From the Loony Left
“We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and [Mike Rogers] just pointed at me and said, ‘Well he’s Muslim.’” —Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed

“The Republicans do not want to talk about policy.... They lead by fear. ... ‘We’re going to make you afraid about what could happen to this country because we may have the first Muslim senator, because we may have a black woman president.’” —Karine Jean-Pierre

“They call people communists ... but really ... they’ve been afraid of a waitress in the House and a logger in the United States Senate.” —New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they’re also attacking all women’s ability to stand up against their abusers, their rapists, and their assaulters on campuses across America.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Republicans from Ohio to Texas to the White House seem a lot more interested in siding with rapists and pedophiles and pedophile protectors than they are about the young victims who were tortured by these beasts.”—Joe Scarborough

“I oppose governments that have IDF soldiers that have snipers that shoot little kids in the head and in the heart. To me, that is a war crime and I oppose that. And ... when it comes to MAGA, I oppose pedophilia and the covering up of it.” —Jennifer Welch

“We should seriously look at expanding the Court while the Democrats are in power. ... We should have 13 justices.” —Hillary Clinton

“Never let someone else’s limited ability to see your capacity be a limitation on your ambition.” —Kamala Harris

From the Reasonable Right
“If [Ilhan Omar] lied to get into this country, made false claims on her immigration forms as she applied to become a citizen, the public has a right to know, and the American people deserve a very clear and unambiguous answer. Saying ‘Not to my knowledge,’ even if you’re joking about it, seems bizarre in response to a question about whether or not you married your own brother. That should be a definitive no.” —New York Rep. Mike Lawler

“You can talk about what’s happening in France without acknowledging the role of migration. ... We have to be a lot tougher on ourselves, frankly, and forcing ourselves to ask the question of whether a newcomer into our country is willing to assimilate.” —Vice President JD Vance

“We must reject the argument that compassion requires Christians to support open borders or oppose the enforcement of immigration laws. That argument is both manipulative and diabolical. Loving people does not mean leaving the doors of your house unlocked. It does not mean opening the jail cells or leaving the borders open and unprotected.” —Southern Baptist Convention President Willy Rice

“History does not say that every protest leads to catastrophe. It warns that no society is immune when grievance is used to excuse political violence. ... No cause should be allowed to turn the streets into a battlefield where ordinary people pay the price for someone else’s ideology.” —Armstrong Williams

For the Record
“Live by the sword, die by the sword. Those who pick fights with me should understand that I will find out who is really pulling the strings and come for them, not just their puppets.” —Elon Musk after Democrats threaten to take him down
