Skeptical, but in a good way, and kind of hedonistic. Lucky, happy and practicing letting it all go. Views all mine

If I am The Atlantic, I do not file motion to dismiss. I go straight to discovery and wait for summary judgment. Get Kash Patel on the record under oath. A lot of great content there by the way. Set a precedent that you will fight and you will seek to punish.
Roger Sollenberger@SollenbergerRC

The defamation lawsuit Kash Patel filed against The Atlantic contains this almost admirably absurd false claim: "Director Patel has not targeted political or personal adversaries" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

The SCOTUS leaks seem to have one thing in common: They’re intended to undermine and harm the conservative justices This needs to be aggressively investigated

BREAKING: As an award winning journalist, it is my view that Kash Patel has a very strong defamation case against The Atlantic and Sarah Fitzpatrick. This morning he filed a $250 million defamation case against them. tennesseestar.com/justice/leahy-…

Defamatory speech is not free speech, and it is an honor to represent Kash Patel in this lawsuit seeking accountability for The Atlantic article's malicious falsehoods. reuters.com/world/fbi-dire…

Just heard a doozy from Justice Alito in today's Supreme Court argument about federal court procedure: "When have we reached out to overrule a decision when we haven’t even been asked to do it?" Alito, of course, authored the Dobbs ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. Mississippi's petition did not originally ask it to do so. #SCOTUS

It’s not rich people leaving California. It’s working class folks. And it’s all about the cost of housing due to decades of under-building. Once they leave, they can afford housing & their finances improve. We must continue the fight to build more homes. It’s essential for California’s future,

@MLNow @EskSF Almost all types of crime are down dramatically since she came into office. If you can’t attribute that in part to her policies then you can’t attribute the recent increase in homicides to her either

A national story credited San Francisco's "anti-Woke DA" with the city's big drop in crime. It did not mention that 4X the murders have been recorded in the city compared to this time last year The article's premise, it turns out, was silly From @esksf missionlocal.org/2026/04/brooke…

It’s only partisan gerrymandering and “stealing seats” when Republicans do it. When it’s Democrats, it’s about “making the system as fair as it can be.” Democrat logic is exhausting.

I really need to do a full breakdown of my finale performance because the amount of references, rewrites, demos, and creative back and forth with Leland, the choreo ideas with Jamal, and even the booth changes with Gabe was wild. Every detail really mattered and honestly they were all so receptive to my many iterations on it. Singing with Gabe and one of the writers was genuinely one of the most affirming creative moments I’ve ever had. I definitely pulled from so much outside inspiration too and sending all of that to them helped me articulate the vision. The collaborators we had access to were kind of unreal, like very exceptional artists. When I think about it, it still feels unbelievable. But like this was serious for me. I cared a lot about getting it right and I’m really proud of what we made. And yeah sure, the office motif isn’t “original” but it is personal. It is literally about breaking out of gray corporate life to chase the thing that actually makes me feel alive and creative and energized.
