Friendly Fire

“The weeks of performative ‘resistance’ from those in my party were limited to undignified antics. Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession. I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.” —Senator John Fetterman

Weird Flex

“Serious question… now that Trump did his promo of Tesla, does that mean MAGA will go green all of a sudden?! I just talked to a lib friend of mine that is getting rid of his Tesla… I can hook y'all up if you’d like lol.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett

Grandstanding

“The president is not a king. And no billionaire — not even the richest one in the world — is above the law.” —Senator Elizabeth Warren

Double Standards

“The Trump administration pulled [Mahmoud] Khalil’s green card for his support for Hamas terrorism. Everything President Donald Trump does is reflexively opposed as unjust. … CBS reporter Lilia Luciano editorialized: ‘You could feel the chill in the air which really matched the chill in terms of freedom of expression.’ CBS never found anything ‘chilling’ in prosecuting nonviolent grandmas for ‘parading’ in the Capitol.” —Tim Graham

“Isn’t it amazing how Democrats have suddenly discovered the First Amendment after months of watching Jewish students hounded on campus and forced from dormitories and libraries and assaulted in the street for the irredeemable crime of being Jewish in public?” —Ian Haworth

Re: The Left

“Much of the media is in a daze. Democrats are dizzied and disoriented. The president knows how to keep his enemies, and more than a few friends, off-balance. But there’s a logic to this whirlwind of policy change: Trump knows his clock is running.” —Daniel McCarthy

Reality Check

“Prisons keep the rest of us safe, because criminals behind bars can’t commit more crimes.” —Betsy McCaughey

Mind-Boggling

“Elon Musk’s DOGE has confirmed that more than $300 million in Small Business Administration loans were issued to children under 12 years of age during the pandemic.” —Gary Bauer

Insight

“Talk to your audience, not over their heads or through them. Don’t try to talk in a special language of broadcasting or even of politics, just use normal everyday words.” —Ronald Reagan, the Great Communicator, on great communication

And Last…

“President Trump’s economic polices are simple: if you invest in and create jobs in America, you’ll be rewarded. We’ll lower regulations and reduce taxes. But if you build outside of the United States, you’re on your own.” —JD Vance
