Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani raged against U.S. District Court Judge Lewis J. Liman Tuesday for refusing to postpone his trial so he could attend President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration in January.

Following a court hearing in Manhattan, Giuliani told reporters that Liman "ruled against us on everything."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) challenged Donald Trump's so-called "border czar," Tom Homan, for threatening to arrest anyone who stands in the way of mass deportations across the United States.

Thus far, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has made it clear that he won't cooperate with the federal government. Homan threatened to arrest him.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called for Joy Reid to be taken off the air because she claimed the MSNBC host's opposition to President-elect Donald Trump meant she supported murder.

During a Monday interview on Real America's Voice, Greene slammed Reid for warning that Trump would replace military officials with people who believe American protesters can be shot. Reid cited Trump's decision to nominate Project 2025 architect Russ Vought, who has called to deploy the military inside the country.

The U.S. is about to pay dearly for Donald Trump's incoming tariff regime, former Republican strategist turned Never Trumper Ana Navarro told CNN's John Berman on Tuesday morning.

Donald Trump announced Monday he is going to make good on the tariff threats he made on the campaign trail, starting with 25 percent tariffs on goods across the board from Mexico and Canada and even higher ones on China. And that's immediately going to hit Americans in the pocketbook, warned Navarro.

Donald Trump appears to be assembling a team to help him carry out his promised vengeance against perceived enemies — and an NBC News correspondent sketched out how that might look in practice.

The president-elect is expected to appoint hardcore loyalist Kash Patel to a key role in the Department of Justice or FBI, and reporter Vaughn Hillyard told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" how that MAGA extremist might target and torment Trump's enemies.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) predicted that President-elect Donald Trump would not have a very long honeymoon while in office.

Appearing on CNN, Blumenthal argued that Trump's threats to slap America's largest trading partners with massive tariffs should be taken very seriously and predicted it would cause immediate tension with his campaign promise to end inflation.

A national security expert sounded the alarm Tuesday that Donald Trump is expected to appoint a loyalist to "a position where he could do a lot of damage and wield a lot of power."

The president-elect will likely appoint Kash Patel to a high-profile position at either the FBI or the Justice Department, according to several reports. And since his nomination would be highly controversial, Trump is considering naming him to a position that would not require Senate confirmation.

Panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" marveled at the end of another prosecution against Donald Trump after he won re-election to a second term.

Special counsel Jack Smith had a motion to dismiss the Jan. 6 election interference case approved Monday, citing the Justice Department directive against prosecuting a sitting president. MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire expressed astonishment that Trump's legal strategy allowed him to escape accountability in all four criminal cases, including one in which he was convicted on 34 felony counts.

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday threatened to jack up tariffs on all goods coming in from Canada, Mexico and China immediately upon entering office — and CNN's Kasie Hunt on Tuesday reported that big-name retail chains are already warning of price hikes for customers.

"Tariffs are effectively a tax on imported goods and experts warn that they result in higher prices for goods that Americans buy every day," noted Hunt.

A top New York Times reporter who has covered President-elect Donald Trump extensively for years said Monday night that Eric Trump gave a “warning shot" to GOP legal strategist Boris Epshteyn.

The assessment from Maggie Haberman on "The Source" came after the incoming president’s son reacted to Fox News earlier Monday when asked about reports that Epshteyn, a longtime Trump aide, profited by selling access to Trump’s inner circle.

A CNN analyst took a shot at Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) who has launched a crusade targeting Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, who became the first transgender woman ever elected to Congress.

Mace has engaged in a public fight with the newly elected Delaware Democrat, who has proposed a binding resolution calling for a ban on transgender women from using women’s restrooms in the Capitol. Mace said she would “double down” and file similar pieces of legislation in Congress, and has even told Fox News in an interview that “a man walking into a locker room” where she was changing was comparable to "assault."

The repercussions reverberating around Washington following the closing of President-elect Donald Trump’s election subversion case could come back to bite Jack Smith where it hurts – his wallet.

That’s according to former U.S. attorney and CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig, who said Monday that just a mere probe being launched against an individual can have devastating consequences on a target’s life.

Attorney General Merrick Garland’s mark on the Justice Department could come down to one case – Donald Trump’s election subversion prosecution that collapsed today under the weight of a long-standing DOJ policy against hauling a sitting president into criminal court.

The development will likely hurt Garland’s legacy, according to two political analysts who concluded on Monday that the attorney general’s failure to timely appoint special counsel Jack Smith to investigate Trump’s criminal matter wound up sullying the prosecution.
