Non Sequitur

“If the courts won’t stop this, and the Republican majority in Congress won’t stop this, we must engage in mass peaceful protest to take our country back from fascism.” —Rep. Jim McGovern missing the point that if peaceful protests change a system, it was never fascist

Demagogue

“Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions — rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking concrete steps to make sure all students at Harvard can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope other institutions follow suit.” —Barack Obama

Coup de Grâce

“Perhaps Harvard should lose its Tax Exempt Status and be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist inspired/supporting ‘Sickness?’” —Donald Trump

Friendly Fire

“Joe Biden is officially re-entering the political arena with a speech tonight. The big question: Does anyone want him back?” —Chris Cillizza

Village Idiot

“I don’t think any of us could have predicted how closely [‘The Handmaid’s Tale’] would maintain its relevance and continue to reflect real events. The series has been called a cautionary tale about what can happen when power is abused and people’s rights and freedoms are stripped away. But that warning was ignored, apparently, by the majority of voters, and Roe v. Wade was overturned. Women in our country have fewer rights now than when we started production in 2016.” —screenwriter Eric Tuchman

Stranger Than Fiction

“Explain to our audience why even a trip like this one — all the trips that we take into space — benefit mankind. Humankind. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” —CBS News’s Vladimir Duthiers to former NASA astronaut Mae Jemison, who whined, “So it benefits humankind and I’m gonna keep correcting the ‘mankind’ and the ‘man-made’ and the ‘man missions.’”

Re: The Left

“Just a reminder that the top priority for Democrats right now is getting an illegal immigrant back from a jail in El Salvador even though he’s a citizen of El Salvador and the President of El Salvador says that he’s a known terrorist. Total traitors to America.” —Robby Starbuck

“The entire American media and left wing industrial complex has decided the most important issue today is that the Trump admin deported an MS-13 gang member (and illegal alien). I’m old enough to remember when both major parties agreed that illegal alien gang members ought not live in your neighborhood.” —JD Vance

For the Record

“Most Americans lock their front door at night — not because they hate everybody on the outside, but because they love the people on the inside. That’s the way they see our border, too.” —Sen. John Kennedy

“3 months of President Trump and a 94% drop in illegal border crossings. Numbers dropping faster than MSNBC ratings.” —Rep. Dan Crenshaw

Belly Laughs of the Day

“Filed my taxes ON TIME because I wouldn’t want all those dead people to wait around for their social security checks. It’s all about doing your part!” —Jimmy Failla

“Can I check a box to direct my taxes to pay for migrant deportation flights?” —Rep. Mike Collins
