How do i handle terrible variance without even blinking?
because everything that seems bad that is happening to you is actually the most amazing thing, the most incredible thing in the long run
it just looks bad in the short term
once you see the long term, you will look back and realize it was the most amazing thing ever because of what it led to
how is this the case?
because the universe is inviting you to let go
the universe is inviting you to grow
because it is a self fulfilling prophecy
what you focus on, becomes real
you make it real
because you choose what meaning you create in life
and in the long term, the growth from this trauma will result in far more beauty and joy in your life

We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.

I testified before the House Rules Committee about the urgent need to restore the gambling loss tax deduction to 100%.
I submitted an amendment to this week’s Appropriations bill that would do just that.
It’s time to get this fair, common sense fix over the finish line.

The Rules Committee blocked the FAIR BET act from the NDAA. The fix now rests with @WaysandMeansGOP and @RepJasonSmith. Please schedule a markup of H.R. 4304 to restore the full 100% gambling-loss deduction. Break-even bettors shouldn’t owe tax on phantom income. @AmericanGaming @repdinatitus

The fight to restore the 100% gambling loss tax deduction continues.
I’ve introduced the #FAIRBETAct as an amendment to the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
I strongly encourage the Republicans to make this amendment in order when it goes before the House Rules Committee upon our return to Congress next month.

On Monday I’m introducing the FAIR BET Act, the Fair Accounting for Income Realized from Betting Earnings Taxation Act, to permanently restore the 100% loss deduction from gambling winnings.
I welcome all other members to join this common sense fix.

SEC 70114 is unconstitutional.
• Introduced by @MikeCrapo
• Limits deductions to 90% of losses.
• Win $100k / lose $100k → IRS taxes $10k you never kept.
• The 90% cap violates the Sixteenth Amendment because it taxes something that is not “income.”
• Under Eisner v. Macomber (1920) income must be a “gain derived” from capital or labor.
• Under Commissioner v. Glenshaw Glass (1955) it must be an “undeniable accession to wealth, clearly realized, over which the taxpayer has complete dominion.” When a gambler’s wins and losses net to zero, there is no accession (increase) to wealth.
This phantom "income" tax will go into effect starting tax year 2026. @repdinatitus is working on a bill that would reverse this unfair anti-gaming tax provision. Let's hope common sense prevails and this is quickly reversed before 2026 gets here.

🚨 SEC 70114 buries a 10 % tax on every $ you *win*, even when you break even.
• Tiny “pay-for”: +$1 B over 10 yrs vs $3 T bill (0.03 %).
• Drives handle offshore → states & feds lose more than it raises.
• Hidden tax = bigger deficit, not smaller.
STRIP 70114 or VOTE NO on the rule. #Kill70114 #StopHiddenTax #HoldTheLine

• Win $100 k / lose $100 k → IRS taxes $10 k you never kept.
• Nevada, NJ, LA unions + AGA OPPOSE the cap.
Taking a page out of @FoaznPoker’s book. If you saw $25 on the ground you’d pick it up, right?
