I wrote this nearly 12 years ago, and it still holds true today. "We don’t need a groundswell, we need a shockwave." medium.com/p/19dbd03fc198

I’m going to say this despite what it will do to me politically - I think the Virginia redistricting is extremely anti-democratic and that it is a reactionary policy to Donald Trump that was created by DC consultants… In 2020, 66% of Virginians voted for bipartisan maps…the new maps slice up Arlington and take away the voice of everyone outside of northern Virginia… In every local democratic committee I’ve been in, when this issue comes up, nobody can defend it, it’s just “well this is what the party says is best.” NO. The Democratic Party loses because of reactionary maneuvers and because it doesn’t have a big bold vision for the future. They say it’s “temporary” but FOUR years of gerrymandering isn’t “temporary” and because I value our constitutional republic over all else… I’ll be voting NO and I encourage everyone else to, but I can’t hold my tongue any longer despite what this will do to me with the Dems in Virginia

@TopShotWizard @GregFinberg Ran the sim 10 times, got #1 twice. Only top 3 3 times.

@GregFinberg Just simulated the Draft Lottery 5 times and Wiz got the 5th pick in 4 of them 🤮

@GregFinberg @TopShotWizard Why can't we have nice things? Is it too much to ask for a top pick?

@TopShotWizard That’s unfortunately how it goes😂

@dqltonx @bballcasuall @BestOfZay The query is incorrect. Review the game logs yourself nhl.com/capitals/playe…

@davidmcgraw @bballcasuall @BestOfZay ?

1000 combined career goals but they stay on the bench??? They clear for 500 goals, 1000 points, franchise records… but 1000 career goals…. Nothing?

@dqltonx @bballcasuall @BestOfZay One more season. His pace is slowing fast. His ability to get his shot off quickly and accurately is not what it was. 6 goals in his last 25 is an accurate reflection of his current abilities.

@davidmcgraw @bballcasuall @BestOfZay bro has 26 goals this season, 3 times 26 is 78. I think he has a fair shot

I know many have a one-track mind of obsession with the President, but I’m interested in the long-term interest of Virginians. 1. Illinois & other blue states were gerrymandered long before Texas acted. And even if Texas was the impetus, California has already gerrymandered to counteract TX. 2. The Democrats’ proposed map in VA would be literally the most extreme gerrymander in the nation. 3. VA is different than these other states, in that we went out of our way in 2020, taking the high road, to get politics out of redistricting. We shouldn’t reverse that. 4. Claiming this is temporary is absurd — you’re telling me that if these succeeds and we have 4 new Democrats in Congress from VA, they’ll just give up their seats come 2030? Please. 5. We shouldn’t have zero competitive congressional elections and silence the voices of millions of Virginians. Put Virginia first.

@SleeperNats Brady House

Who will be the Nationals MVP in 2026⁉️ #Natitude

@bballcasuall @BestOfZay 3 more seasons to accomplish it. Not gonna happen

@BestOfZay 77 to go

@JonathanTurley Using this logic, Trump could hire a new Mayor of Minneapolis

For a No Kings guy, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey sure seems to have a royal problem. Frey claimed on MS NOW that President Donald Trump could simply hire more TSA agents rather than deploy ICE officers. Yet, that would be done without congressional approval and appropriations...

@TedStarkey OVI is a lock to play next season

Only Wayne Gretzky has more combined goals (1,016).

@TedStarkey Well, we did get this

Notable Washington is now 16th overall in the NHL… but 12th in the East. Sorry, tankers.

Frank got hurt earlier in the game. Do the Caps play Miro in the next game or call up Lil Pro? #AllCaps

@spencernusbaum_ @andrewcgolden That will do it

Can confirm the Nationals have traded pitching prospect Sean Paul Liñan to the New York Yankees for infielder Jorbit Vivas. @andrewcgolden first on it.

@TheCupitals Don’t forget they are also sitting the D they traded for. Wasting more draft capital.

Wasting a 6th on this situation was objectively dumb. You had to know he’d have visa issues. You had to know his wife was pregnant. We drafted Petr Sikora with a 6th. Would not have thrown one away on this.

@youngnastyaka @SC_Commanderr I’d prefer a player like this

@davidmcgraw @SC_Commanderr He’s a slot receiver do you want him to be 6ft5?!

I love shifty slot WR Zachariah Branch as an option for the #Commanders at 71. -5’9” 177lbs -4.35 40 -elite get off & top end speed -strong for size (forced 20 missed tackles) -81 rec / 10 YPC / 2nd team all SEC (2025) -roughly 80% of career rec yards came after catch -Jet Award winner freshman yr at USC #RaiseHail

🚨NEW: MORE Virginia Votes & High Morale!🚨 🔥Va. needs voters to TURN OUT, so please share!!🔥 Have you noticed? Supporters of Virginia’s Democrat-gerrymandered, 10D-1R congressional map hope to erode Republican morale with claims that Virginia is SO awash in Democrats that there’s no way the Apr. 21 referendum can lose! The tactic is that if they can discourage Republicans, the latter may not vote. BUT who received MORE Virginia votes: Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger or Republican President Donald Trump? 🚨Here are the OFFICIAL Virginia elections data: President Trump received 2,075,085 votes in 2024, while Gov. Spanberger received ONLY 1,976,857 a year later. In fact, Virginians gave Republican U.S. Senate candidate Hung Cao, who is now the U.S. Under Secretary of the Navy, MORE votes in 2024 than Spanberger – at greater than 2 million votes! 🚨So, the next time that people tell you that Va. voters prefer Spanberger & her far-Left policies -- especially now that she's revealed her radical colors -- show them the data. Virginia still has MILLIONS of Republicans & Independents! Defeating the Democrats’ extremist, gerrymandering power grab all depends on WHICH Virginians SHOW UP to VOTE in an off-year election!!‼️

@sethjlevy Always felt this was their strategy

My theory: Iran realized that mass firing their missiles and drones was mass exposing their launchers. They wanted us to focus on permanently ending all launchers so they slowed down. It’s a very difficult task that would extend timeline. We didn’t take the bait.

They hope you are not paying attention.

@sammisilber I will believe it when Miro Plays

The Capitals plan to get Ivan Miroshnichenko in the mix sooner rather than later, and an Ilya Protas call-up hasn't been ruled out, either. More on what Spencer Carbery had to say about D.C. incorporating more youth down the stretch: thehockeynews.com/nhl/washington…
