other non-violent offenders including a military veteran who volunteers at a church and a nurse who helps with natural disaster responses.
"America was built on the promise of possibility and second chances," said Biden.
He explained that many of these individuals would receive much lighter sentences if they were convicted under today's laws and policies.
"As president, I have the great privilege of extending mercy to people who have demonstrated remorse and rehabilitation, restoring opportunity for Americans to participate in daily life and contribute to their communities, and taking steps to remove sentencing disparities for non-violent offenders, especially those convicted of drug offenses," the president added.
The 1,500 non-violent offenders have all been placed on home confinement for at least a year and according to the White House they have demonstrated "successful rehabilitation and a strong commitment to making their communities safer."
"The President has issued more sentence commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms," the White House stated.

I pray to God that the president-elect throws away Project 2025. I think it would be an economic disaster.
I believe the only way for a president to lead America is to lead all of America.

BREAKING: President Biden racks up one of his biggest victories to date as three Americans who were detained in China are released in a historic prisoner swap as a result of "years of work."
This is truly incredible and it gets even better...
"We are pleased to announce the release of Mark Swidan, Kai Li, and John Leung from detention in the People’s Republic of China," said a U.S. National Security Council spokesperson. "Soon they will return and be reunited with their families for the first time in many years."
Thanks to China's extreme laws, Swidan had been sentenced to death in 2019 after being detained in 2012 on drug-related charges. Kai Li and John Leung were both arrested on espionage charges, which makes their release all the more astonishing.
Thanks to Biden, there are now no more American prisoners in China and the travel advisory to that country has been lowered to Level 2, meaning travelers should exercise caution.
