Well, my first case just resolved with a @POTUS Pardon. With the legal saga of Michelino Sunseri behind us, Connor Burkesmith and I are kicking off post-production on Racing Grand Teton, a feature-length documentary covering the speed record and legal fall-out, slated for 2026 release.

So many individuals and groups contributed to this outcome: co-counsel Ed Bushnell and @PacificLegal’s Damien Schiff and Michael Poon;@RepHageman (WY), @RepAndyBiggsAZ and their staff; House @JudiciaryGOP’s Crime Subcommittee; Office of White House Counsel and Interior Solicitor; @Cato’s Michael Fox and Clark Neily; @RightOnCrime and @tolmanbrett; @TheFIREorg and @NPPA (who supported our first-amendment lawsuit last winter); @NCLAlegal; and many @Harvard_Law friends / classmates who tolerated this rookie's endless questions.

@theallinpod @chamath Great episode as usual. @chamath if you’re looking for a simple yet bulletproof health plan to follow read 4 hour body by @tferriss and ignore everything else. It’s been tested by thousands for over a decade with nothing but great results. I’m surprised @Jason didn’t mention it.

@Jason Bro come ski at Jackson, I’ll show you around.

Filmmakers Sue to End "Unconstitutional" Permitting Rules to Shoot in National Parks https://t.co/xNjVJzLyOm

[FIRE @TheFIREorg]

LAWSUIT: FIRE filed a lawsuit on behalf of filmmakers Alexander Rienzie and Connor Burkesmith and @NPPA to overturn the National Park Service’s unconstitutional permit-and-fee scheme that threatens heavy fines or even jail time for filming in a national park.

@chamath I think @tferriss was onto this years and years ago as detailed in 4 hr body.

@The_AdProfessor What does a coffee break entail and how long is it?

@elonmusk Bro I think I just saw you

What does this accomplish other than deprive 640k Americans from Internet access? Does this make America better or worse?

Starlink was given a contract by the FCC in 2020 to bring Internet access to 640,000 Americans in 35 states by 2025.

But yesterday the FCC took this contract away and replaced it with...nothing.

A lot of people, including an FCC Commissioner, finds the decision and rationale a head-scratcher. When you make decisions that negatively impact a lot of Americans for no clear reason, its important to clearly explain why.

Otherwise, people will speculate. And in this case, they are speculating that this is directed political harassment of Elon.

@Jason Absolutely despicable. These actions are entirely unforgivable. This is not an “oops I was wrong” situation

[Connor Burkesmith @CONNORBURKESMTH]

@huckfilm Holy shit

@levie This honestly sounds great
