@ThePoliticalHQ Not yet. Thats why you can't believe a lot on x/twitter.com

🚨BREAKING🚨 The Virginia Redistricting Amendment has passed. This changes Virginia’s congressional maps from a 6–5 Democratic split to a 10–1 Democratic split, representing a four-seat gain for Democrats.

@ElxMapping Not true yet. All precincts not counted as I write this.

🚨 BREAKING: “Yes” has won the Virginia redistricting referendum — Virginia voters have approved eliminating 4 Republican districts, flipping them to the Democrats

@DigiTruth2 @ViralReelAddict Hey antisemitic MAGA go away...far far away. You bigot!

This video was deleted yesterday from facebook. Be a real shame if everyone reposted this.

@LincolnShepher @Acyn BS. MAGA dude.

🚨 This is heavy on accusations, light on verified facts. Let’s be clear: Jared Kushner worked on Middle East diplomacy during the Trump administration, and his post-government investment activity has been publicly discussed and scrutinized—but claims like “Saudi payroll for $2 billion” are not established facts. This is the problem with political narratives today: everything gets framed as “corruption” before evidence is even presented in court or confirmed by regulators. During the Trump years, Middle East diplomacy actually saw major breakthroughs like the Abraham Accords—real agreements, not just talking points. That’s the context often left out. Also, dragging Ivanka Trump and framing the entire administration as a “mafia” is rhetoric, not reporting. If there are legitimate concerns about foreign influence or ethics, they should be proven through investigations—not slogans. And major players like Mohammed bin Salman operate in a geopolitical world where investment, diplomacy, and influence often overlap—but that doesn’t automatically equal wrongdoing.

Ossoff: How much do you guys know about Jared Kushner—Ivanka’s husband? He’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 billion. And now he’s leading American diplomacy in the Middle East, apparently, while at the very same time asking princes and sheikhs to give him billions more. Can you imagine a normal sitting U.S. ambassador just hitting MBS for billions? But he’s a Trump, a royal, a princeling. The rules are for us, not for them. And it’s not just Jared. Never before have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia has taken American corruption to spectacular new heights.

@ALaRocco0801 Not eligible unless they trade for an eligible pick.

Is there a world where the #Isles win the NHL draft lottery again and move up to 3rd and take either Chase Reid or Keaton Verhoeff to pair with Matthew Schaefer for the next decade? Possible. Way more likely they select big RHD Daxon Rudolph or winger Adam Novotny if they keep the pick. Small chance of Viggo Bjorck if he were to slide.

@ethan_sears Hey Ethan, quite frankly, I'm not going to pay for nypost sports plus. And my sense is that 99% of NY sports fans aren't either...probably more like 100%. The NYPOST is a MAGA paper promoting an autocrat that's ruining the country and the world for his own narcissistic purposes

@JamotheDooD @ethan_sears Yeah. You're a dood... stop with the bs.

@ethan_sears Dude is clueless. Just take accountability there was no plan. Do better or try until you get fired. But don’t you dare say it didn’t make the team worse, advanced stats say otherwise

Darche on the trade deadline: "Whether people agree with me or not that it helped the team or not, that's everybody's prerogative and it's fine. Whether it worked out, I guess we were not in the playoffs, so it didn't all work out. I don't think it's because of these deals but I felt at that moment it improved the team and the way we played after those acquisitions showed it." Noted the Islanders won four of five after the deadline. He viewed the Ottawa game as a clear turning point.

@UrNotMe715 @19consecutive No. Most fans saw it. Didn't I see you in section 215 booing the whole game?

@19consecutive Roster needed change since Trotz 🤦‍♂️ Gripping about this for yrs to the clueless fanbase that realizes it NOW 🤣

Everyone knows the #Isles need some real change, this roster is too stale and too limited in too many areas. For me, here are the 5 moves they absolutely need to make this summer: 1. Get a reliable backup for Sorokin. He’s been carrying the load forever and it’s not sustainable. Grab someone who can actually play 25-30 games without completely falling apart. 2. Move on from Anders Lee. Love the guy, he’s been a great captain but at 36, it’s time. Let him test free agency and use that money to bring in someone younger and quicker on the wing. 3. Buyout or bury Palat, Mayfield and Engvall. Those contracts are already dead money dragging the roster down. Clearing atleast two of these guys frees up some cap space and opens lineup spots for guys who can actually help. 4. Trade one of Pelech, Holmstrom, or Barzal. It sucks, but Pelech makes the most sense. He’s still solid but replaceable now with Schaefer. Holmstrom you could move too if the return is good, likely a piece in a blockbuster type trade. Barzal only if something absolutely crazy lands on the table. 5. Use every dollar and draft pick to add speed and top-six scoring. Draft the best talent available, give the young guys real minutes, and add a couple of fast forwards through trade or free agency. We need players who have a shoot first mentality and have had success on the power play. This current lineup just cannot consistently generate offense or run a competent power play, so any and all roster moves (besides Schaefer) need to be on the table moving forward. Alright GM’s, that’s my take. What’s your plan for this team over the summer?

@19consecutive Barzal needs a psychological therapy coach. So much talent-too much skating. Loses concentration. Giveaways galore. Absolutely keep Holmstrom. Sign D'Angelo. Need another backup goalie. So much more!!!!!

@moekamerow @AC360 The problem is you're eating more of it. How ironic!

@AC360 Eat shit democrats

New York Times White House Correspondent Maggie Haberman says the president's recent comments and social media posts feel "different in time of war," "more incendiary" and "as if they are escalating in tone."

@td23457 @AC360 Huh?

@AC360 Maggie has been normalizing trump for 11 years.

@TheTNHoller @RepFaison No sound!

WATCH: “Why’d you delete that post, Jeremy?” 🤔 @RepFaison hilariously calls Trump “Doctor” excuse “PLAUSIBLE” 🙃to explain why he weakly deleted his tweet criticizing Trump’s indefensible Jesus post

@sueispissed @PaulRieckhoff @RealTimers @billmaher Wrong. That's not what He said MAGA dude.

@PaulRieckhoff @RealTimers @billmaher Don’t want women to vote, but he thinks women should have the chance to be drafted and serve. Fuck all the way off.

🚨THE DRAFT. The truth about the December change that will MANDATORILY enroll all men in America 18 and over. But not all women. WTF? I explain. From @RealTimers with @BillMaher. With Douglass Murray and Dr Ezekiel Emanuel. I’ve been warning about this on my show. Other shows cover what’s happening now. I cover what’s happening next. 📱💻@indy_americans on YouTube: @independentamericans" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@independentam… 🍎Apple: GoIndy.us Subscribe, share and stay vigilant.🎙️🇺🇸🚨🔮🫡 📺And tune into @Morning_Joe at 9AMET too.

@James38634348 @latenightercom @DougKass Waaaaaaah! I'm an imbecilic MAGA.

@latenightercom @DougKass Having TDS is so cringe 😬

Stephen Colbert's Maria Bartiromo impression.

@mgy2rq2fhf @latenightercom Waaaaaaah! I'm an imbecilic MAGA.

@latenightercom Can’t wait until this man is off TV

@stefen_rosner Probably the worst I've ever seen Sorokin play. Extremely shaky. Every goal was stoppable. Is he feeling the intense pressure of having to win every game. Each goal is magnified.

Sorokin just not looking sharp. #Isles

@ChrisBottaNHL Elliot Friedman is a legit source

We discussed this on #Isles Fix. Same garbage every time. Ever notice how many of these insiders have a lot to say about what they heard AFTER a coaching change is made? Two other traits of these insiders: 1. They’re always up the rear of certain GMs. “Tidy piece of business.” 2. They glaze the League Office

@stefen_rosner Taking him out of what. DeBoer hasn't even coached an Islanders game yet. Silly inaccurate reporting 🤣

George is coming out. Asked #Isles DeBoer about the young D-man: "I love his path to the NHL. He wasn't handed anything, not a high pick. Has worked for all his opportunities. You are always pulling for guys like that. Boughner thinks he's done a really good job."

@DIYinvestor @stefen_rosner @TheHockeyNews Huh? Dobson was a terrible defenseman.

@stefen_rosner @TheHockeyNews Very simple. He trades Dobson. Defense is mow terrible. He blames Roy.

This is very simple. Darche gets hired. Darche gives Roy a chance. Team overachieves, Darche holds onto Roy. Team starts to look really bad. Darche doesn’t want to hold onto Roy anymore & before other teams make their offseason coaching change, he gets DeBoer. #Isles

@Schaefdaddie48 @ChrisBottaNHL My sense is you loved "The Apprentice " and "you're fired". Those sentiments don't get someone far. Roy is a human Your Twitter name tells me you favor superstars. Schaefer will have his bad days- I wonder what you'll say when he's 33 a shell of his superstar days.

@ChrisBottaNHL Don’t let the door hit you on the way out Patrick, no Accountability

Holy wow #Isles I like the new coach. I like the GM not giving up and making a move. I like ownership saying Yeah go ahead and do whatcha gotta do. Thank you, Patrick Roy. You were fun and cared. Peter D is a good coach and man who’s made some mistakes. I like the redemption angle.
