Tommy Tuberville @CoachForGov - I have a theory about why Democrats are REFUSING to open the government…
Virginia has a gubernatorial election in 2 weeks. THOUSANDS of bureaucrats work in DC, live in VA, and are currently furloughed due to the government shutdown.
Far-left Fairfax County has seen a SURGE in early voting compared to 2021.
Is @SenSchumer keeping the government closed to try to help woke Abigail Spanberger get across the finish line???

Tony Seruga @TonySeruga - FBI Crackdown on NBA Gambling Scandal: Mafia Ties, Fraud, and Arrests of Prominent League Figures
On October 23, 2025, federal authorities executed a sweeping nationwide operation, resulting in the arrest of 34 individuals across 11 states as part of a multi-year FBI investigation into illegal sports betting and rigged underground poker games.
The probe exposed deep ties to New York-based organized crime families, with allegations of sophisticated fraud schemes that defrauded victims of tens of millions of dollars.
Among the arrested were high-profile NBA personnel: Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, and former NBA player and assistant coach Damon "DJ" Jones.
These arrests, which also ensnared 13 alleged members and associates of four major Mafia families, have sent shockwaves through the league, prompting immediate suspensions and highlighting vulnerabilities in the NBA amid the explosive growth of legalized sports betting since 2018. All defendants deny wrongdoing and face charges carrying potential sentences of up to 20 years.
Background on the FBI Investigation
The investigation, spearheaded by the FBI's New York field office with support from Homeland Security Investigations, began several years ago and targeted a nexus of illegal gambling activities exploiting NBA insider information and high-stakes poker circuits.
FBI Director Kash Patel described the operation as an "extraordinary takedown" involving "mind-boggling" fraud, while U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Joseph Nocella Jr., called the sports betting element "one of the most brazen corruption schemes since online sports betting was legalized."
The probe uncovered two interconnected indictments unsealed on October 23:
U.S. v. Eric Earnest et al. (Sports Betting Scheme): Focused on the manipulation of at least seven NBA games from December 2022 to March 2024 using non-public information about player injuries, lineups, and team strategies.
U.S. v. Aiello et al. (Rigged Poker Operation): Centered on a high-tech cheating ring that operated underground games in locations like Las Vegas, Miami, Manhattan, and the Hamptons, defrauding victims of at least $7 million since April 2019.
Authorities coordinated arrests in a single day to prevent flight risks, with ongoing probes suggesting this is "only the tip of the iceberg," including potential links to college basketball corruption. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch emphasized the schemes' reliance on victims' misplaced trust in "fair" games and insider access.
