@0xJaelle @JonKytePoker @WSOP It’s really a no-win situation. There’s no time of the year in the poker world where demand for dealers is higher. And the good, experienced dealers I know in my regular rooms all say that they make better money in their regular gig than at the WSOP.

@phadetheplex @anttsinc This is 100% the trajectory we are on.

The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency.

As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created.

Texan here

A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided!

Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks.

Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier.

This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses.

How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.

This is an opportunity for the big boys to cash out by dropping the stock on people that have no idea they’re the marks.

The biggest rug pull in the history of the stock market.

@izamamaa @MalcolmNance I mean, that was almost a year ago. How can you possibly expect her to remember that when there is so much grifting to do?

[Dr. Catharine Young @DrCatharineY]

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service at USDA helps prevent threats like screwworm from ever reaching US livestock.

In 2025, it lost 1,300 employees due to cuts and firings.

That’s the thing about prevention: you don’t notice it when it works, only when it is gone.

@JohnCornyn @SecRollins @USDA Say what actually happened. What do you have to lose?

[Matt Royer @royermattw]

Every time the shadow docket has touched a contested map, the outcome favors Republicans.

Texas gerrymander: allowed.

New York Democratic flip: blocked.

Louisiana: VRA gutted.

Virginia Democratic map: refused to save it.

Alabama: a Black district erased.

Same direction every time.

Did these people really not expect that budgeting would be an “issue” for companies paying exorbitant costs for non-productive AI tools? This is what we are hinging the global economy on?

[Sam Stein @samstein]

of all the pernicious things that have happened over the past few years I think the effective rebranding of January 6 into an event in which the rioters were the ones who were wronged may best symbolize how bad our politics have become.

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

@Mark7_16 @ThrillaRilla369 Locking prop taxes at purchase price is a core cause of California’s housing crisis.

@Hedgeye Using retirement money and passive investor money to force buy a stock at peak IPO valuations with zero price discovery should be criminal… those funds are supposed to protect investors, not risk it all to chase a shiny IPO

[Matthew Chapman @fawfulfan]

More people need to emphasize the fact that when the GOP controlled California half a century ago, they did what the Florida GOP is doing now and drastically limited property taxes, and it was a huge factor in why middle-class homeownership in California is basically dead today.
