Moments after the Supreme Court sided with a Christian counselor on Tuesday in her challenge to a Colorado law banning attempts to change a minor’s sexual orientation or gender identity, MS NOW’s Lisa Rubin claimed Associate Justice Elena Kagan provided a road map for other states to avoid a similar fate.

In an 8-1 decision, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson providing the only dissent, the court ruled sided with Kaley Chiles and agreed Colorado’s law regulated speech, which led two of the liberal justices to concur.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) undermined MAGA host Benny Johnson's segment on an alleged Democratic sex scandal by admitting he would have slept with a Chinese Spy.

During an interview on Tuesday, Johnson sought to smear Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), a candidate for California governor, by claiming he slept with an alleged Chinese spy named Fang Fang.

President Donald Trump has sunk to historic lows in his approval rating, and CNN's Harry Enten sees "no sign" that he can turn things around.

The 79-year-old president has been underwater in approval for more than a year now, and his war in Iran has driven up fuel costs around the world and made consumer costs even higher, which has driven down his approval rating even lower.

According to Financial Times columnist Ed Luce, Donald Trump spent an inordinate amount of time during their Monday interview grasping for clues on how to bring his war on Iran to a close.

Calling into MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” Luce elaborated on more details from his chat with the embattled president who reportedly jumped from topic to topic.

After giving a rah-rah speech about the US war on Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was put on the spot by a reporter from the Daily Caller to reassure his MAGA base with rumors of a possible land invasion hanging in the air.

Toward the end of his Pentagon press conference, Hegseth was asked by conservative journalist Reagan Reese about the chokehold on oil at the Strait of Hormuz before being pressed with, “Without asking you to comment on things that you can't talk about, what is your message to Americans who love the president and strongly believe in him, but are very worried about this notion of boots on the ground?”

With the Supreme Court set to hear arguments on Wednesday about President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship guaranteed under the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause, “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough challenged far-right Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to stand up for constitutional precedent.

Speaking with California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who is challenging Trump administration efforts to strip citizenship from those born in the US, Scarborough noted that there should be no question about the clear language in the amendment which has been debated previously.

Comments made by Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the future relationship between the US and NATO that hint at a break with the peace-keeping coalition received a thorough –– and critical –– examination on MS NOW early Tuesday morning.

In an interview with Hashem Ahelbarra of Al Jazeera, the Donald Trump appointee criticized the NATO alliance for not backing the US war on Iran, and then stated, “I think it was very disappointing. You have this – and again, look, the President and our country will have to reexamine all of this after this operation is over. But one of the reasons why NATO is beneficial to the United States is it gives us basing rights for contingencies. It allows us to station troops and aircraft and weapons in parts of the world that we wouldn’t normally have bases, and that includes in much of Europe.”

President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested he was caught off guard by Iran's response to the joint U.S.-Israeli military operation, and that has placed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth under scrutiny.

Sources have said the self-styled "secretary of war" downplayed the risks of Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz and launching counterstrikes on its Middle Eastern neighbors, and CNN's Erica Hill asked her panelists on "CNN This Morning" whether Hegseth had failed in his role.

Reacting to a Politico report that group of Jan. 6 insurrectionists have filed a lawsuit in Florida against the Capitol police officers they assaulted in Donald Trump’s name, “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough went on a furious rant on Tuesday morning that concluded with a long, drawn-out obscenity.

After co-host Mika Brzezinski noted the lawsuit seeks to “represent a class of plaintiffs that includes dozens of others present that day” who stormed the hall of Congress, the outraged Scarborough exploded.

President Donald Trump has shackled Republicans with a "huge challenge" heading into the midterm election cycle, according to a former White House official.

The U.S. labor market has experienced no growth or net private-sector job creation over recent months, despite the 79-year-old president's promises during his 2024 re-election campaign, and former Trump official Marc Short told "CNN NewsNight" that one of his signature policies was at least partially to blame for the sluggish economy.

President Donald Trump's administration just crossed a "tipping point" where other authoritarian regimes have failed, according to one expert.

Over the weekend, more than eight million people participated in the nationwide "No Kings" protest, one of the largest public demonstrations in U.S. history. The total number of demonstrators who attended the protests represents about 2.5% of the nation's population, which signaled to David Rothkopf, the former editor of Foreign Policy Magazine, that the Trump administration has reached the point of no return.

MS NOW's Rachel Maddow identified a fascinating trend in this month's No Kings protests against President Donald Trump — and one that should leave the Republican Party terrified.

"There is now a 10-foot-tall golden toilet on the National Mall at the Lincoln Memorial. It says, quote, 'A throne fit for a king,'" said Maddow. "In a time of unprecedented division, escalating conflict and economic turmoil, President Donald Trump focused on what truly mattered: remodeling the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. The plaque next to the 10-foot-tall gold toilet says Trump is, quote, 'an unwavering visionary who looked down, saw a problem and painted it gold.' The gold toilet president this weekend was also the target of one of the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in American history. Organizers say more than 8 million Americans protested against President Donald Trump this weekend."

President Donald Trump shared a video on his Truth Social platform Monday that appeared to show extensive AI-generated mockups of a massive skyscraper housing his presidential library.

The video, set to soaring music, appeared to show a tower with a slight resemblance to One World Trade Center, with "TRUMP" at the top, featuring a grand lobby with Air Force One and a replica of the enormous ballroom he is planning to build onto the White House.
