And I would be remiss if I did not include one of my favorite videos to produce every year:

The wildest political moments of the year

You can watch a cutdown of 2025's moments below and you can watch each video I have done over the past 8 years here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

In recent weeks, the Trump administration has shifted its immigration enforcement rhetoric and tactics following the deaths of two U.S. citizens.

I examined these shifts in a video that I published yesterday.

In January, one of the first actions that the House took was voting to codify into law Trump's long-desired changes to showerheads.

I put together a video looking at the many times Trump has focused on the issue over the years.

Before taking office, Donald Trump promised to immediately turn around the U.S. economy.

But 11 months into his presidency, he was still asking for more time.

I put together a mashup.

Later in November, my colleagues and I revealed that Del. Stacey Plaskett of the U.S. Virgin Islands had texted with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 hearing with Michael Cohen.

I analyzed multiple video feeds to sync the texts with the hearing footage.

In November, it appeared that Trump had struggled to stay away during an Oval Office event.

I analyzed multiple video feeds and found that Trump had spent nearly 20 minutes struggling to keep his eyes open.

In late October, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries announced his support for Zohran Mamdani, nearly four months after he became the Democratic nominee for New York mayor.

I pulled together a mashup of the 17 weeks that Jeffries and Schumer spent refusing to endorse him.

In October, Trump and his allies floated federalizing National Guard troops.

It was something Trump and those officials opposed years before.

I dug into the archives to produce this video.

As President Trump prepared to the largest tariff increases in decades, I dug into Trump's past remarks on tariffs and found that Trump had been saying nearly the same thing about tariffs since the 1980s.

It all began with a fixation on Japan.

Last year, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified before Congress and repeatedly denied his previous statements on vaccines.

I dug into the archives and contrasted what he said previously with his testimony.

Here are some of my favorite videos that I've done over the past year:

On immunity for immigration officials:
