From the Loony Left
“We had contained [the Iran] threat when President Obama was president. And then Donald Trump came and tore that agreement up, and then in his second administration created a war. ... Less war in the world is usually safer.” —Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed

“[It’s] always rich to me that ‘defund the police’ is considered off limits.” —Texas Senate candidate James Talarico in 2020

“[Donald Trump] is afraid because he knows that if the American people vote out the rubber-stamping Republicans in Congress, there may be, finally, some accountability to the abuses of power.” —Ana Navarro

“We’re very fortunate because every Californian receives their ballots in the mail. ... You don’t even need a stamp.” —Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass

“Exhibit one of how sexist this nation is: Tell me — tell me — if Hillary Clinton had a penis and balls she wouldn’t be President Clinton.” —Scott Galloway

From the Reasonable Right
“Turns out Abdul El-Sayed is a dual citizen with Egypt. He said so himself. Can you imagine what Abdul would have said if he was running against an opponent who had dual US-Israeli citizenship? The guy is a hypocrite and a fraud.” —Ari Fleischer

“Socialism sounds good. Unfortunately, it takes away all your freedom.” —Florida Senator Rick Scott

“Nice of France to put on a live demonstration of what will happen in America if Democrats ever take power back again.” —Nick Freitas

“Virtually every major Senate seat is a dead heat right now. Don’t believe the narrative. Republicans can still keep the Senate — and actually should.” —Ben Shapiro

“Make sure you don’t read the news like you read a history book. You can shape the outcome of the trends shaping today’s top stories.” —Victor Joecks

“Only 56% of voting-age Christian adults voted in 2024. But Muslims? 80% showed up. That isn’t Muslims outvoting Christians. That’s millions of Christians who could vote and refused to do so. ... When the people who share the moral framework that built this country stay home, that framework slowly stops mattering regardless of how big their numbers look on paper. Inaction hands the future to whoever does show up.” —Lucas Miles

“It’s weird that the richer and wealthier we get, the more people complain. Money isn’t everything and, it can’t buy love or happiness. But it sure beats being poor. And poverty rates just hit their lowest level on record. Isn’t that a sign we’re on the right track?” —Stephen Moore

“The entire Cornell ordeal is nightmare fuel for any parent. All of the students acted horribly, but this woman is using a lawsuit to mask her own shame and to not accept responsibility for her own consensual whoring and drug use.” —Andrew Kolvet

Upright
“I’m up here to say thank you to God for giving me this ability, for blessing me, for shaping me, for chastising me, for teaching me, for punishing me, for allowing me to be a vessel and touch people around the world.” —actor Denzel Washington in 2019
