Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Pramila Jayapal, Eva Longoria, Matt Walsh, Brandon Gill, and more.

Shot/Chaser

“Dems see a winning issue in case of man mistakenly deported to El Salvador.” —Politico

“Democrats wonder if Kilmar Abrego Garcia case is a political fight worth having.” —The Hill

Braying Jenny

“Mahmoud Khalil missed the birth of his first child because Donald Trump is holding him in jail for constitutionally protected speech. This is cruel beyond belief. I continue to stand with Mahmoud and his family and will keep fighting to bring him home.” —Rep. Pramila Jayapal

Leftist Threats

“If and when we come back to power — and we will — we are not going to look kindly upon people … who facilitated authoritarianism in our country.” —Rep. Jamie Raskin

Yellow Journalism

“The Trump administration’s plan to begin collecting defaulted college loan payments from millions of borrowers risks contributing to an economic slowdown, some experts told ABC News.” —ABC News

Village Idiot

“It’s not just a moral imperative; it’s just good business.” —film producer Eva Longoria regarding DEI

Undue Process

“No American citizen receives this level of so-called ‘due process.’ This isn’t due process — this is called ‘infinity process’ to keep you here forever. No American citizen charged with a crime, with a serious crime, inside the United States, a U.S.-born American citizen, receives this kind of process. Millions of dollars in free legal services. Representation at every single level.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller

“If you’re here illegally, the only process you’re due is deportation.” —Rep. Brandon Gill

Re: The Left

“The Democrats have no leadership. None. Zero. Zilch. A party that still (for now) controls the cultural narrative, has billion-dollar donors on speed dial and dominates the bureaucratic class somehow cannot produce a single coherent, competent and credible leader.” —Ian Haworth

“Many leftists scold each other for ‘humanizing’ Trump, when apparently the proper thing to do is perennially dehumanize him. They can’t ‘normalize’ Trump by admitting he might have one redeeming quality.” —Tim Graham

Demography Is Destiny

“The birth rate in 1850 was almost 300 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age. In 1950 it was 106. Today it’s 55. Half of what it was 75 years ago. 20 percent of what it was 175 years ago. We need to start taking this problem seriously before we march into our own extinction.” —Matt Walsh

And Last…

“Earth to SCOTUS: Any school board member fighting to show sex books to 5 year olds shouldn’t be allowed around 5 year olds.” —Jimmy Failla
