President Joe Biden's first year as president is quickly coming to a close, and things certainly didn't go as the Democrats would have liked.

Jeff Waldorf, the host of Around The Nation on YouTube, will give us the details.
And Farron will explain the problems that are already surfacing with Donald Trump's new social media company.
