"“This transformative hospital price transparency rule has been fought at every step by the swamp and defenders of the status quote,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement."

Is "the status QUOTE" actually a thing now?

Yeah I was wondering if this was misreporting or if the actual statement has this mistake. It looks like the press release is worded correctly but it's possible it's been edited. But every news org out there seems to have the word "quote", which shouldn't have passed any editor's desk without adding [sic] if it was indeed issued mistakenly, or fixed otherwise. But nobody gives a crap anymore about language or editing.

Second only to quid pro quote
