@3YearLetterman @NYCMayor Only Congress has the power to declare War under our US Constitution Article 1 Section 8. This is just a straight up lie.

@NYCMayor The president and the president alone has the constitutional power to declare war. As his direct subordinate, you are required to support him via your constitutional oath of loyalty even if you didn’t vote for him

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution. Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

@TheBradOwen Can someone TLDR this for me

I just need to vent a little bit otherwise I feel like I'm going to completely lose what I like about myself... I'm up about a million lifetime in poker, but it's not that much over the course of 20+ years. I'm down $400k from the high point before the 2024 WSOP started. I've only had one complete losing year (last year), but I'm down $100k this year already and I feel like I'm losing my identity and a failure if I don't turn things around soon, especially if I'm not as open about it as I can be about the tough times. I've done pretty much everything in poker except win a major title so I've torched money in mixed games trying to get better and learn/play with the best in small field large buy-in events. This is where the overwhelming majority of the $400k downswing has come from, and it's really not that many buy-ins when I'm playing high stakes events, but I need to talk about it somewhere since there are no vlogs of these sessions. I can always just quit and go back to cash where wins are consistent and easier, but it's enjoyable for me to push myself and I don't want to give up just yet even though it would certainly be better for my mental well-being. I put an insane amount of pressure on myself to try to be the best dad, significant other, poker player, content creator, ambassador, etc. that I can be. It's tough to ever escape or take a break because I fear that if I turn off the machine, even for a short time, I might not be able to turn it on again. There aren't a ton of people who can relate to what I have going on - maybe just 2 or 3 partially and 1 of them WPT made what I consider to be a massive mistake by parting ways with, which leads to me feeling very isolated and just generally not having nearly as much fun as I used to in the poker world. I don't know how much time I have left in this space before I get too burnt out. Time with my family is what makes me the most happy and I don't get to be with them or be there for them quite as much as I would like. My health is deteriorating as well and I just can't keep up at the pace I've been at the last several years even though there are plenty of reasons to keep churning out videos as frequently as I can. I'm incredibly fortunate to be in the situation I'm in. I love being on the WPT team - I don't agree with all of the decisions, but typically they do a lot of cool things for poker and I'm in the position to be able to lose $10ks and not have it affect my life at all. I'm living the dream and my 15 year old self wouldn't believe that I actually made it in the poker industry - I'm on the same f***ing team as Ivey!! Most days I'm super grateful and appreciative. Some days I just want to burn everything I've built down because I feel like a fraud and don't feel like I deserve any of it. None of what I do is that hard or that important and if I started making vlogs in the current climate, I'd likely get lost in the shuffle and wouldn't be nearly as successful. I don't like where some things are headed. I hate YouTube shorts. I hate AI voiceovers. I hate that a lot of people are promoting the game in a way that I don't think is healthy for younger people to see because the approach is that they're content creators first trying to do the most exciting thing and not the most responsible thing. I'm contributing to that now, and it's easy for me to justify blasting off in certain spots to hopefully make an interesting video and achieve certain goals I had when I was a first fell in love with poker in the early 2000s (like winning a bracelet or WPT), but I guess this tweet is my attempt to try to make things slightly better. It actually hurts me to see top level players like Jeremy Ausmus, Seth Davies, and even Chidwick to some extent, make poker content on YouTube/Twitter/Instagram. Nearly all of the poker content, especially from these guys is objectively good for poker, but vlogs used to be something that most top guys shit all over and now we're seeing them with stands and cameras at the table because the major poker companies don't give the best players ambassador roles anymore. I 100% benefit from it - I'm like win the lottery and get struck by lightning on the same day lucky. I just miss how things were back in the heyday and I'd like to see more opportunities for the guys I look up to in the industry - the guys who have actually accomplished a lot on the felt. Also, I hate that Kalshi sponsors the Lodge livestream and I think some gum company does as well that just has nothing to do with poker. It feels weird and even there we've strayed from what made that place special, but I'm optimistic we're going to right the ship. I wish I was there more to help make that happen. One of the few things I'm proud of myself for recently is turning down the opportunity to promote the side gambling games that Gold offers, which would've made me a lot more money. If I didn't do that I would've felt like I've sold out completely. I have no issues promoting poker because I'm an example of someone who's been successful at it, whereas if people are betting/gambling in things they have no shot at winning in the long-run - I just can't be a part of it and don't want to promote it. Let's see what else... Andrew Neeme should be in the poker hall of fame for revolutionizing poker in two massive ways - meet up games and vlogging, which has inspired more poker players than almost everything in the last few decades. WSOP needs to move its Bahamas event to January and stop giving out so many online bracelets. I don't know how you guys don't dislike shameless promotions more. I know that I should get a therapist and I will likely regret tweeting this 🔥🔥🔥

If Seattle wins, I will wear a Sam Darnold jersey on tomorrow's Arena Gridiron at 2:30 E. Seattle will not win. Same Darnold.

@DonnieWahlberg @maxkellerman @TomBrady @OldTakesExposed

@maxkellerman Well, there you have it folks. Max has just guaranteed a Patriots win in #SuperBowl LX! Thank you. PS - @TomBrady still hasn’t “fallen off the cliff”.

Congratulations to the #SeattleSeahawks for winning #SuperBowlLX !

If I were a Jets fan and I had to watch Sam Darnold win the Super Bowl tonight, I think I’d obviously be sad it didn’t happen in NY but understand he probably has to leave to have that success and ultimately be happy for him. If I’m a Vikings fan, I’m killing myself.

@iRaffer 3/? - Do You want them to make the game better without spending money with the refund of gems? Interesting concept

@iRaffer - You had to play the game to learn game? Novel experience. The shop is basically Smite 1 shop with new names for items - Gain your trust back? Who's trust do they specifically care about? Smite 2 is already better than Smite 1

After coming back and playing smite, actually feels pretty clean. Thing's that need to be changed. -Those skin prices are disgusting. -Gem's need to be reimbursed at a 1:1 ratio Smite 1>Smite 2. Build your trust back. -Advertisement? Still not seen anything personally

the raiders are about to help a kid beat an addiction. good for them

@RealSkipBayless @OldTakesExposed

The Philadelphia Eagles, the team I hate the most in the National Football League, is going to win another Super Bowl. You heard it here first or last.

@StillersStan @RapSheet Did you not just witness a GROWN man in the NFL get stiff armed 5 yards?

@RapSheet Glazing a 1 yard gain 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh, Derrick Henry.

@NMRSMITE I don't see my name on this list

@WhiteHouse this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.

If you see this tweet please reply the last song you listened to. I’m making a playlist

It's so popular to hate on Smite 2 when it is clearly in every way-except having all the characters- better than S1
