Anyone who followed the so-called “influencer election” knows that political live streams have become a significant cultural force. Now, thanks to Streams Charts, we know just how big it is. The data provider that covers platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Kick has reported that viewership on political streams has gone up 56% year-over-year, with the 2024 U.S. presidential election serving as a major catalyst.

That data point comes from Streams Charts’ Politics in Livestreaming report, which includes viewership numbers from 2022 through 2025 (so far). During the first quarter of 2024, political streams raked in about 2.61 billion hours of watch time across all the platforms Streams Charts measures. By Q1 2025, that figure had gone up to 3.4 billion hours of watch time, which actually represented a slight decrease over the previous quarter.

Sarah Sherman opened the first “Saturday Night Live” episode of 2025 by portraying political commentator Rachel Maddow. In the sketch, Maddow hosted an MSNBC panel, which included Marcello Hernandez as Ari Melber, Ego Nwodim as Joy Reed, Heidi Gardner as Stephanie Ruhle and Andrew Dismukes as Chris Hayes.

The panelist began discussing the forthcoming inauguration, the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and the TikTok ban.

“Hello, and welcome to MSNBC. I am Rachel Meadow and Dads, you better hide your older bookish lesbian daughters because yeah, I’m back on TV tonight for our special inauguration weekend coverage,” Sherman says.

Before the panelists could even get into the topics of the day. Sherman interrupts them saying, “We have some breaking news. Trump has apparently just told reporters that he would like to quote Trade Connecticut.”

She goes on to add, “Sorry, Ari, we’re getting breaking news that Trump just told...

Matt Gaetz — left without a job after resigning from Congress to pursue a U.S. Attorney General position that would not be his — will resurface at Oan (One America News Network), it was announced on Tuesday morning.

According to Politico, Oan’s press release about Gaetz’s hire touts him as both a “powerhouse” and a “mega Maga investment” for the cable newser. His eponymous, hourlong talk show will air weeknights at 9/8c, premiere date Tba; he will also co-host a video podcast with Dan Ball, host of Real America With Dan Ball.

Stephen Colbert got in the Thanksgiving mood as he thanked “Sweet Turkey Jesus” on Thursday’s (November 21) episode of The Late Show after the news broke that Matt Gaetz had withdrawn as Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general. “We have something to be thankful for because this afternoon, Matt Gaetz withdrew as Trump’s nominee for attorney general,” Colbert said in his opening monologue as the studio audience cheered. “Oh, my goodness, isn’t that pleasant? That’s so nice. Thank you, Sweet Turkey Jesus! Gobble bless you.” Trump announced he would nominate the former U.S. representative for Florida to serve as attorney general on November 13. This led to immediate backlash, including from some Senate Republicans, as Gaetz had previously been accused of child sex trafficking and statutory rape. “As as you know, Gaetz’s nomination has been opposed by many Republican senators, especially after two women claimed Gaetz paid them for sex,...

Republicans are selecting their next Senate majority leader on Wednesday, to take power from the increasingly decrepit Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Will the next GOP leader be a thorn in Trump’s side, as the old-school corporate conservative McConnell occasionally was, or a Maga fixer, greasing the skids to ram controversial appointees and legislation through the Senate?

The election will offer an early glimpse into official Washington’s view of Trump’s return to power. The ballot is also secret — providing a buffer of anonymity that may embolden the Senate...

With the presidential election just a day away, The View is turning its attention to the political landscape.

Fox said late Sunday night that it is developing a drama series tentatively titled Billionaire Apocalypse that hails from The Morning Show creator Jay Carson and counts Hugh Jackman among its executive producers.

The drama, from Fox Entertainment Studios for the Fox network, is written and executive produced by Carson, creator and writer of Apple+’s Emmy-nominated Morning Show. Also serving as exec producers are Lawrence Bender (Flesh and Bone, Pulp Fiction) and Kevin Brown (Flesh and Bone, Trumbo).

The logline for the drama: “The richest man on the planet, 200 of his employees, and his family are forced to flee to his private island in the wake of a global financial collapse, where the employees and family members — who he’s treated as afterthoughts for decades — quickly realize he’s no longer rich and thus no longer in charge.”

The project, which has received a script commitment, is being distributed worldwide by Fox Entertainment Global.

Disney (ESPN+), Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery recently announced the name and pricing for their joint sports streaming offering, Venu Sports. This has prompted Fubo to file an antitrust lawsuit that is currently being heard in court. Now, three bipartisan politicians are urging the Department of Justice (DoJ) to investigate.

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusets), U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), and U.S. Representative Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) have sent a letter to the DOJ asking them to investigate and possibly prevent the new Venu Sports streaming service arguing that the service would violate antitrust and telecommunications laws.

They argue that the joint venture will control most sports access, does not offer competitors the same bundling opportunities, and, therefore, is unfair.

Olivia Nuzzi is best known for her work with the written word, but she’s going to try her hand at on-screen chatter.

Nuzzi, the Washington correspondent for New York magazine, will lead “Working Capital,” a six-episode interview series that focuses on candid exchanges with political and business leaders. The series debuts Wednesday, July 17 at 8 p.m. eastern and will subsequently stream Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Bloomberg Originals platforms and air on Bloomberg Television Wednesdays at 6 p.m.

“I am interested in how political power works and what it feels like to wield it,” said Nuzzi, in a prepared statement. “Through these interviews, I hoped to go deeper than the political media usually has the time or ability to in order to truly understand the people who make decisions that impact our world.”

The new series will feature interviews with New York City Mayor Eric Adams; New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu; U.

Dr. Martin Luther King gave his famous “I have a dream” speech at the landmark 1963 March on Washington, but that momentous event was organized, and even was conceived, by another Civil Rights figure who is far less well-known: Bayard Rustin. The reason why you may not know Bayard Rustin is that in addition to being a fiery Civil Right organizer he was also a gay Black man, in an earlier homophobic time when even hinting someone was gay could unleashed a firestorm that might end a career, or a movement, or even led to arrest.

Although Rustin was powerhouse in the fight for Black rights but he was rarely in the media spotlight,...

Elon Musk has offered his Starlink advanced satellite system to support internationally recognized aid organizations working in Gaza, following a communications outage as Israel steps up its military campaign in the territory.

Palestinian telecommunications company Paltel announced on Friday night that all landline, mobile and internet had been lost on the Gaza Strip after the Israeli bombing destroyed remaining fiber routes serving the territory.

The Israeli military action is in response to horrific terror attacks carried out by Palestinian extreme militant group Hamas in Southern Israel on October 7, which killed 1,400 people and resulted in more than 220 people being taken hostage.

Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Saturday that the military operation in Gaza Strip had entered a “new phase.”

Aid organizations, emergency services and media outlets operating on the Gaza Strip said the communications outage was severely hampering their work.

This post contains spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Since its very first episode, Star Trek: Lower Decks has excavated the most embarrassing parts of Star Trek lore, refusing to let even tangential parts of the franchise go forgotten. The Next Generation‘s second-worst enemy race the Pakleds became major antagonists in Lower Decks, and Boimler showed unironic appreciation for a Tom Paris commemorative plate. Heck, even the Space Fun Helmet made a brief appearance.

So it’s no surprise that Lower Decks would eventually get around to one of the great debates in Star Trek history: how do you solve a problem like Tuvix? Directed by Cliff Bole, the Voyager season two episode “Tuvix” used that old Trek standby, a transporter accident, to pose a knotty moral quandary. When an exotic plant disrupts the transporter beam carrying Vulcan security chief Tuvok and Talaxian guide/cook Neelix, the two combine into one being,...

Pat Robertson, a religious broadcaster who turned a tiny Virginia station into the global Christian Broadcasting Network, tried a run for president and helped make religion central to Republican Party politics in America through his Christian Coalition, has died. He was 93.

Robertson’s death Thursday was confirmed in an email by his broadcasting network. No cause was given.

Robertson’s enterprises also included Regent University, an evangelical Christian school in Virginia Beach; the American Center for Law and Justice, which defends the First Amendment rights of religious people; and Operation Blessing, an international humanitarian organization.

For more than a half-century, Robertson was a familiar presence in American living rooms, known for his “700 Club” television show, and in later years, his televised pronouncements of God’s judgment, blaming natural disasters on everything from homosexuality to the teaching of evolution.

The money poured in as he solicited donations, his influence soared, and...

Chicago – This past January, U.S. Congress California Representative Katie Porter announced her intention to run for the U.S. Senate. The populist for the people, who famously takes down unprepared corporate overlords with her profound financial knowledge (symbolically often illustrated with a white board), also appeared at the Spring Chicago Humanities Festival on April 29th for her book “I Swear: Politics is Messier Than My Minivan.” Photographer Joe Arce of HollywoodChicago.com took these Exclusive Portraits.

Rep. Katie Porter, Chicago Humanities Festival, April 29th, 2023

Rep. Porter was born in Iowa, and attended Yale University undergrad and Harvard Law School, where she studied under future Senator Elizabeth Warren. Ten years later, in 2011, she was a tenured professor at University of California Irvine Law School. One year later, she was appointed by California Attorney General Kamala Harris to become the state’s independent monitor of banks.

Even though Ego Nwodim joined “Saturday Night Live” in 2018, in many ways, this current 2022-23 season is her breakthrough year. In fact, I’d go so far as to say she deserves her first-ever Emmy nomination for Best Comedy Supporting Actress. And it’s all thanks to steak.

The sketch in question, “Lisa from Temecula,” aired February 4 with first-time host Pedro Pascal. Nwodim plays the titular woman who shocks her sister’s friends at dinner with her obsession over “extra, extra well-done” steak. “I’m about to tear this thing up,” Lisa declares when she starts cutting into the blackened piece of meat. Soon the entire table is shaking under the force of her knife and fork, and the cast members all completely break character, “Debbie Downer”-style. Watch the sketch below.

At long last, our national comedy nightmare is over.

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the United States was, understandably, on edge. The sudden, terrible scenes of destruction and death rocked the country and made us all realize that no matter what we want to tell ourselves, we are not safe. Of course, that was always true — life is random and often quite cruel. But the attacks opened our eyes in ways we didn't expect, and had us looking over our shoulders for more terrorist boogeymen.

And almost immediately after 9/11, starting on September 18, 2001, a new catalyst for fear arrived. Someone, somewhere, began mailing letters containing anthrax. Targets included several news organizations as well as Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy. Ultimately, five people died and 17 others were infected. With this all starting just a week after the 9/11 attacks, it was a good bet that they were related — that the people who planned 9/11 had moved on to a new form of terrorism.

After exploring the Watergate scandal, the impeachment of Bill Clinton, and more, the podcast Slow Burn will offer a beat-by-beat accounting of the years leading up to the Iraq War when it returns for its fifth season, April 21st.

Reporter Noreen Malone helmed this investigation, which will examine how the Iraq War — now widely considered a disaster — was launched with tremendous support. The new trailer highlights interviews with people who remain staunch defenders of the invasion, as well as those who voiced early objections but didn’t get very far with them.

National Geographic has cast the two leads for season two of its anthology series The Hot Zone.

Tony Goldwyn and Daniel Dae Kim will star in The Hot Zone: Anthrax, which chronicles the 2001 anthrax attacks. In the weeks after 9/11, major media outlets and two U.S. senators, Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy, were mailed envelopes containing spores of the deadly bacteria. Five people died and 17 others were hospitalized as a result of the attacks.

Just the other day, in one of President Donald Trump’s daily briefings on the coronavirus, ABC News’ chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl tried to get clarity on an important point: Will everyone who needs a ventilator be able to get one?

“Look, don’t be a cutie pie,” Trump said to Karl, before insisting that the administration’s response to the pandemic has been unprecedented.

Karl called it the “strangest moment I have ever experienced at a presidential news conference” — as well as a “question that still needs to be answered.”

The frequent sparring with the media, the attacks on individual reporters, the boasting about ratings should not even be all that surprising coming from Trump. They are part and parcel of his presidency. But given the gravity of the pandemic, they are still jarring to watch at the daily briefings. Stretching sometimes to two hours, they are...

Later this month, Hillary Clinton will host a fundraiser in Tobey Maguire’s house, the day after Barack Obama does the same at Tyler Perry’s La gaff. When did the movies and politics start cohabiting?

The ad was called, simply, “Celeb.” Just 30 seconds long, it opened by placing in montage an image of Barack Obama, just weeks from accepting the Democratic nomination for president, alongside Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, before launching into a criticism of his tax and energy policies. In the early days of August 2008, when it looked as if nothing could stop Obama’s ascension to the presidency, the ad resonated deeply with voters. And when Obama suffered a subsequent dip in the polls, many pundits, including Obama’s mentor and campaign adviser Tom Daschle, attributed it to “Celeb”.

Why was this ad so successful? In essence, it identified a lingering fear among all but Obama...

We may never know how many Netflix viewers tune in for House of Cards, but BuzzFeed reports that in the past two weeks, the show has developed quite the following among staffers and journalists on Capitol Hill. They're particularly impressed with the show's accuracy, which showrunner Beau Willimon attributes to "a crapload of research." During trips to D.C., the show's production designer, Donald Burt, obsessively photographed the Capitol, down to the sprinkler units, and writers and producers met with a variety of staffers, journalists, and lawmakers, including Senator Chuck Schumer. Kevin Spacey also sat down with Kevin McCarthy, the real House majority whip, who invited him to a closed-door House Republican conference meeting, as well as House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer. "Politics is done so poorly so often, and we were dead-set to get it right," explains Jay Carson, a former press secretary to Tom Daschle who serves as...

In 2004, Matthew Segal, a student at Ohio's Kenyon College, was frustrated when he saw his peers trying to cast their ballots, and being turned away or forced to wait on long lines. Matt became a youth vote activist, eventually founding his own organization, Save (the Student Association for Voter Empowerment). He became one of the youngest regular visitors to Capitol Hill offices, lobbying on behalf of his generation. Matt ushered several pieces of election reform legislation through Congress, and testified before Congressional committees several times. In July 2009, Matt and Save co-convened the 80 Million Strong for Young American Jobs summit, bringing together a dedicated group of young people together in Washington with political leaders including then House Majority leader Steny Hoyer and Former Senator Tom Daschle, to take action to improve the economic reality for young people. Now, at age 25, Matt has transformed Save into Our Time, with the goal of...

Does the president really suffer from what House Speaker John Boehner calls a "spending illness" ? Not according to an exclusive Newsweek-Daily Beast estimate of his outlays on new legislation since taking office.

Nothing unites Republicans quite like the unshakable belief that Barack Obama has become the Carrie Bradshaw of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, unable to stop himself from frittering away ridiculous sums of money on frivolous things. But what Republicans never mention when railing against Obama's alleged fiscal recklessness is how much money he has spent, and what exactly he's spent it on.

Obama has slashed one tax dollar for every dollar he's spent on government programs.

To rectify the situation, Newsweek and The Daily Beast have come up with an exclusive estimate of the amount the president has spent on new legislation since taking office in January 2009. This...
