1. You go, Jen!

I have never admired her more than I do now. Sure, she used to be a Republican, but she saw the error of that, just like Nicolle Wallace did. She took out of WaPo like a bat out of hell, and now she's taking after them like gangbusters!

3. Merrick Garlands Abject FAILURE to Promptly Prosecute trump was UNCONSCIONABLE

and YES Biden deserves some blame as well for not REMOVING Garland promptly.

4. Yes, Jen discusses this and I agree. She also holds Biden responsible because he wouldn't fire Garland.

It's not the central focus of her talk, so I didn't mention Garland in the OP.
