DC is a vicious, vicious place. The attacks, the badmouthing, the speaking behind your back. But, you know, and in my way, I feel very comfortable here.

Here is 9,000+ words by me on one of European high society’s darkest and most revealing scandals: sogivemecoffeeandtvhistory.t…
👀 Interesting and reasonable statement from Rounds, the lone Republican "no" vote on tonight's procedural vote on permitting:
While I appreciate my Senate colleagues opening a much-needed conversation surrounding permitting reform, I voted against the motion to proceed on H.R.2347 tonight. I believe any discussions surrounding permitting reform should allow for the opportunity to resolve any issues at the state level.
In South Dakota, the siting of most transmission lines has always been resolved in a reasonable amount of time between landowners, developers and the Public Utilities Commission. This legislation would transfer contested cases to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission if not resolved within 12 months, giving a weighted advantage to the developer. South Dakota landowners deserve to negotiate with stakeholders at the state and local level before federal intervention is required.
I hope to continue to work with my colleagues to address this concern.
Keep in mind Kerry Roberts lied to the state grand jury -- which was only established when the FBI questioned her -- and the defense still didn't cross examine her AT ALL at the first trial, extremely shrewd strategy at the time and in the long run

Let's see if this goes better for the McAlberts than the post-trial ABC News interview, I'm not sure I'd bet on it
This is really one of those "when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time" situations, that part of the case has never been complicated
For anyone wondering how the general public is going to react to a pro-McAlberts documentary about the Karen Read case…
Netflix posted the trailer for their documentary on TikTok five hours ago and it’s already got about 250 comments and 98% of the comments are pro-FKR.
My personal favorite is “I don’t really care to hear from the people in the house sooo” with 1,586 likes.😌
We all thought that Netflix learned their lesson back when they put out a pro-Amber Heard documentary but apparently Netflix has some masochistic tendencies.

Djuna Perkins on Sandra Birchmore's death in 2024 after Farwell was arrested: "There were clear markers here of criminal conduct" bostonglobe.com/2024/09/01/m…
As Matthew Farwell’s fate lies in hands of a federal jury (see updates from @KristinaRex), newly elected Norfolk Co. DA Djuna Perkins tells me she would consider a first degree murder charge against Farwell for Sandra Birchmore’s death if it does not constitute double jeopardy.

She was framed, there is more than enough evidence to support reasonable doubt, and all of it was provided by the feds

Perhaps the only redeeming value of The Trials of Karen Read -- beyond unintentionally revealing or quietly incriminating comments from certain subjects interviewed -- is the quality of the rebuttals it invites
Look at that! Netflix is coming out with a doc on the Karen Read trial! Do not mean to burst your bubble but they haven't had any communications with me. They do have Welcher in there though. Maybe he will explain why the X-rays were withheld from him. Maybe this time he will explain how a 6000 pound vehicle caused a collision severe enough to break the internal diffusers and yet cause only superficial abrasions (not lacerations) on John O'Keefe's arm. Abrasions that according to the only dog bite experts who testified during trial coincidently are consistent with dog bites/claws (from a dog that may or may not have been rehomed soon after his death.) They also have Proctor listening to Karen Read's voicemails in there. Maybe he will explain why on the first day of the investigation he assured his buddies that the homeowner will not catch any sh*t because he is a Boston cop but also the real reason the house wasn't searched is because there was no probable cause. I am definitely looking forward!

I'm crying because another complex and important case is being collapsed to a three-part series that won't do it justice
I highly doubt anything is getting "exposed" but I look forward to some unintentionally revealing disclosures along the way, similar to Voss's features

The trailer for the Gretchen Voss documentary airing in 2 weeks on Netflix is out, and it shows that they have gotten Michael Proctor, Kayleigh Furbush (John's niece), Jennifer McCabe, and Chris Albert on camera for interviews. As predicted, this will be a cryfest about how the McAlberts are all victims because Karen Read and Turtleboy fought back with the truth and wouldn't go along with the lie that they are all innocent witnesses who cared about John O'Keefe's well being. It also featured Paul O'Keefe, Jud Welcher, Ian Whiffin, and Rita Lombardi as the token FKR supporter to attempt to make it look balanced. This is a documentary that will primarily be about Karen Read and Turtleboy, but doesn't have any interviews with either of us. I am thrilled about this documentary, because I welcome ANY attention on this case, and any new eyeballs on my content, since the facts speak for themselves. More than 90% of people who watched the trials believe Karen Read is innocent, and all the crying and self-victimization after the fact will never change that.

Thanks, I hate it
The first trailer for the upcoming @netflix series, “The Trials of Karen Read” which premieres November 23rd.
Starring Jennifer McCabe, Chris Albert, Blue Paint Welcher, and Ian Whiffin.
#KarenRead
If nothing else -- and I don't see it providing much value -- I hope #TheTrialsofKarenRead provides some new details on the federal investigation along the way

As MAGA blowback to Trump 60 Minutes interview grows, White House Rapid Response account spins it all as a misunderstanding by Trump's base.
"Wrong. The word 'amnesty' was never even said in this entire exchange."
