Circling the Wagons
“As of right now, there’s no real evidence of wrongdoing here.” —Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal regarding snooper Jack Smith

For the Record
“December 2025: Jack Smith swore under oath that he didn’t spy on text messages belonging to members of Congress. Today: New evidence confirms he spied on dozens of members of Congress, myself included. This is a blatant abuse of power, and exactly what our Founders warned about.” —Kentucky Senator Rand Paul

Spin Doctor
“I think it’s important when you’re looking at allegations … to evaluate things like whether there is corroboration. And with respect to the [Lyndsey Fifield] allegation, there was none. Whether there’s motive to mislead or fabricate. There was plenty. The woman was involved in basically a Koch brothers-funded political operation and had been specifically involved in Maine political activities against [Graham] Platner.” —Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Non Compos Mentis
“There is no doubt in my mind that the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, is the Antichrist. … He is your enemy. And he must be killed.” —Florida congressional write-in candidate William Upham

“Did that make us any safer? Did that make the children that are left behind any more stable? Did it improve the idea that we can’t all be judged by our worst day?” —Minnesota Governor Tim Walz regarding the deportation of child rapist Tou Lue Vang

Dumb & Dumber
“We’ve seen this crazy, useless border wall through Big Bend being proposed when you already have a wall made by God, with cliffs and mountain ranges much better than anything humans could build.” —Texas Senate candidate James Talarico

“The real danger to national security is this [Iran] war.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer

Race Bait
“Trump’s Republican allies in Congress keep pushing the SAVE Act, the most devious voter suppression legislation Trump has ever dreamed up.” —Chuck Schumer

“I don’t care how Republicans try to package their plan to resurrect the old ghost of Jim Crow; we will kill it.” —Chuck Schumer

“Stunningly, Republican leadership attached President Trump’s racist voter suppression bill to it.” —Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Friendly Fire
“We’ve gotta be very careful for the move that’s going on here among socialists who are trying to hijack the Democratic Party with their anti-American rhetoric. … We’ve gotta stop it and stop the socialists.” —New Jersey Congressman Josh Gottheimer

“Some of them aren’t even socialists. They’ve actually self-identified as communists. I’m not sure why there’s [not] more outrage within the party.” —Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman

“If our party ever becomes … the anti-Israel party, that’s when I would leave because that’s been a moral clarity for me.” —John Fetterman

Observations
“Civilizations rarely decline simply because of enemies abroad. They weaken when law-abiding citizens lose confidence that the law will protect them at home. … Our greatest inequality is not economic. It is the widening gap between those who live by responsibility and those who profit from lawlessness.” —Armstrong Williams

“It has always been driven by a hatred — above all else, a hatred for civilization itself. It is a revolt of the worst against the best, a revolt of the weak and the cowardly against the strong and the good. It is perpetrated by those who cannot build, who cannot create, who cannot achieve great things, and take their revenge upon the world for their own inadequacy by seeking to destroy those who can. This is what radical leftism is.” —Secretary of State Marco Rubio

“At the very moment the Left insists that the U.S. has grown weak and isolated, America and its allies occupy a position of global preeminence not seen since the end of World War II.” —Victor Davis Hanson

Upright
“Any American who’s driven a heavy truck for our military will automatically be eligible for a commercial driver’s license.” —President Donald Trump on an initiative to replace illegal alien truck drivers

Belly Laugh of the Day
“I can’t believe the autopen wrote a whole book.” —Ben Shapiro on Joe Biden’s forthcoming book
