Demagogues

“The far-right justices of the Supreme Court endorsed hate and discrimination by delivering a win for Republicans who have relentlessly and cruelly attacked transgender Americans for years. … Their health care is lifesaving and essential, and trans rights are human rights. We have a fight ahead of us, but discrimination and hate cannot and must not win.” —Sen. Ed Markey

“They cannot legislate trans people out of existence.” —Ed Markey

“Republicans’ cruel crusade against trans kids is all an attempt to divert attention from ripping healthcare away from millions of Americans.” —Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer

“Trans kids suffer when they don’t get medically-necessary care. … My heart is with trans kids and their loved ones. I won’t stop fighting to make sure they can be exactly who they are.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren

“As a mom, I can’t imagine the pain these families navigate as they’re denied the care their children need. Trans kids, like all kids, deserve the freedom to reach their greatest potential.” —Rep. Brittany Peterson advocating for the cruel medicalization of minors who cannot consent

Gender Madness

“It should be a national scandal that 3 Democrat Supreme Court Justices want it to be legal for children to get sex change surgeries. They want legalized genital mutilation for kids. Really think about how barbaric and evil that is. Insane.” —Robby Starbuck

Upright

“In politically contentious debates over matters shrouded in scientific uncertainty, courts should not assume that self-described experts are correct.” —Justice Clarence Thomas

Leftist Whining

“It’s not just the economic toll that ICE raids have over our city — it’s the human toll. Children not knowing when their parents will come back. Parents no[t] knowing if they’ll be safe at work. Our service members here for no reason. These raids must end.” —Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass

Projection

“What we’re seeing right now … is not consistent with American democracy. It is consistent with autocracies.” —Barack “Pen and Phone” Obama

“The increase in violence, threats of violence against members didn’t happen by accident. It happened because of the coarseness of the debate, but beyond that, the kind of rhetoric that we hear some in the hard right use, which at least some people think gives them a permission structure to do very evil things.” —Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer (“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” —Chuck Schumer, March 2020)

The BIG Lie

“No one is attacking or has attacked Americans. It’s time to stop dragging Americans into war and letting Israel once again get America involved in their chosen war.” —Rep. Ilhan Omar

Double Standards

“Tucker Carlson when someone says the sky is blue: ‘What does blue mean? Which sky? What if I’m blind? Is it true at night? I like the sky; am I blue?’ Tucker Carlson when someone says Churchill was to blame for WWII or Russia is a free country: ‘That’s really interesting.’” —Charles C. W. Cooke

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

“If you don’t know what America is about, what makes America great? How do you defend it?” —Ben Shapiro

For the Record

“Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks.” —Donald Trump

“If there’s a chance for diplomacy, the president is always going to grab it — but he’s not afraid to use strength, as well.” —White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

“The number one enemy of the non-interventionists is reality. If it weren’t for reality, I would be a non-interventionist too. It would be nice.” —Joel Berry

“If you can’t cheer on Israel crippling an enemy of America, then you hate Jews more than you love America.” —Frank J. Fleming

And Last…

“Funding for USAID stops, and in an unrelated story the Democratic Party can’t pay its salary.” —Rep. Tim Burchett
