Ashli Deserved It

@RobertGarcia I've never liked the jungle primary. I've always wanted top four with IRV in the general election.

In 2028, Californians should get rid of the jungle primary. It has not worked out as intended, and it’s time to get back to real primaries.

@AriEngelPoker I want a PLO freeze out tournament.

Need more main events being freeze outs! It really gives so much better of an opportunity for ‘anyone’ to win

@TheAthletic Depends. Am I allowed to wear a "fuck ICE" t-shirt when I visit?

President Donald J. Trump is in his sixth year in office, and, to date, no NBA champion has visited the White House during his administrations. Would that change this year? We asked the players:

@SuryaHeatNBA The rules list checking a two vs a three as something that replay can definitely determine. Which section in the actual rules do you think describes that play?

The NBA can review and “correct” a Max Strus 3-pointer several minutes after it happened but can’t check a blatantly obvious dirty play that took out the Heat’s best player for the majority of the game.

@roccoofrhode @NateDuncanNBA As I understand it, the rules say it wasn't a reviewable play.

@NateDuncanNBA Suspend him and suspend the officials that refused to review it

Should LaMelo Ball be suspended for his trip of Bam Adebayo?

@RachelBitecofer @cwebbonline @XavierBecerra This won't be a problem if you can convince Swalwell voters to instead back one of the two top Democrats. Promoting a third Dem to take Swalwell's place increases the chances of Dems getting shut out of the general election.

@cwebbonline It better be @XavierBecerra or CA is gonna end up with two Republicans running in the general

It will be very interesting to see which CA governor candidate benefits most from Swalwell’s campaign crashing and burning. Thoughts?

@eastbaycitizen When you say his behavior towards women was known, do you mean infidelity or so you mean sexual assault?

I’ve covered Eric Swawell since he was a member of the Dublin City Council. Shortly after being elected to Congress in 2013, his behavior towards women was known by all levels of our local government and the Alameda County Democratic Party.

@Baileymoon15 Were you told to stay away because he was a creepy dude who hit on a lot of women or were you told to stay away because he was a sexual assault-y kind of dude?

when i worked on the hill, i was told to stay away from eric swalwell on my second day. that was in 2018. he’s been awful for ages.

@RachelBitecofer @JenRodbowers @kraus_jonathan My suspicion is that the allegation that led to Senators calling for his resignation was the one where a woman said he tried to kiss her, claiming it was his right as an entertainer. I suspect some of them knew exactly who she was and believed her.

@GreatReplacer @JenRodbowers @kraus_jonathan They were all stupid allegations though.

Exclusive: Four women describe sexual misconduct by Rep. Eric Swalwell, including a former staffer who says he raped her cnn.com/2026/04/10/us/…

@penbook45 @bsk8rb @Mason__McCann It's fine if he's a class traitor.

@bsk8rb @Mason__McCann He’s a billionaire tho, thought democrats were against billionaires

I can't believe Tom Steyer is the least bad option in California

@JenRodbowers @RachelBitecofer @kraus_jonathan Franken maybe would have survived if it had just been the picture with Leeann Tweeden. It was all the other allegations that sunk him.

@RachelBitecofer @kraus_jonathan And it’s only coming out now. Really seems very fishy and Roger stone is involved. Just like he destroyed Al Franken. Are we really letting these GOP take him down with no evidence.

@haralabob I think the best solution is to have large fines and eventually take away draft equity for repeat offenders. You just need a commissioner who will enforce it properly.

In trying to fix the tanking problem, the NBA is going to run headfirst into the reality of unintended consequences. None of these people are equipped to come up with a good solution.

@77ishim @LuukeJohnston @RealKidPoker The deal was broken in 2018 when the US (and not Iran) withdrew from the agreement.

@LuukeJohnston @RealKidPoker Its not Trump goofy. Iran broke the 2015 nuclear deal and dared anyone to do something about it. Were America, you dont dare our military. This is the problem, and why we can never allowing liberal kuks run our Country.

Here’s @RealKidPoker back in 2024 painting Trump as the candidate less likely to get us into World War III. With Trump supporters, there’s a tweet for everything.

@onballcreator @KeithSmithNBA I would give him until the first playoff loss.

@KeithSmithNBA You seem to be contracting yourself. In one breathe it’s, Give him enough minutes to find his rhythm w/ a new team, & coming off an injury In the next breath, it’s pull him in favor of Garza is he’s not making shots Which one is it?

I get he needs minutes to find his rhythm after missing a month, but if Vooch can't hit shots soon, the Celtics need to go back to Garza as the backup center.

@AllenKessler @Liamgannon99 @tjreidpoker Start it at 2pm so it gets done earlier?

Reluctantly playing this plo8 turbo ring event. Most mixed players won't travel to play 20m level one day mixed events that start at 4pm and end that night. @Liamgannon99 @tjreidpoker So easy to fix this ...

@KeithSmithNBA I assume the most important criterion is a willingness to sign for an unguaranteed (or mildly guaranteed) second year for maximum flexibility rather than taking the best player. I wonder if Bassey decided not to do that and wanted too much of a guarantee for next season.

Some Celtics math to end the season under the tax: 🏀Signing a veteran minimum can happen on Saturday, April 11 (two days of prorated salary) John Tonje has been with the team for a bit now. The only other available player who has played for Boston this year is Dalano Banton. (Deleted and re-posted because Tonje would count towards the tax at the two-year vet minimum amount because he was previously signed to a standard contract via a 10 Day deal. So, it's April 11 only for Boston to stay under the tax.)

@NC0223 @SCOTUSblog Even if it were foolish, an executive order is not the correct way of changing things.

That is foolish considering the amount of Chinese babies that are born under the birthright law and then return to their home countries. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese babies are born here and raised in China. They could later become ARMED & TRAINED sleeper agents in the US ready to take over the US. Or initiate riots.

Supreme Court appears likely to side against Trump on birthright citizenship scotusblog.com/2026/04/suprem…

@AXE9010 @Gianl1974 I'd blame whoever was president in 2019, then.

@Gianl1974 A complete Commiecrat lie using press photos from 2019. Commiecrat useful idiots will take your lies and run because they are incapable of rational or critical thinking. The bottom line is that these degenerate illegal invaders could have avoided this all by not being evil.

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

@kowal_David_ @TexasMike2014 The fact that he bet should matter in the ruling. The fact that he bet blind and didn't look at his cards at all shouldn't matter in the ruling.

@TexasMike2014 Terrible ruling. It should for sure either be 0 or 40k, I lean towards 0, as this is not his fault at all. The fact that he bet pre-cards shouldn’t really matter in the ruling.

Last hand of late reg in PLO. I blind pot UTG, Martin blind pots button, bb all in, I’m all in Martin all in. Martin has 5 cards. Floor says his hand is dead, 15 min later there is still arguing. Martin has us both covered. What will the final ruling be?

@cesarrene @Wolfez0r @TexasMike2014 It's definitely not a misdeal. If you act blind, you are liable for any defects that are found with your hand. He has to lose some chips here.

@Wolfez0r @TexasMike2014 obviously video would be best… and yeah he was btn I hardly see a scenario where he is at fault for having 5 cards instead of the dealer, why would he have to lose chips?? Did you read how all the action was blind?? It’s a misdeal
