Just two days before Christmas, Biden commuted the death sentences of 37 of 40 men on federal death row, including five child killers and several mass murderers. This, of course, was after he'd pardoned his convicted felon son, which he promised he would not do, and before he issued preemptive pardons to his family members on his last day in office. But no one is above the law.

Remember this the next time someone says you can't back the police and agree with President Donald Trump's sweeping pardon of the January 6 arrestees. Also on his last day in office, Biden commuted the sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who'd been arrested in 1975 for shooting two wounded FBI agents in the head, execution-style. Biden said that Peltier would transition to home confinement.

Peltier was released from federal prison Tuesday morning and was welcomed home by Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith, who had said it was a long time coming.

Notice the tweet doesn't mention why Peltier was imprisoned. "They never took away my spirit," though. Smith just admires his positive attitude.
