From the Loony Left
“One of my concerns ... is that as Trump tries to ban news outlets, he’s going to reshape the reporters around him so that they’re mostly just propagandists and there aren’t real reporters at all.” —CNN’s Brian Stelter demonstrating a lack of Leftmedia awareness

“We’re less crazy. ... You haven’t noticed?” —Democrat strategist Jessica Tarlov (“They’re communists who think the Islamists are the good guys. Are you kidding — ‘less crazy’?” —Bill Maher)

“To some of the roughly 240,000 Muslims in Michigan, attacks aimed at Democrat Abdul El-Sayed have brought back painful memories for some in a contest that has raised questions about the acceptability of Islamophobia in politics.” —The Washington Post

“[Republicans] are destroying public education because they don’t want our children to learn because they want them to be ushered into the school-to-prison pipeline to make more money off of them while they are in jail to exploit their labor. They don’t want people to have access to quality healthcare because they want them working these crappy jobs so that they can make their friends and their campaign donors more money on these crappy jobs.” —Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon

“Regulating the Internet so that you’re spending less time alone on Instagram should be an important government project. And if people are feeling more powerful and less lonely, then they are going to be less likely to fall for a bulls**t demagogue like Donald Trump.” —Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy

“When I hear billionaires ... say they are moving to Florida ... because they’re trying to avoid a state tax, which is a rounding error in their wealth, there’s a certain mentality there that says, ‘I should not have to give up anything.’” —Barack “You Didn’t Build That” Obama

From the Reasonable Right
“Joe Biden removed the press credentials from over 400 different agencies. What President Trump’s done is brought a lot of those back in. But he wants a free and fair press.” —House Majority Leader Steve Scalise

“[Trump] is not banning media outlets. What he’s doing is saying, ‘We’re not going to give you special access to the White House if you engage in what is effectively propaganda.’” —Vice President JD Vance

“The American public is very uncertain about data centers, often because they don’t have the real information about them. ... Democrats, by the way, see a real benefit here... This is rapidly becoming their new climate change issue.” —Kim Strassel

“What is far more likely to end America is not runaway AI. It is the complex of educational elites, globalist elites, popular culture and leftist media that is teaching the children of America to hate everything we believe in while it calls good evil and calls evil good.” —Gary Bauer

“Leftism is a satanic religion disguised as a political party; its sacrament is baby murder, and it’s designed to destroy this beautiful country. It has to be crushed.” —Joel Berry

Belly Laugh of the Day
“Just days after President Donald Trump vowed to issue every American citizen a $5,000 check if Republicans won the midterms, Democrats countered with their own offer: if they are elected, every voter would give them $5,000.” —The Babylon Bee
