1. Saint Francis of Assisi:

   Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace Where there is hatred let me sow love Where there is injury, pardon Where there is doubt, faith Where there is despair, hope Where there is darkness, light Where there is sadness, joy.

2. John McCain:

   Today’s indictment is a result of the hard work of America’s law enforcement and intelligence officials who dedicate their lives to bringing to justice those who wish to do us harm. These revelations add to a body of evidence confirming an extensive plot by Vladimir Putin’s government to attack the 2016 election, sow chaos and dissention among the American electorate, and undermine faith in our democracy.

3. Chris Taylor:

   House Democrats defied history on a record of creating jobs, keeping families safe, investing in America, defending women’s freedom and the integrity of our democracy, voters rejected MAGA extremism and now House Republicans are in a state of disarray. With a razor-thin majority, Kevin McCarthy is being forced to kneel to extremism in a GOP conference that wants to ban abortion, challenge elections, hawk conspiracy theories that make us all less safe and sow even more hate and division in America.

4. The Washington Post:

   Given Putin's background -- a trained career KGB officer -- Vladimir Putin has a very astute and sophisticated understanding of the tools that Vladimir Putin can use to interfere with our election process and to sow discord and distrust, which Vladimir Putin is doing fairly well.
