    These actions represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.

    Good on you for this, Biden!

      Does this list include the judge who took bribes to send kids to prison? Or the guy who stole millions of taxpayer dollars?

    This is a presidential action worth celebrating and defending. Great work! More please!

    He is also the first President ever to issue categorical pardons to individuals convicted of simple use and possession of marijuana, and to former LGBTQI+ service members convicted of private conduct because of their sexual orientation.

    Excellent!
