First thing, tonight, enjoy it.
If you like to partake in a recreational, legal intoxicant, enjoy one in moderation.
And then tomorrow get back on the phone and get back to pressuring the Senate.
New goal: Consensus on plan by Friday, score over break & vote on Obamacare repeal following week – @burgessev & me https://t.co/p3DiCHVKH2

The current Republican plan is to see what Senate Majority Leader can do to make the bill worse while giving non-Tea Party Republican hold-outs visible media wins with carve out cash and plus-ups for visible priorities. The plan is for him to release $20 billion dollars to opioid treatment so Senators Moore and Portman can claim a victory. He’ll authorize a plus-up for Medicaid reimbursement for Alaska and Montana and Idaho for $5 billion dollars. It will be the saddest show of an old man making it rain to buy attention for himself.
And then they’ll try to jam the bill through once they get back from the 4th of July recess.
So keep on calling tomorrow.
