“Let’s call it what it is: today’s attacks are a weak attempt to silence my dissent and invalidate my patriotic criticism of the nativist, white supremacist, authoritarians in government. It is the definition of hypocrisy that members of Congress — who betray their oath each day they enable Trump — are attacking me for celebrating my Guatemalan-American roots.” —Rep. Delia “I’m a Proud Guatemalan Before I’m an American” Ramirez

Can’t Fix Stupid

“I promise you, this president is … going to be brought down. … He has to be brought down. … He will be impeached again.” —Rep. Al Green

Climate Tyranny

“We’re telling Nova Scotians: Stay out of the woods. … Hiking, camping, fishing, and the use of vehicles in the woods are not permitted. … If you have a home or cottage surrounded by a wooded area, we strongly encourage you to stay out of those woods, regardless of where they are. … But you can still go to the beach.” —Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston banning the woods to mitigate wildfires

The Most Trusted Name in News?

“You have some exceptions, like Illinois … but most of the worst offenders when it comes to gerrymandering are Republican states such as Texas.” —CNN’s Jake Tapper

Political Futures

“Today I took emergency action to begin the removal from office of derelict Democrat Texas House members who refuse to show up for the special session.” —Texas Gov. Greg Abbott

“If the Texas plan goes through and all else remains equal, the Lone Star State will have about the same partisan skew as California.” —Rich Lowry

“The truth is, Democrats aren’t upset because the system is unfair — they’re upset because it’s finally catching up with them. For years, they’ve weaponized redistricting in states they control while crying foul whenever Republicans dare to do the same. But the numbers don’t lie. The worst gerrymandering offenders are blue states.” —Matt Margolis

“An elected official admitting her loyalty is to another country before America is unacceptable! Sadly, proclaiming loyalty to another country does not politically hurt these radical leftists.” —Gary Bauer

For the Record

“If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore. … If this continues, I am going to exert my powers and FEDERALIZE this City.” —Donald Trump

“Washington DC is less safe than many third world capital cities.” —Clay Travis

The Bottom Line

“Let’s be blunt: If Israel doesn’t control Gaza, someone else will. And if that ‘someone’ is Hamas — or any Hamas-like puppet force allowed to fester under some United Nations peacekeeping fig leaf — then Oct. 7 will happen again. And again. And again.” —Ian Haworth

And Last…

“The president has closed deal after deal after deal. … More than 50% of [global] GDP have agreed to a deal where we tariff them and they open their markets for us.” —National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett
