CNN’s Scott Jennings to former Kamala Harris official Ashley Etienne after she says “Elon Musk is running the White House” and Donald Trump is already showing “weakness”: “To be clear, the current White House is being run by Joe Biden’s unelected staff, but go ahead…Who’s the current President and who’s in charge? Can you answer?”

Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan: The Trump administration is going to END Catch and Release.

CNN’s Shermichael Singleton is exactly right about the fundamentals of what it means to be a Republican vs. Democrat: “I don’t think Democrats really permit a lot of compromise within their ranks, and we can be honest here. Look, this is an ugly process because but governing should not be easy. Selecting a leader shouldn’t necessarily be easy. I am happy that the Republican Party permits a dissent within our ranks. We should allow some of our members to challenge before we ultimately select the leader. That’s a good thing. That’s the way governance should work, Maria. Maybe our Democratic friends could learn a thing or two from Republicans.”

CNN’s Scott Jennings after the first ballot for House speaker: “And not only has Massie got problems with Johnson, Donald Trump has no sway over Rep Thomas Massie. Massie voted for Ron DeSantis for president, and at one point, Donald Trump came out against Thomas Massie, who, by the way, is my congressman from Kentucky — in one of his primaries, unsuccessfully, by the way. Massie overcame that opposition from Trump. So, if you’re thinking, like, you can just get Donald Trump on the phone here, maybe that helps with Ralph Norman and the other guy, but it’s not going to help with Massie. I think the — the mindset of the Republican Party here is important. We’re not in the peanut gallery. We’re — we’ve been elected to govern, you know, the House, the Senate and the White House. The American people put the Republican Party in charge across the board. And so, there are some responsibilities here to the voters who cast those votes to say, are you going to do something in Washington other than sit around and read each other’s names out loud all day?”
