I bought a sous vide thing a few weeks ago and made an incredible medium rare ribeye. As long as you get at least an inch and a half thick (this really matters) cut you really can't mess it up.

donald trump didn't do anything for the republicans on obamacare, and w/o obamcare happening fast they can't move onto tax reform.

their entire legislative agenda is pretty much dead rn

it's certainly looking pretty dire. they need to do healthcare reform this year, and they don't currently have the votes to move a bill. no major legislation will pass next year so tick tock

Skimming this it seems to be a total capitulation to the aclus arguments

This order will probably stand for awhile.

yeah the order appears to be so gutted as to not have a significant impact, except on total refugee numbers allowed being cut in half. the 90 day ban on new visas is a bit mystifying since the original justification for 90 days was that they needed time to work out extreme vetting. apparently no one was working on that while the order was in court?

i mean they should keep saying that tho so elderly ppl get mad and vote tho.

nope, it hurts the elderly badly.

insurance companies will be allowed to charge elderly 5 times more than than the young, up from 3 times allowed by aca. and their subsidies will decrease.

where can i go otherwise that shows me the organizing efforts underway

what do you mean by "organizing efforts?" what kind of organizing do you want? to what end? i mean the dccc has already hired dozens of staff to hit battleground house districts across the country, and left-oriented groups are packing town halls and leading resistance on various issues. so i think things right now are not bad on that front.

paul ryan: the freedom caucus is opposing my healthcare bill. they say it's too much government. it's doomed, we have to start over

intern: but wait, congressman. i have an idea. it's crazy, but it just might work. what if we... change the font size to 10?

i once had a beer in a place called the silver star with our director of the interior for lunch and the person i was with ordered a 'desert beer' [it was his fifth and i think he had had a shot of whiskey or something in the car on the way in] before heading back to the legislature where the state rep voted on a bill and promptly stumbled away to either pass out or puke i'm not sure

basically night krew would do a good job in the state legislature of montana is what i'm saying

here's a montana story:

gov bullock and rep. zinke had a beer at a dive bar in helena. gov bullock ordered a local ipa. rep. zinke ordered a local wheat beer with an orange slice on it. bullock looks over and says "72 confirmed kills and you're drinking that fruity poo poo?"

drinking is real serious in montana
