Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Michelle Wu, Maxine Waters, Buck Sexton, Ian Haworth, and more.

Braying Jennies

“No one tells Boston how to take care of our own. Not kings, and not presidents who think they are kings. Boston was born facing down bullies.” —Boston Mayor Michelle Wu

“If [Donald Trump] wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania.” —Congresswoman Maxine Waters

Weird Flex

“I have to laugh when I hear the right wing carry on about the dangers of exposing kids to trans people or same-sex couples, because I’m living proof that introducing your kids to the gay agenda might result in them growing up to be governor.” —Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

Re: The Left

“If leftists continue to believe in open borders and allowing criminal illegal immigrants and terrorists to find sanctuary in our Country, we, true Americans, are left with no other recourse than to see you as enemies of our Constitutional Republic.” —Allen West

“Under current law, states do not verify citizenship status during voter registration but instead blindly rely on an honor system whereby applicants simply check a box affirming their eligibility.” —Ken Blackwell

“The Democrat version of the Constitution: nothing can be done to fix the country, but anything can be done to destroy it.” —Buck Sexton

Read the Room

“It’s troubling, and it may be significant, that [Chief Justice John] Roberts has failed to do anything about these rogue district court judges while putting out a statement critical of the president and saying impeachment is not a proper response to judicial overreach.” —Gary Bauer

“Dozens of federal judges are blocking policies — from downsizing government to ending DEI and evicting gangs — that voters chose when they elected Trump. Four justices are on the record expressing concern about national injunctions. It’s time [for the Supreme Court] to act.” —Betsy McCaughey

“The President of the United States shouldn’t have to ask permission from more than 600 different district judges to manage the executive branch he was elected to lead… The practice of sweeping nationwide injunctions, broad restraining orders and judicial policymaking must end. It’s unconstitutional, it’s anti-democratic and it’s imprudent. If the Supreme Court won’t stop it, Congress must.” —Senator Chuck Grassley

For the Record

“The fact that any discussions regarding U.S. military actions were held on a non-government-monitored social media platform is unacceptable. The claim by Hegseth and others that the conversation didn’t include ‘war plans’ — contrary to the reporting of Goldberg — is, frankly, irrelevant. What matters is that this conversation happened at all, out of reach of future oversight.” —Ian Haworth

“People voted to have adults back in charge. Right now, it feels like we have a group of teenagers who don’t know the difference between the ‘Bomb Yemen’ and ‘Reply All’ button.” —Ian Haworth

And Last…

“It’s another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it.” —Governor Greg Abbott in response to Jasmine Crockett’s labeling of him as “Governor Hot Wheels”
