Gabbard's appointment raises concerns about US intel sharing
Gabbard's appointment raises concerns about US intel sharing

I haven't followed this that closely, I recall some here disparaged the lady for vague reasons, and other politicos have called her a "Russian asset", which seems odd to me.  So, I don't know what to think, not that it matters.

She's a surfing Hawaiian senator. Was a Democrat, may have flipped.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes. It’s the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.

The commutations announced Thursday are for people who have served out home confinement sentences for at least one year after they were released. Prisons were uniquely bad for spreading the virus and some inmates were released in part to stop the spread. At one point, 1 in 5 prisoners had COVID-19, according to a tally kept by The Associated Press.

Biden said he would be taking more steps in the weeks ahead and would continue to review clemency petitions. The second largest single-day act of clemency was by Barack Obama, with 330, shortly before leaving office in 2017.

I chuckle at the late term clemency and pardons, as if these individuals somehow didn't deserve this a year or more ago.  If they did, why wait?  If they didn't ...????
