Musk is a bestie of his - if the shoe fits, etc. etc. etc.

Nevermind that gestapo force disappearing your constituents family members! FFS.

ICE is leaving Silicon Valley alone. There's been nothing here.

I should have known.

Just shilling for Draft Kings right out in the open

Anyway aren’t massive gambling losses a potential form of money laundering?

He is endlessly disappointing.

THIS is what he decides to focus on? The Nate Silver vote. WTF?

Khanna swims in a scrooge mcduck vault of techbro cash. He's play-acting with this bullshit.

exactly. pescrotum nate silver & ro khanna have the same masters.

Dude probably gets tons of cash from the online gambling industry

It is illegal in CA though, card rooms and Indian casinos pretty much the only gambling that is allowed here.

Maybe someone can scrape his donations. It could just be an extension of SV bros.

Gambling=money laundering from hostile countries

It’s absolutely that he sees his constituency as being the All In Podcast poker game

How is it an attack on sports? I don’t get it.

Christ he's fucking annoying

Ro 🤝 Nate Silver

good to know where this dickhead's priorities are at

next he's gonna promote homeopathic meds...oh wait... been there...

Will somebody, anybody, please primary this idiot! Even a houseplant would be better. Or a gold fish.

Xi Jinping

It's me, the gambling addict who stops for ten minutes to fastidiously check my prior withholdings vs recent income vs claimable losses in my personal accounting app before doing a hit of amphetamines and scratching my all-consuming gambling itch.

Why does Ro Khanna insist on being the most embarrassing member of the House Democratic caucus?

He is Friends with this guy.

Strong need for attention

Maga is virulently pro-gambling, but they're on the side of the house.

how does this kneecap *sports*, Ro?

Genuinely possible the word 'other' was inadvertently left out of 'sports and gambling'

But then he calls it an attack on "freedom, fun, and sports"

pete rose khanna.

Sounds like someone has a gambling problem

It helps to understand that gambling is an easy way to launder money.

No love for Ro Khanna, but to be fair disrespecting the intelligence of the average voter has won a lot of elections for Republicans

What's funnier is I happened to catch him on CNN at the gym. And he was complaining that the Old Guard democrats (not sure who?) were attacking Mamdani instead of this bill that takes healthcare and food away from the poor and from kids.

Mamdani upsets big money... soo

So did Harris and Biden. That's why they buried anything positive about him and funded influencers to convince people that the guy who made his fortune on ripping off people who needed housing would [checks notes] reduce the costs of housing.

At this point if big money is against then im for. Of course id rather have reasoned nuanced choices but that's out da window

Exhibit A:

I love this so much for everyone of them.

the idea of declaring your gambling losses or wins to the IRS is offensive to me as a proud italian american from nj

You don’t owe the Feds anything!

fuck the feds

agent harris was a good egg

Trust me, he’s the biggest sneak out of all of them. It’s all part of his little act.

Khanna or Agent Harris?

Make cigarettes cheaper, Ro. I'm supporting Virginia farmers but it keeps getting harder

JFC.

If the new law actually destroys on line sports betting, that would be the only good thing about it.

Also gambling addicts are the core of Trump and Republican Party base. 2026 will make 2010 look like it was a puddle.

This would be true if theres actually an election in 2026

Eh, deduction rules are unlikely to make a dent in any kind of gambling as an industry or hobby. It will make it less profitable for people who succeed in making it a career, though.

True, but generally the main thing that limits the long term profit margins of the people who succeed in making gambling a career is, y'know, the gambling.

Right, which is why fiddling with the tax code around it rather than the laws around the casinos is pretty marginal.

Actually agree with this

“Polymarket is better than polling” stans on life support rn

Can't wait for him to run for President on the platform of tax breaks for Silicon Valley and tax deductions on gambling losses.

Fucking shameful Ro I’m gonna lose healthcare and ice is gonna crack my neighbors skull and tbh I’m glad you can’t write off your loser shit

Going for the Barstool Bro

Nate Silver said similar.. Funny to know where priorities are with some people

This guy is one of so many reasons to loathe the Left.

He’s Silicon Valley’s pet congresscritter. Definitionally he isn’t on the left.
