The phrase "AG's good faith in that decision" stays in my mind. One shows 'good faith' by abiding by an agreement or understanding, particularly an informal, non-enforceable one. It wd be odd to praise the 'good faith' of one who has complied with a clear obligation.+
I think Mueller was adverting, very obliquely, to the intense battle he waged with Barr over the release of the report, with Barr's starting point being that the report, as such, might never see the light of day.
Over a period of one month, Mueller cudgeled Barr into agreeing to 'largely' release the report, and it was that agreement which Mueller grudgingly acknowledged Barr had shown 'good faith' in implementing. My hypothesis.

The last sentence of the tweet below chimes w/ many other comments abt. Dem leadership's messaging being terrible, no good, bad. What abt hiring a top rung communicator, deeply experienced in govt. communications, and totally steeped in the details of this crisis, +
respected enough for mastery of legal and political substance that (s)he wd be trusted by leaders to speak for them ? What abt a DAILY press conference, at a specified time, w/ that person offering candid insights into what's going on, what the priorities are, the strategy, etc.
Of course, leaders wd still appear and make their own statements, as needed or desired. But between times, a central spokesperson of very high caliber cd quickly create the 'must attend' daily event on the Hill, and unify the messaging.

On this Memorial Day, more than most, thoughts turn to the many in our family who've risked all for freedom, starting in the Revolution. This is my g-grandfather, Benjamin Petree. Enlisting from northwestern Mo. (Mo. 16th), he was with Sherman the last 2 years of the war.
My grandfather, Noel H. Petree, on his departure for France, WWI. He and his older brother, Leo, came home safely.
My father, Richard W. Petree, USN (WWII).

@RepJerryNadler @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer Statements today by Chmn Nadler and Leader Hoyer make clear that impeachment is *not* leadership's preferred course; a contempt resolution for AG Barr won't happen until some time in June (if then); and Mueller's testimony is uncertain.
You are aware, of course, that your refusal to move forward w/ a formal impeachment enquiry dismays a major portion of our party. That dismay is, in part, related to confusion over your intentions. It undermines your leadership to continue obfuscating abt impeachment.
If, as it appears, you've reached the carefully considered judgment that an overt move toward impeachment is *not* in the country's best interests (or the party's, altho country comes first), you owe it to the country, and the party, to clearly explain your reasoning.

I add Q drops that match the deltas (time between tweets) and timestamps on President Trump’s Tweets as a way to re_read drops and to see if they are deliberate on POTUS part, possibly pointing to a specific drop. Sometimes they seem to be!

Do you know? OK, but...
How do you know that you know?
What if [ ]?

When stuck in a cycle of perpetual doubt (skepticism), pragmatic solutions are healthy & wise. I choose to learn. With #faith, God will take care if the rest.

#UseLogic #Epistemology #TruthIsEvolution
When the world is trying to convince you that you don't actually exist, that you are an AI or a battery pod in the matrix ("brain in a vat"), why not examine those possibilities with logic & THEN decide how to feel about them? Pragmatically speaking, what can do you about it?
I cannot control everything that happens. I CAN control how I respond to everything that happens. Even if I am only a brain in a vat in the matrix. Cogito ergo sum.

@POTUS Our @FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP is the epitome of Grace. She is someone We admire very much. Thank you, Melania, for all that you have done for our Nation and the World. We look forward to the good times ahead as you and your Family continue to lead Our Nation back to unified greatness
@POTUS @FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP I love @SpeakerPelosi's necklace. I recall she wore it a few weeks ago. Lovely. She also looks good tonight, more steady than in recent days. I hope she finds courage to #SayBraveThings that promote unity instead of division. For the good of ALL of Us. The truth will set all free

One of the smallest extant medieval Psalters, measuring just 50mm x 37mm. This miniature Ferial Psalter, written around 1280 shows however that the interest and complexity of a manuscript has nothing to do with its size... 1/12
Representing the end-stage of a miniaturization fad that had been accelerating from the mid-twelfth-century, this manuscript and others like it could only have been possible after the introduction of the lens.... 2/12
The Psalter is profusely ornamented, with a range of decoration including ten multi-line, sometimes page-size, puzzle initials in red and blue with frogspawn penwork and red and blue extensions forming three- and four-sided borders, some with “firework” designs... 3/12

Empathy (narrowly FEELING another's pain) prompts us to care deeply about a dozen Thai kids trapped in a cave...#good. Compassion (love, understanding, & concern in the face of suffering) causes us to care about them AND the tragic flooding of 1000's in Japan...#better (cont.)
Empathy shines a narrow spotlight on the few, and can cause us to overreact and act short-term to relieve pain. You can't empathize with 100's or with a statistical abstraction like massive flooding. You empathize with one story at a time, and you FEEL it personally. (cont.)
Compassion involves understanding, concern, and love in response to suffering wherever it's found. You don't assume the suffering as your own, but you act sustainably to try and relieve it. This may involve "tough love..." say, with addiction (cont.)

AG Sessions today will publish his decision in Matter of A-B- and will hold that victims of “private harm,” including domestic violence, don’t qualify for asylum, undoing decades of work by brilliant and visionary attorneys and advocates.

Things will get better eventually, but for now they are only getting worse. As an immigration attorney, it’s really hard to witness the gutting of protections that were so hard fought.
Setting aside all of the rhetoric for a moment, let’s remember that real lives are on the line here. Please do what you can to stand up for immigrants in the US. They need your strengths, your talents, and your voices to make sure they aren’t trampled on and forgotten.
