Shot/Chaser I

“Fifty-three percent say that the process for deporting people has been mostly unfair.” —CNN’s Abby Phillip

“I agree. It’s unfair that it takes so long to get rid of them.” —Scott Jennings

Shot/Chaser II

“Do you believe that the president is mentally stable enough to be the commander-in-chief?” —Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA)

“Every single day, he’s the sharpest, most insightful commander-in-chief we’ve had in generations … and you want to ask that question after you and your fellow Democrats defended Joe Biden, who could barely speak and didn’t know what day of the week it was? He governed with an autopen!” —Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

Re: The Left

“Last year, [Democrats] elected an attorney general in Virginia who fantasized about the murders of his opponents’ children. A Democrat candidate in Iowa married Satanists. Now, we could end up with the worst yet in the Senate — a guy with a Nazi tattoo, who joked about rape, praised the efficiency of Hamas attacks and called himself a ‘communist.’ Can you imagine other senators having to refer to him as ‘the honorable gentleman from Maine’?” —Gary Bauer

“It would seem a bit odd that a military history buff would look in the mirror for 18 years and never recognize the symbol of the SS — recognizable to anyone who’s watched any World War II movie, or the hilarious ‘are we the baddies’ British comedy sketch.” —Jim Geraghty

“For Democrats, everybody is a Nazi except the guy with the Nazi tattoo who hates the Jews.” —Erick Erickson

Friendly Fire

“The increasing willingness of mainstream Democrats to align with extremist socialist groups is a major factor in why the Democratic Party is losing the center more and more, and why so many lifelong Democrats find themselves feeling politically homeless.” —Democrat strategist Melissa DeRosa

Belly Laugh of the Day

“The loon wing of the Democratic Party has the right to its opinion. But I have the right to mine. I happen to think they’re clowns, and most of them can’t even juggle.” —Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)

For the Record

“I thought I knew Russiagate. It was, like, 10 times worse. … It wasn’t just that it happened in the United States, it was that so many people knew about it. … I was never the same after that, because after reading what I read about how many people did this to President Trump … and not a single person stopped them, I’m terrified.” —former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino

“If Spirit Airlines fails, the blame will fall squarely on crazy Elizabeth Warren and the Biden Administration. Their anti-capitalist policies killed the Spirit–JetBlue merger that would have saved the airline and protected its workers’ jobs.” —Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz

And Last…

“The abortion cartel should not be able to circumvent state laws that protect life by sending drugs through the mail that kill unborn babies.” —Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX)
