It isn’t the same singer. That is why only WorldStarHipHop and this random site are reporting it

Can you reiterate what you were trying to say then? To me, these quotes sound reductive but perhaps there’s nuance I’m overlooking:

each politician acting in their personal self-interest

both of them have thoroughly demonstrated to be their only priority

This is political theater where they’re playing with the lives of the people in question.

I’m not sure if NYT is trying to soothe our anxieties or make us complacent.

I think the level of access to the president and unscrupulous/amoral actors in the administration is unrivaled and will lead to unprecedented outcomes.

IMO it’s like predicting in January 2020 that the US would be unscathed from Covid because we have had +100 years without an extreme pandemic.

Yes, I also agree that the president that commuted many death sentences is exactly the same as the president wanting to execute all of the prisoners

Not a huge fan of Biden’s presidency, but it sounds like his commutations were based on whether society deemed them eligible for home release during covid. I’m assuming he didn’t individually look at all 1,500 other commutations. Unless I’m reading it wrong, society deemed her low risk and she has been out of prison since 2021.

Definitely sloppy tho.

I also expected better from The Guardian. This feels like it should be a sentence in a Wikipedia page not an article that introduces her to the public
