Hi, historian of the Department of Justice here.

Just a reminder that the DOJ was founded in 1870 to put professionalism, expertise, and independence above partisanship, patronage, and corruption.

Some suggested reading for William Barr:
stanfordlawreview.org/print/article/…
That was the shot. Now here's the chaser:
Over the past century, more Attorneys General have been cronies than professionals.
I have studied many horrible AGs. William Barr is a new low.

It is time to make the DOJ formally independent from the president.

3/ Shorter version in my @washingtonpost op-ed last year on Whitaker (who looks like William Wirt by contrast with Barr now).

Nothing says "electable" like doubling down on praising Fidel Castro, twice in 72 hours.
If people are having a semantic debate about whether or not your positive assessment of Castro's literacy program constitutes "praise"...
you're losing.

Losing Florida.
Losing maybe 35 other states.
Losing the House of Representatives, too.
@SenSanders in post-debate spin, now quintupling down on praise for Fidel Castro's literacy program:

"Truth is truth. If you teach people to read, that's a good thing."
He uses the word dictatorship 3 times, "but he's done some good things."

This is crazy.

Emergencies reminder:
Trump used the National Emergencies Act to divert $3.6B from the military (total $18B) & plans to divert $7B more...

for a flimsy partial border wall...

while a real global emergency is spreading that no concrete wall can stop...

 "In its 2020 budget, Trump admin proposed a further 10% cut in CDC funding... It zeroed out funding for epidemiology and laboratory capacity at state and local levels.

Funding will also dry up this year for a tiered epidemic response within the US."

Ironically, this 6-minute video on how to waste less time was 6 minutes of totally wasted time.

In fact, more than 6 minutes, because it was so bad, I felt the need to waste more time tweeting about its awfulness.
The closing: "You die. But you won the award for most lives lived in one life. No one knows quite what you did with all that time...
All they know is you sure didn't waste it, right?"

Apparently you spent 50 years obsessing about nutrition fads & "reading" summaries of books.
Virginia @page88 rightly historicizes efficiency. But I'd suggest it's progressive era capitalism:
Frederick Winslow Taylor's Principles of Scientific Management & the stop-watch time studies.

So here’s the thing. I’ve told you all repeatedly that I trust Scott Schools who would be the senior career official referenced below in Sessions’ statement. I stand behind that now. I trust Schools (and Rod) appropriately and honorably on what McCabe did. I also trust /1
Robin Ashton who is career (not political) & the head of OPR. So what this tells me is 2 things: (1) McCabe screwed up something bad enough that Robin and Scott supported this; and (2) Sessions just put the icing on the politicization of DOJ cake. What is important to realize /2
Is that Sessions did not HAVE to fire McCabe. He had discretion to let the clock run out and let McCabe retire. He did not have to fire McCabe and usually - in order to protect the political folks - Sessions wouldn’t put his name on this. Sessions is on his knees for Trump and /3
