Thursday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Linda Sanchez, Jim Acosta, Eric Swalwell, Whoopi Goldberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger, J.K. Rowling, John Kennedy, and more.

The BIG Lies

“[Trump] wants to provoke a violent reaction, because then he wants to use that as an excuse to send in these troops and flex his authoritarian muscles.” —Rep. Linda Sanchez

“Video after video has shown that these [ICE] agents are the ones provoking protesters and also making up aggression by these protesters.” —Rep. Joaquin Castro

“We are having an administration that’s targeting peaceful protests.” —Rep. Nanette Barragán

Non Compos Mentis

“It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation.” —ABC-7 Los Angeles anchor Jory Rand

“How many immigrants has [Donald Trump] married? He’s got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey. Isn’t she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that? Immigrants always doing the jobs that Americans don’t want to do.” —former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta

“Donald Trump is America’s Hitler.” —Rep. Eric Swalwell

“Not if you’re black.” —"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg responding to Alyssa Farah’s remark, “I think it’s very different to live in the United States in 2025 than it is to live in Iran.”

Yellow Journalism

“The immigrants caring for the nation’s elderly are losing their jobs.” —Axios headline

“ICE Barbie Kristi Noem rushed to the hospital.” —Daily Mail headline

Upright

“You gotta do things legal. And those people that are doing illegal things in America, and they’re the foreigners — they are not smart because when you come to America, you’re a guest. And you have to behave like a guest. … You have a responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America.” —Arnold Schwarzenegger

The Long and Short of It

“Biden let approximately 10,000 illegals into the United States daily. Daily. The flood washed in. Now it must go back out.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller

Good News

“The Supreme Court upholds our ban in Tennessee against gender transition procedures for minors. A huge victory. A fatal blow to the child mutilation industry. We won.” —Matt Walsh

It’s That Simple

“I have a superpower called eyesight.” —J.K. Rowling on how she’s able to determine if a person is a man or a woman

Imagine That…

“I’ve always been a very liberal person, maybe even a libtard, but once you have a kid, you start having thoughts that have been characterized as conservative. As soon as I had a kid, I was like, ‘I need a gun. Now.’” —actress Whitney Cummings

And Last…

“I do not want America to be the world’s policeman — but I don’t want President Xi, or President Putin, or Iran to be the world’s policemen either.” —Sen. John Kennedy
