Keen Sense of the Obvious

“Voters Were Right About the Economy. The Data Was Wrong.” —Politico Magazine headline

Dumb & Dumber

“Americans woke up this morning to bad news for their bank accounts. They woke up to a grim reality that Donald Trump is not going to keep his promise to lower costs. Americans woke up to an era of Trumpflation, and unfortunately, this is only the beginning on DOGE.” —Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer

“As we all know, [Trump] campaigned on a platform to cut back large parts of the government. But nothing, nothing in the Constitution, nothing in our grand tradition of American separation of powers allows Donald Trump to break the law in order to achieve those goals.” —Chuck Schumer

Belly Laugh of the Day

“The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.” —former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg

For the Record

“I know some liberal lawmakers go, ‘Oh, well we didn’t vote for Elon Musk.’ Yo, none of us voted to let USAID waste our taxpayer dollars by exporting dopey woke initiatives around the globe.” —Jimmy Failla

“Donald Trump gave America plenty of advance notice that he intended to put Musk in a role looking for ways to cut federal spending. … So, no, Americans did not elect Elon Musk, but they did elect the guy who clearly laid out that he was going to assign this task to Musk.” —Jim Geraghty

“It’s interesting how leftist politicians assert that democracy is under threat if leftist politics and policies aren’t being promoted over and against conservative or contrarian voices.” —Thomas Gallatin

“The United States faces consequential threats to our homeland. We must — and we are — focusing on securing our own borders. We also face a peer competitor in China with the capability and intent to threaten our homeland and core national interests in the Indo-Pacific. … As the United States shifts its attention to these threats, European allies must lead from the front.” —Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

“We want a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine. But we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective.” —Pete Hegseth
