Monday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Nancy Pelosi, Jasmine Crockett, A.G. Sulzberger, Kash Patel, David Harsanyi, Buck Sexton, Josh Hammer, and more.

The BIG Lies

“The fine print of the bill just revealed by Republicans will rip health care away from millions of Americans to line the pockets of the ultra-rich. With this bill, Republicans are once again showing where their loyalties lie — and it’s not with working families.” —Rep. Nancy Pelosi

“Republicans want to cut $715B from [Medicaid] while handing out tax cuts to billionaires.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Virtual Signal

“Every single House Democrat continues to strongly oppose the Republican scheme to destroy healthcare and take food from hungry children.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries

Theater of the Absurd

“Since Trump became president, nobody seems to have benefited more from Middle East deals than him. … This is exactly why I issued a hold on all political DOJ nominees until we get answers.” —Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer

Dezinformatsiya

“We’re not the resistance. We are nobody’s opposition. We’re also nobody’s cheerleader. Our loyalty is to the truth and to a public that deserves to know it.” —New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger

Village Idiot

“I’m a woman except for the days when I’m a man.” —singer/songwriter Lorde

Promises Made, Promises Kept

“This FBI is leaving the J. Edgar Hoover building.” —FBI Director Kash Patel

Re: The Left

“Scapegoating Biden for all the Left’s considerable political problems is an ugly hypocrisy. It is also self-delusional. There is a reason the Democratic Party’s polling is at historic lows right now, and it’s not just Biden’s memory problems.” —David Harsanyi

What a Tangled Web We Weave…

“It is sad that Joe Biden has an aggressive, late stage form of Prostate cancer. It’s also very hard to believe that his cancer diagnosis was totally unknown until now.” —Buck Sexton

Too Soon

“Jake Tapper is gonna release a book next year saying he just found out Biden has cancer.” —Jimmy Failla

For the Record

“Americans are a self-governing people; it is We the People, according to the Constitution’s Preamble, who are sovereign in the United States. … Simply put, the patriots of 1776 did not rebel against the tyranny of King George III only to subject themselves, many generations later, to the black-robed tyranny of today.” —Josh Hammer

And Last…

“I’m worried about losing our majority in Congress, but I’m more worried about losing our dadgum Country.” —Rep. Tim Burchett
