Marcus Aurelius understood the fleeting nature of human existence when he said, “You will be forgotten either way. So live in such a manner that, while you remain, you belong to yourself.” Stop sacrificing your authenticity for the approval of people who are equally temporary. Their opinions will fade, and so will their memories of you. The real tragedy isn’t being forgotten after death, it’s living a life that was never truly yours.

One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Three moves for low back pain:
Work on lumbar control and hip mobility together. When the hips don’t move, the low back takes the load. Use slow, clean reps — stop if you experience sharp or radiating pain.
Uses: teaches the spine to stay steady while the hips do more of the motion.
Result: load is shared better through the hips, leading to less of that overloaded, locked-up low back.

Most guys step in first, then punch. That is why their jab dies before it lands. The step that closes the distance is the step that delivers the punch. Full video: youtube.com/watch?v=MHlgOQwx…

How to taper to get faster without losing fitness:
- Cut training volume by about 50% for a week for every 8 weeks of hard training
- Keep intensity where it is - volume drives fatigue, not intensity
- Keep your frequency. 4 days a week stays 4 days a week or you get lethargic
- Cut the junk volume first: the medium pace work, not race tempo or recovery
- Expect a 3-8% performance jump within days
- 3 weeks of taper in collegiate runners held VO2 max and grew fast twitch fiber size ~10%

Fairlife chocolate protein shake has one main ingredient. Filtered lowfat milk. Every other item on the list is under 1%.
The 26 grams of protein in the bottle comes from filtered milk, not from anything added. Regular lowfat milk is about 8 grams of protein a cup, so 14 ounces would give you around 14 grams. Ultrafiltration pushes the milk through membranes that hold the protein back and let the water and most of the lactose through, then the plant recombines it with more of the protein fraction. That's how you get to 26 with nothing on the list but milk.
The under 1% group is the taste and the texture. Four sweeteners, monk fruit, stevia, acesulfame potassium and sucralose. Each has its own aftertaste, and stacking them at low levels lets each one cover for the others. Then carrageenan, cellulose gel and cellulose gum, three thickeners that keep the cocoa from settling and give the shake some body.
It's about as clean as a protein shake gets.

Meditation practice for getting in touch with your true self:
- Practice shunya meditation - "shunya" means void
- List every attribute you identify with: man, husband, son, even "loser" or "pathetic"
- Recognize each one is the presence of something, not you
- Now imagine you only existed for 10 seconds - no narrative, no identity, just a raw receiver of experience
- That flash of pure awareness, like a newborn's first shock, is the void within
- The void is the most basic part of what you are - it's what sits at the bottom

How to actually get through to a high-conflict person:
- Skip the insight - don't try to make them see how they're behaving
- Go outward, not inward - focus on options and what to do next
- Inward focus = more defensiveness, every time
- Drop the past - you will never resolve it with a high-conflict person
- Future focus only - gather just enough context, then move forward

🚨 Ilia Topuria is back on social media with his first post since the day after his loss at the UFC White House event
It is a letter to his son, Hugo ❤️
"Hugo, I've been thinking about you these past few days. About what you felt when you saw me go down. I know it hurt you...
But I'm also glad we went through it together. Because that day made both of us stronger.
Losing isn't what matters. What matters is how you lose."

🚨 $SPCX CAN DROP HARD FROM TODAY
Let's look at the facts:
SPCX first dropped 54%, from $228 to $104.
Then revenue and the first unlocks pushed it back to $143.
BUT
That bounce doesn't change the bigger picture.
$142 is still 35% below the top.
And the reasons for the first drop are still here.
More unlocks are coming.
More supply is hitting the market.
My read:
Another leg lower over the next few weeks.
Then a move into the $85–$80 bottom zone.
That zone could hit around late September or early October.
Not chasing this bounce.
$85 is the buy zone.
Follow and turn notifications on.
Updates coming if anything changes.

Action is the cure for most of your problems:
– Acknowledge what happened: mourn it, celebrate what was, then move on
– Get your "gear back on" immediately, don't wait for the feeling to pass
– Take action fast, the longer adversity sits unchallenged in your head, the stronger it gets
– The action doesn't have to be massive, just forward movement
– Do a quick analysis: why did it go wrong, what gate do I need to jump through next time
– Then go execute that next step
