Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz will face off on Tuesday in their only Senate debate of the election. Why just one debate?: Fetterman only agreed to one debate after pressure from his Republican opponent. Keep in mind: Fetterman is facing questions about his health after suffering from a stroke earlier this year. Where to watch the debate?: The debate is hosted by Nexstar station WHTM in Harrisburg, Pa., and will air on NewsNation from 8-9 p.m. EDT. |

Why you're likely seeing a flood of social media posts supporting the Jewish community: |
Rapper and designer Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is facing backlash after making a series of antisemitic comments recently. Some of the controversies he has started in the past month: "West tested the boundaries of acceptable behavior even for a noted provocateur like himself. At his YZYSZN9 Paris Fashion Week show, he wore a shirt with the slogan 'White Lives Matter,' which the Anti-Defamation League has identified as hate speech and that has been adopted by the white supremacist movement. He made antisemitic remarks on social media and in interviews shortly after, including posting on Twitter that he would go "death con 3 ON JEWISH PEOPLE." More from The New York Times An example of Ye doubling down on his antisemitic remarks: In an interview on NewsNation's "Cuomo," "Ye referred to a 'Jewish underground media mafia' and complained about 'privilege' that Jewish people have in the entertainment industry and media." |

➤ REACTIONS — COMPANIES ARE DROPPING YE LIKE FLIES: |

Hollywood talent agency Creative Artists Agency cut ties with West: Ye will no longer be a client of the agency. A documentary on West, which has been completed, will not be released: Studio MRC has decided to shelve its finished documentary about Kanye West. |

The new, ~edgier,~ ~saucy~ Joe Biden: |
|
|
President Biden has been pretty guarded as president, rarely speaking off-script. But with his approval rating hovering around 41 percent, according to FiveThirtyEight, Biden is trying another, more raw, tactic. An example of Biden's new punchier side: "When a reporter asked Joe Biden last week if there should be any restrictions on abortion, the president got saucy. 'In Roe v. Wade. Read it man. You'll get educated,' Biden said before hastily walking off to board Marine One on the White House South Lawn." Another recent example: "On Friday, Biden responded abruptly to a question about former President Trump's longtime adviser, Steve Bannon, being sentenced to prison for contempt to Congress. 'I've never had a reaction to Steve Bannon,' Biden retorted." How it's playing: Biden's allies seem to like it. What this new feistiness could mean for Democrats, via The Hill's Amie Parnes and Alex Gangitano |

Housing prices are cooling off a bit: |
"U.S. home prices saw a record slowdown in August, falling by 2.6 percent as the Federal Reserve moves aggressively to raise rates — making it more costly to afford a mortgage." Details: "The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index released Tuesday shows a 13 percent annual gain in August for home prices, but a sharp 2.6 percent drop from July to August. That's the largest monthly drop on record." The full story |
