Boston Mayor Michelle Wu:
“Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”
Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."
Rep. Lieu: “The Supreme Court is out of control, out of touch with the American people…This is the most corrupt Supreme Court we’ve seen in our history, and reform is going to come next year."
Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."
Sen. Booker to Todd Blanche: "Your nomination should fail. The Attorney General's client is not the president, it's the American people. You've been protecting one person for most of your career…You should not be confirmed to this job."
Rep. Massie: “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”

New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Rep. Robert Garcia: "We should not be scared of what's in those files. We don't care who you are, how powerful you are, if you're in politics, what party you are, the amount of money you have — if you've committed these horrific crimes, it should be out to the American public."
Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. She was a traitor to this country. She was part of a violent mob that tried to overthrow our democracy...She didn't die protecting our country. She died trying to turn it down...She wasn't a martyr. She was and is a traitor."
George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”
Epstein victims lawyer Spencer Kuvin: "We now know from the words of the President himself that Virginia was right all along, and that she was trafficked out of Mar-a-Lago.”
Pence: "Individuals who broke into the Capitol, who assaulted police officers...should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...The heroes on January 6 were all wearing uniforms...To have pardoned the people who assaulted police officers that day, was wrong."
Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”
Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?"
Mark Kelly: "It seems to."
Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?"
Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."
Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"
Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

Rep. Jim Himes: "Having the Defense Department kill alleged drug runners in the Caribbean is illegal...These folks are committing murder — murder defined as killing without a legal basis. I am mystified over why the rest of the chain of command is quite comfortable with it."
Rep. Jacobs: "Are Americans better off when the Strait of Hormuz is open or closed?"
Mike Waltz: "The American economy is largely unaffected by the Strait of Hormuz."
Rep. Jacobs: "My constituents who are paying thousands of dollars more in costs because of this war would beg to differ."
[email protected]l on Mike Lee: "Either he's so mentally ill and deranged that he's convinced himself that this person is a Marxist, and that Tim Walz is responsible....Or he knows it's a lie....either one of those options makes him totally unacceptable as a person in public trust."
Pritzker: “ICE is running around the Loop harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States. Now, ICE is making it commonplace.”
Mike Pence: "The president was wrong to pardon people who assaulted police officers on January 6...Anyone who would ever use violence, whether it be against law enforcement of political violence, must be condemned universally."
Sen. Tim Kaine: "Brian Kilmeade 10 days ago suggested that homeless, mentally ill people should be lethally injected. He apologized...He didn't get pulled off the air."
