"I come from outside of Youngstown, Ohio, old industrial town," he began. "Springfield has had hard times. They're trying to repopulate, they're trying to rebuild, the business owners want these workers. There is no problems."

"They're trying to assimilate? Yes," he pointed out. "Do they need help with health care and housing? Yes, there are some issues but a net positive and the people love the Haitian immigrants who came. I think this is an indicator, Willie [Geist], of just how crass Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are. They don't give a damn about who they use, which bodies they step over in the process to gain power. And I think it's sickening that they would use these immigrants."

"All they want to do is scare people. They want to scare us about immigrants, they want to scare everybody about the liberals trying to get you, the transgender people are coming to get you, World War III is going to happen. The economy is going to collapse, it's so fear-based," he accused. "I think they're two scared little boys that want everybody else to be scared with them. and what they're doing is — how hard is it going to be. I spent 20 years in Congress. Joe, you remember this: so much of your job is economic development."

"Can you imagine a sitting senator in your state actually destroying the well-being of a community for your own political purposes," he asked. "Your job is to represent these people. Your job is to stick up for these communities and you're destroying them and it's sickening to watch this happen."

U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is under fire this week for suggesting that critics of federal judges, including justices on the nation's top court, should be thrown in jail.

During a Monday night campaign rally in Pennsylvania, the former president continued his trend of bragging about appointing three of the U.S. Supreme Court justices who ended nationwide abortion rights by overturning Roe v. Wade. He also praised the "brilliant" right-wingers for having the "courage" to issue the June 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision.

CNN's Kate Bedingfield was creeped out by Donald Trump's obtrusive attempt to win over skeptical women voters, and the former White House communications director questioned who the message was actually intended to reach.

The former president told women at a Pennsylvania event that he was "your protector" and promised to make them "safe" from illegal immigrants, crime and "foreign enemies," and he promised that they would no longer need to worry about many of the issues that define this year's election.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance suggested special counsel Jack Smith's 180-page filing earlier this week likely contains "juicy tidbits" related Donald Trump's attempt to subvert the 2020 presidential election that won't be revealed until the case goes to trial.

Speaking with host Willie Geist and MSNBC regular Mike Barnicle, Vance was asked about the massive submission to Judge Tanya Chutkan that required special permission from the judge, which the former prosecutor claimed will end up with huge redactions when first made available to the public.

"I think what will happen here, what Jack Smith has indicated to the court in his motion to exceed the page limit last week, is that he'll try to keep the sensitive information in this brief under seal," Vance began. "And that should be one occasion, in this case, where Donald Trump doesn't fight the special counsel."

"Everyone will want that protective order to stay in place," she predicted. "So, what we'll see, this will take us back to the [Robert] Mueller era where we saw large filings with large blocks of big black stripes on the pages concealing the pages what you most wanted to read. I think that is what we'll see here — there may be some information that's deemed nonsensitive."

"But in terms of what's coming out in the public's eye that will certainly happen at trial. It may happen earlier as there's briefing about issues," she continued. "Trump may move to dismiss the charges against him. But we can expect, at least for the moment, that most of the juicy tidbits, for instance whether Jack Smith has picked up any cooperating witnesses, will likely remain under seal."

Longtime conservative and staunch Donald Trump critic, Charlie Sykes, on Tuesday predicted that one of the promises the former president has failed to keep, is one Sykes believes the MAGA hopeful will keep if he wins in November.

"Could we just freeze the moment and look at what Donald Trump is saying that he's going to do? What he is explicitly running on, the lies he's willing to tell," Sykes said, speaking with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace.

Nebraska State Senator Mike McDonnell — a former Democrat who switched to the Republican Party earlier this year — is defending his Monday, September 23 decision to vote against a state election law change, upsetting Donald Trump and his allies.

The Republican-proposed law was a "last-ditch effort to overturn a 30-year law that awards electoral votes by congressional district rather than statewide winner-take-all," according to CNN.

The Republican mayor of Aurora, Colorado, pushed back Tuesday night against the "false" narrative pushed by former President Donald Trump that the Denver suburb has been taken over by Venezuelan gangs.

CNN anchor Erin Burnett played a clip of Sen. J.D. Vance attacking "childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices they've made" during an interview with Tucker Carlson, followed by former President Donald Trump's declaration, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" after the artist endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and attached a photo of herself with her cat.

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer fact-checked a former Republican strategist and frequent commentator during a discussion over the filibuster.

The filibuster allows a minority of senators to block or delay legislation, even if it has majority support. The mechanism has drawn criticism from those who see it as a hindrance to passing important legislation.

Long-time Republican pollster and strategist Sarah Longwell called out stunning language in former President Donald Trump's recent speech in Pennsylvania, where he told women he was their "protector."

The comment came after Trump's running-mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), drove away female voters with his "cat ladies" comment and suggested grandmothers become free babysitters during retirement.
