Talking Feds follows the midterms from ballot counts to courtrooms
Harry Litman's ten-upload week spans Supreme Court retirement speculation, unsettled Senate races and the sealed Jack Smith report.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Alito Just Made a SURPRISING Move After Dems CRUSHED the GOP
The votes have consequences. For Harry Litman, the week's work on Talking Feds has been tracing them through Senate procedures, congressional maps and the prospects for a Supreme Court vacancy.
His most-watched upload examines speculation that Samuel Alito or Clarence Thomas might retire during the lame-duck session. It has approached a million views, but Litman's conclusion is considerably less dramatic than the possibility: he thinks neither justice is likely to leave. Beyond the political optics, he explains the resistance a rushed confirmation could encounter in the Senate.
That video is also drawing the channel's strongest daily viewing. Next comes his examination of the dispute over releasing Jack Smith's Volume II report, which remains blocked by Judge Aileen Cannon's standing order. That upload includes a paid partnership.
Elsewhere, the election coverage gets into the procedural details that can disappear beneath a national result. Litman discusses DOJ target letters in the Alaska Senate contest between Mary Peltola and Dan Sullivan, and the uncertainty surrounding Mississippi's close count without a Senate recount procedure. For a broader conversation, "Lost in the Flood" gathers Emily Bazelon, Jonathan Lemire and Mike Murphy to consider the results and Democrats' priorities in Congress.
Talking Feds added about 2,000 subscribers over the week. Daily views are now running at nearly three times their usual level, a sharper movement than the subscriber growth. Among nearby political-commentary channels, Dave Jorgenson and Lawyer Oyer had substantially larger weekly viewing totals, while Hysteria had a quieter week.
Litman's latest subjects extend beyond the election machinery, too: a new upload examines Gavin Newsom's commutation of California's death-row sentences.
