MS NOW's Jen Psaki identified a key talking point of Republicans for the midterms on Tuesday evening — and zeroed in on a candidate who blows that talking point to bits.

"The stage is now set, and the national political parties are telling us exactly how they want to frame the choice in this election," said Psaki. She played clip after clip after clip of Republicans saying the new election is "common sense versus crazy," with one saying it's "a contrast between common sense conservatives and crazy communism," and another saying, "There are a bunch of crazy people; elect the common sense people to Washington."

Conservative columnist S.E. Cupp didn't hold back when she was asked about President Donald Trump's comments on 9/11 during a ceremony Tuesday.

Trump spoke at an event honoring 9/11 first responders, where he claimed that he was pulled from the rubble of the World Trade Center by rescuers. Critics immediately noted that the president's claims were fictitious, as he was miles away from the site in Trump Tower that day.

President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel are playing a "dangerous" game in their escalating war against Nevada voters, elections attorney Marc Elias said on Brian Tyler Cohen's "Democracy Watch" podcast Tuesday.

"This is a five-alarm fire," Elias told Cohen. "What we know is this: the Department of Justice has sent the Nevada Secretary of State's office seven different subpoenas concerning voters over the past three months ... there is no reason for the Department of Justice to be subpoenaing an election office in advance of an election like this. There is certainly no reason why it should be issuing multiple subpoenas."

President Donald Trump might be staking the entire midterm election on a war against "socialists," Republican strategist Marc Short said on CNN — but in terms of his love for flexing government power, he increasingly might as well be one.

Short's observation came during a discussion about the growing influence of the Democratic Socialist wing of the Democratic Party following their recent electoral victories, as well as how Trump might try to tie the rest of the party to them.

The James Talarico Senate campaign in Texas just rolled out one of its most eye-catching endorsements yet — a decorated Texas Ranger who once served as state Attorney General Ken Paxton's director of law enforcement.

The huge development, which comes as Talarico's Democratic campaign seeks to be the first to win Texas in over 30 years, was revealed in a brief political ad on Tuesday.

Right-wing broadcaster Pete Santilli interrupted his live coverage of a New York City news conference on 9/11 health records with a racist rant against the city's first Muslim mayor.

Santilli was streaming Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Tuesday morning event at City Hall on The Pete Santilli Show when he talked over the mayor's remarks.

President Donald Trump's approval rating on inflation has fallen to levels never before recorded for a sitting president, according to CNN's Harry Enten.

The 80-year-old president's net approval on inflation — the share approving minus the share disapproving — has averaged roughly 50 points underwater for months, sinking 52 points underwater in May, 48 points in June, 50 points in July, and an average of 50 points in August, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling.

President Donald Trump's homeland security secretary said 9/11 "isn't a day that I love to celebrate," three days before the 25th anniversary of the attacks that created his department.

Markwayne Mullin, who was confirmed in March to lead the Department of Homeland Security, made the comment Tuesday during an interview on Fox News.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who’s been accused by Democrats of stolen valor, revealed on Fox News Tuesday that he had been rejected by the U.S. military three times, and called the military’s decision to turn him down “crazy.”

In the past, Mullin has given vague references to the “smell” and “taste” of “war,” comments that have led some critics to accuse Mullin of misrepresenting himself as having served in the military. Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) aggressively questioned Mullin on the matter in March during a congressional hearing, asking him: “So where did you smell war, sir?”
