Don't mind me. Just retweeting tweets of mine highlighting despicable things Barr has done before and during his second tenure as Attorney General.
Barr: Mass Incarceration is working "well overall."
"Indefinite detention" for asylum seekers.
Declined to prosecute Eric Garner's killer and claimed that there was "no chokehold."
Citizenship question.
Reinstated the federal death penalty.
Claimed he was "unaware" of any evidence hate crimes were on rise following Trump.
Shut down any investigation into Ukrainian whistleblower's allegations.
Literally designed and implemented the policies that lead to mass incarceration.
Lied under oath.
All of this:

When/if they are released, they won’t be allowed to become firemen.
Injustice of those in prison fighting wildfires in Cali isn’t just their $1/hr paycheck. Once released, they *can’t get hired as firefighters.* “People spend years saving lives while incarcerated then struggle to find a place to do the same work when free.”sacbee.com/news/state/cal…
Appreciate fellow practitioners pointing out exceptions so that people do know they still can apply for some related jobs:

LEAKED TAPE: NY passed historic, common sense bail reform last year. Instead of preparing to comply w/ the new law, prosecutors around the state are getting trained on tricks & loopholes “to jail people that otherwise would be released under the new law.”cityandstateny.com/articles/polit…
In addition to preparing to undermine the law, NY prosecutors & police are coordinating to weaponize tragedies & blame future violence on the bail changes. Using the same cynical tactics that pro-carceral forces used to create mass incarceration through 60s-90s to perpeatuate it.
Some examples. Under new law, people who dont show up (usually inadvertently) can be jailed only if they dont come back for 30 days. Courts/police can help. But training: “Tell police: Dont be their Uber. Wait 30 days, & then you’ve got your bail jumping charge waiting for them.”

2 minutes 20 seconds. Of terror. Dozens of transit police officers. Guns drawn. People fleeing. All to arrest a young man sitting down, his hands in the air, doing nothing. This is a militarized police out of control. And they hired 500 more for the subway.
Thread for more:
Direct your outrage at @NYGovCuomo. Last month he announced hiring 500 new MTA cops: “A rider has a right not to be harassed, to be threatened, to be subjected to intolerable conditions.” Who would have thought militarizing police in the subways would produce that exact result?

“Is anyone else worried that many, if not all, of the 12 criminal investigation referrals that we learned about in the report are under the supervision of the now exposed political hack Barr?” - @clairecmc
#Barr #Mueller #BarrCoverUp ⏰Barr will go on offense, and suggest investigations into the investigators to deflect and sow fear @TheJusticeDept @FBI. He will also warn against leaking and promise to prosecute leakers. GET READY!
#BarrCoverUp #BarrWhiteWash @TheJusticeDept “Unless Mueller is ready to fight Barr in public, which he will not do, a rogue Attorney General is much more powerful than we commonly understand, and in fact has massive power to protect the guilty and prosecute the innocent.”

Finally, a Real Attorney General - The Post & Email thepostemail.com/2019/04/20/fin…
It has been quite a while since Americans have witnessed an honorable and effective Attorney General serving in that important position. The two Attorneys General during the Obama administration were hopelessly partisan and extremely protective of the President.
Eric Holder famously claimed that he was “the President’s wing-man” who was “there with my boy.” Obviously, he worked non-stop to protect the President from any legal trouble and congressional investigations.

#Barr reply to @SenBlumenthal

“There are two different reports…Under the current regulations, the special counsel report is confidential. The report that goes public would be a report by the Attorney General.”

Opposite of reassuring that he'll make Mueller report public.
Senator @maziehirono follows up

"What I am hearing you saying is that...neither Congress nor public will get the Mueller report because that's confidential."

#Barr dodges: will release information "consistent with the regulations"—regulations which he says make it confidential!
Bingo

@SenFeinstein's precise followup:

"There is nothing in the regulations that prevent you from providing Mueller's report to Congress…the regs do not state that confidentiality means the report cannot be provided to Congress…Will you provide Mueller's report to Congress?"

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.
