Bartiromo attacks Mamdani for pointing out that tourists aren't traveling to the US as much because Trump is brutalizing people: "You just heard that. He wants illegals and internationalists to come here, particularly ahead of the World Cup."

Can you imagine being a 79 yr old bully who would rather prosecute political enemies like Letitia James than release the Epstein files? He’s a walking menstrual cramp who is pettier than a pre-pubescent girl waiting for her boobs to pop. Color me not surprised.

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

First Comey and now James. He's targeting people who don't bow down to his fashy bollocks.

Both Comey and James no doubt have excellent lawyers - the bigger worry comes when he turns his attention on the layperson who cannot afford lawyers because he will that's the next step along the fash road

Gosh, if only there were a national organization that's dedicated to specifically advocating for gay Republicans and could push back within the GOP against Winsome Earle-Sears for her attacks on gay marriage and employment protections.

Wait... isn't that Log Cabin Republicans?

Trump biographer Michael Wolff says Epstein showed him Polaroids of Trump with topless teenage girls

When asked if she's seen those pics, AG Pam Bondi wouldn't say "No!"

And litigious Trump hasn't sued Wolff for defamation
