House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a press release on Wednesday calling for President Joe Biden to issue additional pardons.The request follows Biden's heavily criticized decision to grant an extensive pardon to his son Hunter. Despite previous and repeated pledges to refrain from such action, Biden this week pardoned Hunter for any offenses he may have committed over the span of a decade.'Liberty and justice for all.'Amid the ongoing bipartisan backlash, Jeffries made a unique request: Grant more pardons.Jeffries wrote, "Throughout his life, President Joe Biden has fought to improve the plight of hardworking Americans struggling to live paycheck to paycheck. Many of these people have been aggressively prosecuted and harshly sentenced for nonviolent offenses, often without the benefit of adequate legal representation.""Countless lives, families and communities have been adversely impacted, particularly in parts of Appalachia, Urban America and the Heartland," he continued."During his final weeks in office, President Biden should exercise the high level of compassion he has consistently demonstrated throughout his life, including toward his son, and pardon on a case-by-case basis the working-class Americans in the federal prison system whose lives have been ruined by unjustly aggressive prosecutions for nonviolent offenses," Jeffries stated.He argued that such an action by the president would uphold "liberty and justice for all."Blaze News contacted Jeffries' office for comment, specifically inquiring whether he would support Biden extending pardons to Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. A spokesperson for Jeffries responded, "The leader's statement speaks for itself."Both men were targeted under the current administration's costly and relentless lawfare and were not accused of committing any violent crimes.Navarro spent approximately four months in federal detention after he was convicted on two counts of contempt of Congress. On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump tapped Navarro to serve as his senior counselor for trade and manufacturing.Trump stated in his announcement that Navarro "was treated horribly by the Deep State."Bannon was previously convicted on the same charges and released from federal prison in late October after serving a four-month sentence.He stated upon his release, "The four months in federal prison, not only didn't break me, it empowered me. I am more energized and more focused than I've ever been in my entire life."Bannon is also facing a separate case in New York for allegedly defrauding donors in a fundraising campaign. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of money laundering in the second degree, one count of conspiracy in the fourth degree, scheme to defraud in the first degree, and conspiracy in the fifth degree.Like Blaze News?

The true joy in all the best ARPGs is that moment when something in your build clicks - whether it's a new item, upgrade, or skill synergy - and you start absolutely blasting through the opposing hordes at a greatly increased rate. But across even the most popular games like Diablo 4 and Path of Exile, the start of every run is typically the slowest, as you plod your way through early waves of enemies using underwhelming gear and unleveled abilities. Conquest Dark is here to change that, blending that character progression with the rapid acceleration of horde survival games like Vampire Survivors, and you can try it right now.

The Strength Plus app isn’t Peloton’s first attempt at capitalizing on strength training. | Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Peloton announced the launch of Strength Plus, a new standalone, audio-based strength training app. The app was introduced in a limited beta program earlier in September, but is now officially available. The Strength Plus app allows users to generate custom workouts by choosing workout length, equipment, experience level, and which muscle groups they want to focus on. It also includes multi-week programs curated by Peloton’s strength coaches, though workouts can be done at a user’s own pace. Strength Plus includes audio cues and tips from instructors, as well as a library of instructional videos demonstrating exercises and equipment setup. It’s more like a strength training playlist than Peloton’s typical classes, which have you follow an instructor as they do the workout in real time. It works with the Apple Watch and users can log weights and reps within the app. And, instead of being stuck with instructor-curated workout music, users can listen to their own music, audio books, or podcasts. This move isn’t surprising. Over the years, Peloton has repeatedly mentioned that strength training is its second most popular exercise type, though the company has had mixed success in capitalizing on it. In 2022, Peloton launched its own Guide strength training hardware, but it hasn’t taken off like its treadmills or bikes. When it revamped the Peloton app, it also added Peloton Gym workouts that catered to gym-goers with written workouts and video demos, though that wasn’t its own app, didn’t let you log reps, and didn’t include multi-week programming. Image: Peloton Peloton really wants to make strength training work. On paper, Strength Plus looks similar to other apps, most notably Ladder. (So much so, that Ladder has already clapped back with an entire Mac vs PC-style ad campaign.) The main difference is that Strength Plus leverages Peloton’s more widely known instructors. More broadly, this could be seen as an attempt to expand Peloton’s appeal outside the home — something the company has struggled to do after many people began returning to in-person gyms and classes once covid-19 lockdowns were lifted. Existing Peloton All Access, Guide, and App Plus members can access the Strength Plus app for free. For everyone else, Peloton is offering a limited $1 monthly promotional subscription for the first six months, and then $9.99 monthly after. For now, the app will also be iOS only. The Verge asked Peloton whether it plans to expand further to Android, but didn’t immediately receive a response.
