Incitement to Violence

“This has now turned into what our greatest fear is and has been for a long time around ICE — that this will be used as an anti-civilian force that has no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw [last week] is a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

“Come on, guys. … I dropped an F-bomb. They killed somebody. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I’m going with the killing somebody.” —Jacob Frey

Political Futures

“[Marco] Rubio is what much of the Trump administration isn’t. He has what most of them don’t. He is articulate, polite, experienced, humble and self-possessed. He’s competent. He understands history. He thinks America is a force for good in the world. He’s been married to the same woman for 27 years. He’s never been a Democrat.” —The Wall Street Journal’s Matthew Hennessey
