The end of the year is always a time to take stock of what we learned, and think about the future. This week on our live show, David Dayen brought on five staff members—staff writer Whitney Wimbish, writing fellows Emma Janssen and James Baratta, senior editor Ryan Cooper, and editor at large Harold Meyerson—to discuss 2025 in review: the Trump regime’s rise and fall, the powerful pushback from ordinary citizens stopping ICE abductions, the massive economic bet made on AI, the incredible run electing Zohran Mamdani in New York City, and much more. They also look forward to reporting in the new year on the things that matter most to them.
This is our last edition of the Prospect Weekly Roundup. We did this experiment for two years and had some great conversations. We have some great ideas for video projects in the new year, so stay tuned for that. Join us by subscribing to our YouTube channel today!
