The first extended except from my Harry Reid bio is out!

Thanks to @TheAtlantic for publishing it before the book comes out Tuesday.

[Howard Stutz @howardstutz]

In his opening remarks, House Ways and Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) commits to reversing the gambling tax back to a 100% deduction by the end of year. He blamed the Senate for adding the language.

[Phil Galfond @PhilGalfond]

This new amendment to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act would end professional gambling in the US and hurt casual gamblers, too.

You could pay more in tax than you won.

Contact your representative quickly.

Snacks and smiles were elite.

Even Super Josh can’t save you when the defense can’t stop the other team. MVP. Great 86-point game to enjoy/suffer through with @SCRpoker and The Teen.

28k reasons to use our fancy coffee machine? I tease…

[Jon Ralston @RalstonReports]

Turnout in Clark has already exceeded 2020 turnout, more than 28,000 already. Will have totals and breakdowns later, if I can stay up that late (I'm old), otherwise I will update the blog in the AM.

Sending all the positive vibes and big congrats to @mkonnikova. Well deserved and such an incredible milestone for her. She’s beauty, grace and she can write too!

Yesterday, I won my first ever @WSOP bracelet. Sadly, I wasn't given much time to enjoy the accomplishment. Here are my thoughts on social media shitstorms and the importance of putting positive energy forward instead of being a jerk: https://t.co/uQqwQk2kFv

For the win! Gold!! Was looking all summer for them, so happy to find in Paris and see them hold up. 💕

[Jon Ralston @RalstonReports]

As @SCRpoker says: Quad Aces in Paris!
USA!

[Andy Bloch @Andy_Bloch]

@WSOP had stated that the invitational TOC will be "during the 2024 WSOP at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas." They've just announced that instead it will be before the WSOP, in Los Angeles. How should the WSOP compensate players for this late change? https://t.co/0JPyHYUT9z

Kindness matters, always & in any industry. We have had some tough conversations & sad days recently but I remain optimistic about the future of the Indy & their mission, especially w/ @RalstonReports leadership. It’s been inspiring to see him develop & lead in good times & bad.

[Sara Cholhagian Ralston @SCRpoker]

@RalstonReports never forgets about the people and the lives behind the work.

@Joeingram1 I’m interested! Vegas/LA/Texas. Vegas preferred. 2 cards, 10/20/40.

[Sara Cholhagian Ralston @SCRpoker]

Fake news.

[Jon Ralston @RalstonReports]

.@scrpoker: "Say something nice about Taylor!"

Me: "I just did."

@SCRpoker: "No you did not!"

Me: Silence.

@scrpoker: Silence.

(I may be in trouble.)

A tough conversation for amateur poker players, professional poker players, poker sites & ambassadors and myself!

[Sara Cholhagian Ralston @SCRpoker]

@ChancesCards I am not sure if I fit your definition of good or agro but when I decide to play, I play to win. Just finished 131 in the prime and feeling warmed-up for the 10k this Friday. I’m locked in. I’d consider selling % for the coaching opportunity. LMK. 🍀

[Jamie Kerstetter @JamieKerstetter]
