"The prior administration dismantled our nation's immigration system in its entirety… The entire system was gutted… It takes time to build out of the depths of cruelty that the administration before us established.” @SecMayorkas
“We don't take advice or counsel from former President* Trump on immigration policy, which was not only inhumane but ineffective. We are going to chart our own path forward, and that includes treating children with humanity and respect.” @jrpsaki @PressSec
“In the last administration we had a morality problem: Children were pulled from the arms of their parents and kids were sent back on a treacherous journey. And that’s not the approach of this admininstration.” Jen Psaki

#PsakiBomb
"The idea that I'm gonna say, which I would never do, that if an unaccompanied child ends up at the border we're just gonna let him starve to death and stay on the other side — no previous admin did that either except Trump. I'm not gonna do it." @JoeBiden
“Of all the children coming across the border, over 70% are 16 or 17 years old… less than 1.5% fall in the category of the very young… We are building back up the capacity that Trump dismantled. It is going to take time.” President Biden

”We have an interlocking set of failures that involve the legal-immigration system, outdated asylum system, outdated border policy and facilities. All contribute to what we’re seeing now: seasonal upsurge that happens every spring.” Cecilia Muñoz @cecmunoz
“We’re talking about children fleeing persecution and harm in their home countries, and about families who want to come here to ensure that they are safe and that the lives of their children are safe and secure.” @ReichlinMelnick @EmCollective @nowthisnews
“These are CHILDREN. We need to recognize their humanity and treat them the same way that we would treat our own. That MUST begin with focusing on permanent, community-based solutions to #WelcomeWithDignity.” @KrishVignarajah @EmCollective @nowthisnews

@Acyn How many elections must Trump lose before @RepRaskin no longer has to warn voters about him?

#TrumpIsANationalSecurityRisk
@Acyn @RepRaskin “Trump’s lawyer argued that as president* he could order the assassination of rivals and face no prosecution unless he’s impeached and convicted. But of course he could just kill or threaten to kill Members of Congress who dare to impeach or convict him.”


@Acyn @RepRaskin Thank you for holding Trump accountable, @RepRaskin.

“I’ll say what I want to say and if the consequence of that is losing money — so be it.”
Elon Musk to David Faber 5/16/23


“The Twitter thing is different, right? We are seeing in these recent years that Elon Musk has behaved erratically at times, that the biographical facts that you mentioned that led to him at times talking about his loneliness, his sadness…” @RonanFarrow


“You take a guy with this much power, who is talking openly about his sadness, his isolation, his loneliness… There are people around him who are concerned. And then we as a nation — and indeed as a world — have to be concerned…”
@RonanFarrow @TheReidOut

“There are so many unanswered questions…lingering. How, for example, did Biden get 15 million more votes than his former boss Obama? Was the 2020 election a miracle? Honestly we don’t know and don’t expect an answer tonight.”

“WATCH: The Fox on air vs. off air comparison. To understand the depths of Fox’s hypocrisy, you really need to hear what the stars of Fox were saying on TV versus what they were telling each other behind the scenes.” @mehdirhasan
