@ChrisGastony @PhilGalfond No need to call them. They aren’t voting in favor of this bill

@PhilGalfond What if you have a democrat congressman? Some of us are stuck in the twilight zone 🙄

Yikes. Senate Amendment to the Big Beautiful Bill = You get taxed on more than you earned from gambling, even if you netted $0 (or less!). Here's how it works and what you can do... The change If it passes in this form, starting in 2026, gambling losses (and expenses) will only be 90% deductible (and still only up to your total winnings). What this means in plain English If you win $100k and lose $100k – You’ll owe tax on $10k of “phantom” income. If you win $100k and lose $50k – You actually profited $50k, but you’ll owe tax on $55k. If you win $100k and lose $150k – No tax owed (your deduction is capped at $100k, which is more than 90% of $150k ($135k)). (Editing in from my post below because it's important: A pro who earns $200k/year might have $3m in winnings and $2.8m in losses. This means earning $200k and being taxed as if they earned $480k.) This applies to both recreational and professional gamblers. For pros, your travel, coaching, software, etc. are lumped into the “loss” bucket and still subject to the 90% cap. What to do Pulling from @russcfox's post: "If you don't like this (and I don't), and if you have a GOP Congressman, let them know. (You can find your House representative at house.gov/representative…) Be respectful in your message, and, yes, they are looked at." Thank you for breaking the news and keeping poker players posted, Russ! --

@LegionHoops This was the obvious outcome the second the trade was announced. His injury predates the trade.

Just brutal: Shams Charania is reporting that Anthony Davis and his representatives could discuss shutting him down for the rest of the season after Kyrie tore his ACL.

@P1Eddie @SportsSturm They’ve been a lottery team for a month already.

@SportsSturm So let’s get in the lottery

This has been the nightmare that won't stop.

@lheat7890 @SportsSturm Zero chance he stays. Thats been clear a while now ever since front office decided to be a lottery team.

@SportsSturm @SportsSturm I don’t think I’ve heard you guys talk much about whether Ky opts in next year or not. What is your gut feeling? I feel like the betrayal is too much and he’s moving on

@chamath Seems dumb to ban non-prescription reading glasses

My friends and I are considering starting a new hi limit poker tournament circuit in the US. Millions in payouts per tournament (think Triton++) but some conditions: 1. There will be drug tests. You can’t be on any drugs including any performance enhancing drugs like Ritalin or Adderall. 2. No sunglasses, hoodies or masks. You play with your face uncovered and only prescription eye glasses are allowed. 3. There will be reasonable hours and formats so that it’s both not a turbo shove-fest nor an 11 day nit-fest. Thoughts? In general, what would make tournaments flourish in popularity and attract normies vs just degens and solver pros?

@ralphstrangis @dallasmavs Link doesn’t work. Article stops before the letter.

@Luka77GOAT @wfaa You want them to use ‘Nico’ as a code word for Nico? I’m seeing flaws.

@wfaa Fans should have signs that say “let’s go Nico” since we all know the double meaning behind let’s go Brandon…

MAVS BACKLASH: Dallas Mavericks fans with a "Fire Nico" sign were among those kicked out last night, as team governor Patrick Dumont sat courtside. Why "Fire Nico" is against the Mavs' rules: wfaa.com/article/sports…

@Cameronsdad @NewbergReport They didn’t allow people to put tape over the Mavs logo on clothes they were wearing. Kicked fans out for saying fire Nico. Neither of those things are obscene but that’s the reason Mavs gave for banishing these fans

@NewbergReport What does that even mean?? Dirk went support his friend. Obscene??

Will Mavs management decide Dirk's decision to go to LA for the game was an obscene gesture?

@cryptotray79 @bp22 That makes no sense. Patriots, by definition, would never vote for Trump

@bp22 fix is in again i dont think they can steal this one this time no covid bs this time i mean ive only seen a few ppl in real life that would vote for the dems most are patriots voting for trump

Trump odds have crashed more than $BTC

@jmandigojr @WSJ What does that have to do with this particular story?

The women’s boxing match that relit an #Olympics firestorm about gender and sports lasted just 46 seconds on.wsj.com/4d4cS1m on.wsj.com/4d4cS1m

@mazemoore @megynkelly Both candidates received these briefings. It’s standard practice leading up to an election. Stop with the performative manufactured outrage.

@megynkelly They make no attempt to hide what is happening. It's wild how out in the open they are with it.

Is she our president now? Could someone let us know when and how that happened?

@wfaa What is a GMC Tahoe? Why did they shoot into that truck?

Dallas police released body camera video Monday from a police shooting at a North Dallas apartment complex Thursday that showed the moment a stolen GMC Tahoe rammed into a police car. wfaa.com/article/news/c…

@jamiedhancock @dallasnews They were cheering for the players exiting the game. Kyrie and Luka were done for the game.

Big cheers for Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy and Dwight Powell when they entered the game for the Mavs with a minute to go in the third quarter. Mavs up, 92-60, going into the fourth.

@vmatthewt @ChrysophylaxD01 @grahamallen Christianity isn’t the only religion with a God

@ChrysophylaxD01 @grahamallen Lol you ever read the constitution? Pledge of allegiance? One nation under God? If you don’t know that’s ok but don’t say facts when they aren’t true

They mock us. They ridicule us. They attack our children. They mock our God. Our country needs a revival.

@vmatthewt @grahamallen Someone gave you incorrect information. Freedom of religion is a major part of this country’s foundation. Americans participate in many religions and also no religion. It’s not your duty to infringe on people’s rights in order to mold them into your religion’s liking.

@grahamallen If we were truly a Christian country we would not tolerate this. If we truly lived by our values we would not tolerate the mockery. Instead christians back down, "not judge" and say "they are just misguided". It is our duty to guide our own towards what is right.

@Gamblindude @bp22 @shaundeeb 10% isn’t healthy.

@bp22 @shaundeeb He's offering you a million dollars to get healthy, Shaun. Negotiate him up to 15% body fat or whatever at lower odds and take the bet. Do it for not just yourself, but your children.

Ok, @shaundeeb, you got me. 20 to 1, 10% BF in 14 months. Your 50k vs my 1MM. You've been setting up to make this challenge I know amd I'm falling for it......

@Sammathew07 @WallStreetSilv It’s a video showing his progression on one exercise, the pull-up. It doesn’t imply that’s all he does.

@WallStreetSilv I do agree about the upper body.. what did he do for the legs ? Did the pull-ups automatically help in gaining calf muscles? 😝 I'm sure... this alone won't develop your body at the scale he has achieved !!!

This guys 5-year pullup progression … 🫡

@krassenstein That’s not his name

John Stewart just SCHOOLED Republican State Senator Nathan Dahm on Gun Reform: Stewart: "You are brining chaos to order." Dahm: "That's your subjective opinion" Stewart: "It's not my subjective opinion, we have 50,000 gun related deaths. That's NOT a subjective opinion. That's DEAD PEOPLE!" I wish this man would run for PRESIDENT!

@VS_Joker @Zombe1078 @KariLake @JoeBiden The first part

@Zombe1078 @KariLake @JoeBiden How does any of what you say refute what she said.

Ohio is a toxic wasteland. Arizona is being invaded. California looks like a zombie movie. Chicago is a war zone. Flint, Michigan STILL has water issues. Meanwhile, @JoeBiden is literally falling out of airplanes in foreign countries. We are not a serious Nation.
