Last year, Trump released a Contract With The American Voter, outlining an agenda for the first 100 days. Here's the status of that agenda: pic.twitter.com/cujdxe30OT

Apart from the professional GOP version of ‘virtue signaling‘, what’s on the agenda for the day?
I know Trump is talking about Tax Reform and repealing ACA for next week, but has anyone articulated a plan to keep the government open?

… not entirely sure this isn’t a possible outcome…
In a desperate bid to fulfill one promise within 100 days, Trump's heading to 5th Avenue and he's got a gun.

The chances that Trump actually read his own Contract With America are exceedingly small. Still, the bad press is clearly getting under his bad skin. I expect we will keep hearing how Gorsuck was his “major” accomplishment, and “do you think that was easy?”
But really, what else can he point to?
Elizabelle
Trump fired the Surgeon General. They usually serve out their terms, from administration to administration, unless they cause controversy. But not in Trumpland.
From the Fuck the Fucking New York Times:
A list of previous controversial Surgeons General — call it FTFNYTimes squid ink — and then we get to it:

Listening to the beltway hacks like Joe and Meeka and David Ignatius and Andrea Mitchell try to confabulate “Trump policy” on the basis of his day to day changes of mood and underwear is probably the most exasperating part of all. They just cannot admit that he has no idea what he’s doing.

On the small moral victories front, I tipped the scales at my dictor’s appointment yesterday at 199 pounds. Last April, I was 213 pounds. I am a small build 5’7″. 20 years ago, when I was a young and healthy 22 year old and exercised regularly, I weighed at most 145 pounds, for some perspective.
This is the first time in about a dozen years, I have ever tipped the scales below 200 pounds.

I guess we’ll have to get a lawyer’s opinion on that one (feel free to jump in here Balloon-Juice lawyers), but – as far as I know – political orientation isn’t a protected class or distinction.

A bit of an update for any St Louis peeps going to the St. Louis march today. I will DEFINITELY be at Howards afterwards as planned. Might not make the actual march, though. Poco was at the groomer yesterday, and she found a lump that concerned her. I’m not panicking but am trying to get him into the vet today before 2:00 pm. We are leaving Tues or Wed, driving to NC, for extended trip (working on the house that I grew up in, my mom died a little over a year ago). I feel like I should get this looked at before we get in the road. My best to everyone going to the marches. Nothing has changed about a possible meet up as posted.

Are you still considered a nurse once you become a physician? I would assume it would be hard to keep up with the continuing education requirements to keep your nursing licence current.
tobie
@Gvg: She’s a nurse with a PhD (in nursing, I believe). I have nothing against this woman. It sounds like the job fell to her because she was already a deputy under SG Murthy. Like others, though, I’m sure the White House asked for Dr. Murthy’s resignation for purely political reasons. Republicans always vilify SGs appointed by Democrats. Remember how they went after Dr. Joycelyn Elders, the first African-American SG, for her views on birth control and the criminalization of drug use? It was a sorry spectacle, aided and abetted once again by the so-called ‘liberal media.’

Hey morning peeps. The weather here near Boston is rotten, but my son and I are still planning on going to the March for science — probably head to the Commons at 1 absent other holdups. My son is doing his part for science and his robotics team is heading to the World Championships in St. Louis next week. Such a good yet tiresome teenager…. but that’s his job at 16.
Sadly, I will not be joining him because my wife is doing her bit for science — or vice versa — by intaking her huge doses of chemo. As some of you know, I represented death row inmates in Texas for about 12 years — all of the 90’s. And we used to say that the small group of lawyers for that client group was like an office of stage four oncologists. We would take a client who was terminal, throw whatever arguments and procedural moves we had at the case and generally hope to prolong life with no illusions that we would save many. But like the oncologists we saved a few!
Meanwhile, I want to thank everyone again for your kind thoughts and suggestions. Thank you! Especially the advice (from one of you morning folks I can’t remember, sorry) about the electric blanket. I read that and dug ours out from the way back of an attic closet just in case — and sure enough, day two after IV was all chills and temperature regulation issues. But I had the electric blanket magic machine!! So not only did you lessen my wife’s distress, you also helped me be a bit of a nice guy against all odds.

Last day in France! Rather than travelogue, two political notes. 1. In halting (on my end) conversation with my daughter’s co-workers in Bordeaux about their election, I discovered two things. All of ’em were undecided, but all also said they’d never vote for LePen. Hope’s company is an exporter of top shelf wines, so since their customer base is rich people, these folks lean right, but proper bourgeois right. Just a straw in the wind.
2. Walking around today, came to Place de la Republique. Demonstration of some sort was in progress. Banners, speakers yelling on bad sound system, maybe 500 people. Was not campaign related, that’s not allowed the day before election. Demo was being totally ignored by passers-by, shoppers, people sitting in nearby cafes, etc. Seemed totally harmless. BUT, there were more cops in the vicinity than there were demonstrators, regular police and the CRS (riot squad). Loaded for bear, too, shields, tear gas guns, visored helmets, the whole deal. Watched for 15 minutes and nothing happened. I guess the police are a bit on edge, and I don’t blame them a bit, but it was weird.
