Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from John Fetterman, Jasmine Crockett, Jack DeVine, Gary Bauer, and more.

Non Compos Mentis

“Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act than what has happened here.” —Judge Patricia Millett regarding Tren de Aragua deportations

Braying Jenny

“[Ted Cruz] has to be knocked over the head — like, hard, right? Like, there is no niceties with him, like at all. Like, you go clean off on him.” —Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett

“Y'all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there.” —Jasmine Crockett regarding Greg Abbott, who is paralyzed below the waist

Race Bait

“The Trump cabinet is on track to be one of the whitest cabinets in modern history.” —Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley

A Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day

“DO: Destroy Iran-backed Houthis. DO NOT: Plan or discuss these plans on unsecured channels. The most lethal U.S. military must also be the most secure.” —Senator John Fetterman

Belly Laugh of the Day

“[Chuck Schumer] never makes the same mistake twice; he makes it five or six times.. … He’s about as popular as chlamydia.” —Senator John Kennedy

Double Standards

“Former President Joe Biden’s administration received 14 federal injunctions. In less than two months, judges have already hit the Trump administration with more than that.” —Victor Joecks

Re: The Left

“For years we listened to the Trump-is-Hitler babble, but now it is the Democrats who are giving the most authentic demonstration of Nazi brownshirt behavior since the real thing in 1935 Berlin.” —Jack DeVine

“The left often accuses Trump of promoting toxic masculinity. But Donald Trump is also defending women’s sports from sick men who are pretending to be women.” —Gary Bauer

Upright

“President Trump is right, and Judge Reyes is wrong. Military policy should be driven by effectiveness and national security — not the Left’s destructive ideology.” —Tony Perkins

For the Record

“Republicans in recent decades have helped Democrats expand the Education [Department] bureaucracy and balance sheet. Its $1.6 trillion in student debt would make it the fifth largest U.S. bank. The department doles out $270 billion a year, which it can use to promote a President’s agenda and please parochial interests in Congress.” —The Wall Street Journal editorial board

“Trump’s disregard for Canadian nationalism risks turning our closest ally, geographically speaking, into a suspicious neighbor.” —Daniel McCarthy

And Last…

“Every dumb thing my political enemies do is a major and embarrassing screw up. Every dumb thing my political team does is 7D chess and you just aren’t smart enough to appreciate its genius.” —Erick Erickson
