Friday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Steven Cohen, Elizabeth Warren, James Comey, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and more.

Insight: “The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.” —Khalil Gibran (1883-1931)

Race bait: “Medical Textbooks Overwhelmingly Use Pictures of Young White Men.” —Rose Eveleth in VICE (No wonder Disney is calling its $400 million investment worthless.)

The BIG Lie: “If it weren’t for [Trump] being president, he’d be in prison with Michael Cohen today.” —Rep. Steven Cohen (If Trump weren’t president, this witch hunt would never have even occurred.)

Delusions: “I hear the seas will rise. I hear we’ll lose species. I hear there’ll be more storms … [and] there will be parts of the land that will no longer be arable. I have yet to hear one international report … that says if we don’t do something about this, you and your children and your neighbors and your country and everyone you love will die! Is that what it takes?” —NPR’s Joshua Johnson

Belly laugh: “I promise you if we elect a Democrat this time — I predict to you whether it’s me or someone else — but I guarantee you if it’s me, what’s gonna happen is, we’re going to see this country come together like it hasn’t in a long time.” —Joe Biden

Debbie Downer: “Nobody in America succeeds on their own.” —Sen. Elizabeth Warren with the latest Democrat “you didn’t build that” moment

Non compos mentis: “The Justice Department will have to take a serious look at that.” —James Comey speculating on a post-presidency Trump indictment

What could possibly go wrong? “We should have a not-for-profit public option for basic banking services, and we should be piloting these projects through the U.S. Postal Service.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (“I’m confused. Didn’t Twitter suspend the AOC satire account?” —Ed Morrissey)

And last… “The Attorney General has offered to let Democrats view a version of the Mueller Report that is 98.5% unredacted. The only redactions are ones that are required by law. Not a single Democrat has viewed the report, yet they are holding AG Barr in contempt for following the law?” —Charlie Kirk
