— Betty White (source)
“Teamwork is needed in Washington now more than ever. During my years in Congress, Democrats and Republicans were political combatants, but we were also friends.

— Bob Dole (source)

— Elon Musk (source)

“Listening to experts to set policy is an elitist approach. I’m very fearful of an elitist approach. I’m also fearful that it leads to totalitarianism.
