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

I've known @FBIDirectorKash for some time, both in and out of government, and have seen him in numerous public/private social situations. Not once have I seen him intoxicated or acting inappropriately. That this story is based on anonymous sources tells you all you need to know.

Hey @S_Fitzpatrick I was Kash Patel’s Sherpa on the transition. I spent nearly all day everyday with him for 3+ months and have been with him frequently since. I have never seen the type of behavior that you’re describing from him. Your anon sourced story is BS. Oh and by the way, it was no pressure campaign that got Kash confirmed. He did his homework, studied every brief I wrote him (and I wrote them all personally). If I sent him material at say 2am, he would respond with questions by 3am. He was always available and never hard to reach. Ultimately, he addressed any concerns senators had. He studied the law enforcement issues in each of their states and came prepared with plans, ideas, and questions for addressing the unique law enforcement needs of each state. THAT is who Kash Patel is and it’s why the FBI has been so effective in the last year. I’ve never once seen him over drink. Not once. You are spinning that narrative because you know POTUS doesn’t view that favorably, even admitted as much in your story. And I’m not hard to find. Pretty obvious why you didn’t reach out to me for comment.

@BasedMikeLee We need to know how corrupt the “conservative” justices are

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.

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…

100%. America is beyond fortunate to have Justice Thomas on the Supreme Court.

FULL SPEECH: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas warns of progressivism as a threat to America. “Progressivism is replacing the core principles of the Declaration of Independence.” “If you think it’s losing confidence...get up and participate. You don’t sit on the sidelines.”

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-…

@Ash_Kalra @TomSteyer @TomHQ You guys need to stop it. There are a ton of undecideds and the debate is coming up. Stop trying to pick winners for us

The most recent independent poll shows Steyer in great position to crack the top-2 and avoid Republicans locking up the top spots. Time to get behind Steyer!

@jbinnall It’s not defamatory if it’s true! Good luck with the deposition! jdsupra.com/legalnews/unde…

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.

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,

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

@BasedMikeLee So you’re saying that it’s stealing seats if either party does it?

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.

Looked at some SF houses yesterday and it has turned me into even more of a turboyimby
Holy moly the absolute state of these units going for millions, not a single wall perpendicular to any other wall, if we’re not gonna build it ourselves we need another earthquake to MAKE us

Perfect🧵highlighting why Scott Wiener is nothing more than a pro-criminal politician who will do anything to get to Congress.
Wiener only focused on housing recently at the direction of @GrowSF, who think they can control him. He will turn on them if he wins. Vote @MHurabiell!
