It’s important to remember the small things that brighten up your day, and for @mehdirhasan – who covered a LOT of pretty memorable moments on this show this year – three in particular stand out. WATCH:

When Russia launched its brutal invasion into Ukraine, the forecasts were bleak for Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his country. But the Ukrainians upended that narrative, much to the surprise of @juliaioffe and @lieven_anatol. Hear what they had to say to @mehdirhasan:

.@PatRyanUC tells @mehdirhasan that bipartisanship can’t coexist with an existential threat to democracy: "I took an oath…to support and defend our Constitution ... And when there are domestic threats to the sanctity of our Constitution … we have to call them out."

“We are making unionizing relevant again,” says @amazonlabor President @Shut_downAmazon. “We’re at a point where we realize being deemed as an essential worker, our value is a lot more, and we deserve a lot more.” Watch his full exchange with @mehdirhasan and @FlyingWithSara:

“I stood...with my hand over my heart every day in kindergarten and said that Pledge of Allegiance that ended with...‘With liberty and justice for all.' We have never met that promise." @FlyingWithSara tells @mehdirhasan how the Corporate Elite have lost sight of the people:
