“The attacks [on the judiciary] are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity. The attacks are also not isolated incidents. That is, they impact more than just individual judges who are being targeted. Rather, the threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government, and they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule of law.” —Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson replying to Trump without naming him

“I also was on the ticket, quite honestly, because I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck, doing that. That I could put them at ease. I was the permission structure to say, ‘Look, you can do this and vote for this.’” —Tim Walz

“I do think we’re in the middle of an attempted authoritarian overthrow of American democracy.” —MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow

“In just 100 days, the Trump administration has begun to tear down the barriers standing between our nation’s working class and the American Dream. Factories are reopening, jobs are returning, and the forgotten men and women of our country are leading its comeback. This is more than a recovery from the Biden years; it’s the revival of the spirit that led our ancestors to build the greatest nation on Earth. As President Trump is fond of saying, the best is yet to come.” —JD Vance in a Washington Post op-ed

“Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible… In America, the impossible is what we all do best. There’s nothing you cannot do if you’re willing to fight for it. You’ve got to fight, fight, fight. Graduates of the Alabama class of 2025 … it is clear to see: the next chapter of the American story will not be written by the Harvard Crimson. It will be written by you — the Crimson Tide.” —Donald Trump to University of Alabama graduates

And Last…
