If there's a poker player on your holiday shopping list, please consider this little book. I've tried to level up a bit this year by having the ideas build on themselves from one hand to the next. I believe the result is the most instructive of these yet!

In bubble spots: the biggest mistake is calling off too wide, not shoving.

Phil Gordon, an advisor in Biden’s White House, admits that Biden broke the law and ignored his own voters to keep funding Israel’s genocide. Instead of admitting that was a mistake, Gordon is asking for more gratitude from Israel. It’s no wonder why this team lost to Trump.
Hard to overstate the damage to US-Israel relations done by the sense of entitlement and ingratitude reflected in comments like these and Netanyahu's own recent statements. Baseless misdirection to suggest that Israeli soldiers' deaths in Gaza were caused by some phantom US

MASSIVE BREAKING: A witness swore under penalty of perjury that Donald Trump threatened a young girl, telling her she could “disappear like another 12-year-old female,” and then threatened to kill her entire family, according to Epstein-related court records. This allegation

Opinion | I spent the last ten years criticizing the excesses of the left. Today's ICE shooting has convinced me that the right is almost as bad.

To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many

The man murdered by ICE in Minneapolis, Minnesota while he shielded women from being attacked by Trump regime thugs has been identified as Alex Pretti. He was a US citizen, a registered nurse, an athlete, a son, a brother, and a hero. The regime murdered him. #3E #GoodVsEvil

To all the congressional Democrats who say they’re in the minority so you can’t do anything here’s an idea- start whipping together the votes to replace Hakeem Jeffries who let this happen. Maybe for once think about what the country needs not just what preserves your own power.
7 Democrats — with the blessing of Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership — just voted with Republicans to give these agents even more money

Hey @WSOPOnlinePoker, you guys OK? My client hasn't worked the last two days, and it seems that yesterday you removed the Windows download from the site so I assumed you were working on it. Then I started getting a 404 from the download page. Now the entire website seems down.

ICE is arresting children as young as 5 in their driveway after they get home from school and shipping them to detention centers in Texas. This is objectively depraved and it’s insane Dem leadership refuses to support reducing ICE’s budget (which was TRIPLED this year) at all

Oh no! I just learned Flanagan's employer, The Atlantic, frequently uses unnamed sources. 😬 So does Weiss's Free Press! 😖Bringing this sad news to Flanagan's attention because I know this is her totally serious principle and not nonsense made up to defend her personal friend.
Pro tip: When reporting, ask the source for her/his name, write it in your notebook and put it in your story.
