“I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” —Rep. Delia Ramirez

Letting the Cat Out of the Bag

“Were we biased? Yes. Almost inadvertently, I’d say. ABC News has the same problem so many leading cultural institutions do in America: A lack of viewpoint diversity.” —former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran

Hot Air

“I used to work in the oil industry. … We just can’t do it anymore. … The sooner we stop doing it, the better. And of course for us in the United States, right now, we’re having this very strong heat dome. It’s very hot weather, which is going to affect agriculture, which will affect everybody’s prices — the price of your food in the grocery store. … And so just don’t vote for [Republicans] anymore. And when you get a chance, let’s get them out of office.” —Bill Nye the Science Guy Lie

Spin Doctor

“Donald Trump, House Republicans, and the Texas Republican Party — they’re all running scared because they have failed the American people.” —House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries

Friendly Fire

“I think it’s a bad look for a party that claims to be always trying to protect the democracy … to hole up in a state that gerrymanders: the state of Illinois. I mean, one of the worst.” —former NBC anchor Chuck Todd

“When I heard [Kamala Harris] say that the system is broken and she wants to take a step back from the system, her whole career has been the system.” —Lenard “Charlamagne” McKelvey

If the Shoe Fits…

“Senator Warren is a nitwit. … If Mamdani gets elected mayor of New York City, she doesn’t think wealthy people and corporations are going to leave? You’re a nitwit, madam. I mean, that’s all I can say. There’s no other word to describe you.” —Bill O'Reilly

Make America Respected Again

“One year ago, our country was dead. Now, we have the hottest country anywhere in the world, by far. And that was told to me by every leader of NATO … by the king of Saudi Arabia, by the leaders of UAE, by the leader of Qatar.” —Donald Trump

Re: The Left

“The Democratic Party depends on shunting everyone’s tax (or debt) dollars into the hands of bureaucrats who are one of the party’s most loyal constituencies. It’s not just NPR and PBS that have been publicly financed — it’s also liberalism as a movement.” —Daniel McCarthy

Political Futures

“I want to win 5 more seats in the House. But mid-census change in Texas is not the way to do it. Even politics must have rules. Gerrymandering should be done once every ten years — by all states. Otherwise, there are no rules and it’s the equivalent of all-out, political wars all the time — simply to gain power.” —Ari Fleischer

“We are eight months into President Trump’s second term and we are being forced to listen and read speculation about an election a political lifetime away. … The larger part of the media’s pre-occupation with politics is that many ‘can’t stop thinking about tomorrow’ instead of living in the present. For many, politics has become a false god.” —Cal Thomas
