Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) lit into Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett on Tuesday after Hassett suggested that consumer pain from the Iran war was "really the last of our concerns" — a comment that appalled MS NOW.

The broadside came during an appearance on "The Weeknight," where anchor Alicia Menendez played a clip of Hassett dismissing the economic impact of a prolonged Iran conflict during a CNBC appearance earlier in the day.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board warned President Donald Trump on Tuesday that his new favorite piece of legislation may not be enough to save the GOP from staggering losses during the upcoming midterms.

Trump has lobbied Republicans in Congress to pass the SAVE Act, a bill that he has said would ensure Republicans win "every election for the next 50 years." The bill that passed the House of Representatives had two main aims: to create a national voter ID law and to require proof of citizenship to vote. The Senate version expanded the bill's scope to include a provision restricting mail-in ballots, which the editorial board argued could be disastrous for the GOP.

House Speaker Mike Johnson was caught completely flat-footed Tuesday when a reporter pressed him on the one thing his party's signature voting bill is supposedly designed to prevent: actual voter fraud.

Johnson (R-LA) shrugged off a reporter's question to provide examples of voter fraud in any previous election in any state that Trump's SAVE Act would have stopped.

A historian argued on Tuesday that President Donald Trump appears to be "flying by the seat of his pants" in Iran, and that has created an "intractable problem" for the country.

The Iranian regime has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz to U.S. and Israeli ships in retaliation for the two countries conducting a coordinated bombing campaign in Iran since late February. The roughly 100-mile waterway accounts for 20% of global energy trade, and its closure has caused significant fluctuations in U.S. energy prices.

The Republican Party is tearing itself apart over the ongoing Iran conflict, with heavy-hitting conservative voices locked in a brutal battle that one insider warns could reshape the GOP forever.

Megyn Kelly and Mark Levin, two of the right's most influential media figures, have devolved into name-calling, with Kelly accusing war supporters of being "Israel firsters" and Levin firing back by calling her an "emotionally unhinged, lewd and petulant wreck." The gloves-off feud signals a deeper fracture within the MAGA movement over America's three-week-old military action alongside Israel, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

President Donald Trump just got a "quiet but unmistakable" message from U.S. allies over his troubles in Iran.

Trump has called on U.S. allies to help clear the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran effectively shut off to American and Israeli ships in retaliation for the bombing strikes the two countries have carried out since late February. The Strait accounts for 20% of global oil trade, and the blockade is part of the reason why energy prices in the U.S. have reached levels not seen since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"CBS Evening News" crashed back below the dreaded 4 million viewer threshold following its MAGA-friendly makeover, a red line that previously triggered major shake-ups at the network, Variety reported Tuesday.

For the week ending March 13, the program drew just 3.83 million viewers, with a measly 468,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 demographic, according to Nielsen data. The stark freefall comes after anchor Tony Dokoupil's start in January, when he debuted with 4.17 million viewers. Shortly thereafter, he brought in 4.6 million.

A CNN legal expert was floored on Tuesday while discussing how President Donald Trump's pardon of the Jan. 6 rioters could impact an ongoing, high-profile case.

Lawyers for Brian J. Cole Jr., who has been accused of placing pipe bombs outside of the Republican and Democratic national committees in Washington, D.C., ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection, recently argued in court that Trump's sweeping pardon for the rioters should also apply to Cole, Fox News reported. They argued that Cole is "inextricably" tied to the events contemplated in the pardon.

The late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's "sprawling web" continues to ensnare the MAGA movement.

The Daily Beast reported on Tuesday that two of the MAGA movement's heavyweights, Roger Stone and Steve Bannon, are at each other's throats over who will lord over the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas, on March 25. Stone recently launched a bid to keep Bannon away from the event by running ad campaigns tying Bannon to the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to the report.

A federal judge dealt another major blow to the Trump administration's effort to dismantle Voice of America, ordering more than 1,000 employees back to work after a year on paid leave, according to a new report.

U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ruled Tuesday that the near-total shutdown of the U.S. Agency for Global Media was unlawful and violated federal administrative law, The Washington Post reported. The Reagan appointee ordered employees to return by March 23 and demanded the agency resume international broadcasting, which has largely gone silent over the past year.

Just six months before the Trump administration launched military strikes on Iran, the State Department axed its entire oil and gas crisis team, leaving the nation scrambling as global energy markets teeter on the brink of chaos, according to a new report.

The war in Iran is now in its third week, and the critical Strait of Hormuz, which usually channels about a fifth of the world's oil supply, sits locked down tight. The Trump administration is flying blind, without the experts who once managed such catastrophes, former State Department employees told Notus.

Political analysts and observers bristled on Tuesday at the White House's latest concessions in its bid to reopen the Department of Homeland Security.

President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, and James Braid, director of the Office of Legal Affairs, wrote a letter to Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Katie Britt (R-AL) updating them on the latest negotiations with Democrats on Capitol Hill. The two parties have been negotiating funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which was shut down on Feb. 13 when Democrats refused to support an appropriations bill.
