Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Pramila Jayapal, Jasmine Crockett, Chase Strangio, Mark Alexander, and more.

Leftist Lunacy

“The president is lying when he says that there are men impersonating women and participating in women’s sports.” —ACLU attorney Chase Strangio

“For 15 hours and counting, [Sen. Cory Booker] has been holding the line on the Senate floor, speaking out against Trump, Musk, and the GOP’s reckless agenda. This is the kind of relentless resistance our democracy demands.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

“We really need to help Americans understand what happens when democracies fall when dictators take over.” —Rep. Pramila Jayapal

“Your average middle American says, ‘Why are you wasting your time worrying about Greenland? I can’t even find it on a map.’” —Sen. Chris Coons

“To be clear, undocumented folk contribute approximately $100 billion in taxes. They pay into Social Security, and they don’t get to draw down on it. So stop … allowing them to divide us and to demonize them.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett

For the Record

“Joe Biden sanctioned an invasion of the United States. We have approximately 20 million illegal aliens in this country. Their victims are measured in longer wait times for hospitals, overwhelmed schools, and murder victims the media largely ignored. The media has determined the real victims are the gang members we’re trying to get out of the country.” —JD Vance

Re: The Left

“The notion that unelected lawyers can micromanage the executive branch and override a commander-in-chief who received 77.3 million votes should trouble every American.” —former House Speaker Newt Gingrich

“What a judge in France has just done by disqualifying Marine Le Pen from running in that nation’s next presidential election is what Democrats dream of doing here.” —Daniel McCarthy

Nanny State

“Taxpayers are subsidizing Slurpees and sodas. This is wasteful. Food stamps are supposed to help low-income individuals ward off hunger, not satiate their sweet tooth.” —Victor Joecks

Upright

“Slashing unnecessary red tape around energy production doesn’t just make life easier, it makes growing a business more accessible and prompts MORE American innovation!” —Energy Secretary Chris Wright

Sarcasm Alert

“Leftists can burn down neighborhoods and police precincts, and that is a peaceful, warranted protest…certainly not an insurrection, like Antifa attacking, with gunfire, an Atlanta Police training facility construction site.” —Allen West

Belly Laugh of the Day

“DOGE IS WORKING: Elon Musk says the number of daily death threats he’s getting has been cut from 18,000 to 17,000.” —Mark Alexander

And Last…

“Many conservatives … have learned a general rule: If the editorial pages of The Washington Post and The New York Times disapprove of what you are doing, you’re probably doing the right thing.” —Hans von Spakovsky
