When I moved to Austin 5 years ago and came across poker in Texas, I was so excited to get involved.
What we went through over the last couple of months has probably been the most stressful time of my life. I was personally facing criminal charges despite doing everything the right way.
I cant describe what it was like to go through something like that, particularly with a family and having always done my best to ensure legal compliance.
The lodge reopens on Tuesday. And it would mean a lot to me, and our team, for everyone in our community to show up and support us.
The lodge is good for poker. We have phenomenal staff and love putting on terrific events. We have made it through to the other side and I could not be happier for us to once again be able to host our members to play some cards.
Tuesday.
May 26th.
Shuffle up and deal.
If you think you can create better jobs numbers than the BLS then great, probably harder than you think but if you can, you can make a shitload doing macro trading and absolutely nothing is stopping you.
One last time: Even before the June debate, 86 (!) percent of Americans thought President Biden should not run for a second term — incl 73 percent of Democrats.
So if there’s a scandal here, it is simply one of political hubris — a Democratic establishment who told themselves they were saving democracy, but undercut that message with their own actions. Public servants who completely abdicated their responsibility to the public. I find it all kind of sad. For Biden’s legacy. For our politics. But mostly for Americans — who deserved better (and knew it)

RUBIO speaking in Riyadh says the Russians are ready to engage in a serious process
- Any deal will need to have "concessions on all sides"
- Acknowledged that the EU will need to be at the table
- Says any deal needs to be "thorough" "sustainable" & "acceptable" to all sides
It's breathtaking how much of this effort is built on bogus claims about things that were already known/publicly available and pretending they've just been uncovered.
It's also a repeated game, in game theory terms. If a party is not delivering what voters want, then it's rational on some level for them to punish the party as a deterrent against the behavior. For me, that incentive did not prevail, and I voted Harris, but I can understand it.
Tammy Duckworth to Rubio: "When I first got to Senate I was pregnant with my daughter and trying to change Senate rules so I could bring her onto the floor so I could do my job and vote...not accessible to wheelchairs...You came running down to me 'I'm with you! I support you!"
Pence praises Harris, saying it is "particularly admirable that Vice President Harris would preside over the certification of a presidential election that she lost."
