Too good not to share from the @PsakiBriefing team

Yikes. An embarrassing moment for Sen. Dan Sullivan.

Sullivan falsely accuses Mary Peltola of getting debate questions beforehand because she is doing a better job than him.

Peltola then drops the hammer: “I’m prepared!”

Well that briefing was basically an SNL skit…except it wasnt…will have a lot more to say at 9pm

Can not wait to talk with @amyklobuchar tonight about what was going through her head during this absolutely bananas moment today

Behind the scenes last night 👀

This is a stunning ad from Maria Elvira Salazar, a south Florida House Republican.

“Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far. In July, 50% of the 50,000 people that were detained had no criminal record. Be careful what your advisers are ration policy.

“The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today. You can be for immigration what Lincoln was for slavery and Reagan was for communism. I'm not talking about giving them amnesty. I'm talking about giving them a dignified life in this promised land.”

The question list is now open for tomorrow's live Q&A with Jen:

We took Donald Trump's advice to "go look at the clips" that could help drive turnout for the coming midterm elections. He's right, there are a lot of them...

Guess who Trump is trying to steal credit from with his crime reduction claims

.@Rob_Flaherty and @JesseLehrich react to criticism of Jon Ossoff's invocation of Natalie Harp.

LEHRICH: "Before Donald Trump, no woman had even had the title of human printer!"

"However, new Center for American Progress analysis finds no evidence that National Guard deployments have reduced violent crime. Moreover, if these deployments are extended and continue through the end of 2026, they could cost American taxpayers more than $1.7 billion."

"Nearly six months after the U.S. Navy evacuated 1,300 family members from Bahrain at the start of the Iran war, officials are saying the evacuees cannot return for the foreseeable future and should find new homes elsewhere."
