The J6 committee just released a transcript of the testimony of former White House Director of Strategic Communications Alyssa Farah Griffin. Her testimony shows that Jared Kushner refused to allow for a smooth, safe, informed transition to the Biden administration of the government's COVID efforts. This revelation builds upon the already substantial evidence that Donald Trump and Jared Kushner have criminal responsibility for avoidable COVID deaths.
This video does a deep dive into the law of involuntary manslaughter and discusses how the available evidence supports all three elements of that crime and why prosecutors should present evidence to a grand jury and seek an indictment of Trump and Kushner for causing avoidable COVID deaths. - Glenn Kirschner - 12/30/2022.

“Every single day that this guy continues to remain in office once he’s sworn in, it does damage to the Republican Party,” says former California GOP Chairman Ron Nehring on George Santos. “It’s really astonishing that anybody would say we need to let the investigations play out for a while before we decide what to do. I’ve seen enough. He needs to go.” - Aired on 12/30/2022.

It has been, as they say, a year. While some undoubtedly good things happened in 2022, we’re still paying for the sins of systemic racism, plutocracy and Trumpism. (And of course, all three of those things often roll into one big toxic ball.)
Along the way we fight over the social media toys of a multi-billionaire and struggle to protect a democracy that is much more fragile than we used to think.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Thankfully Covid was much less of an issue in 2022, Alex Jones is getting taken to the cleaners and a ridiculous white nationalist (who accidentally shot his own eye out) lost in court.
Here’s to an even better 2023, now let’s leave all those those losers in the past once and for all. Happy New Year!
