@CookingIssues When doing sous vide, I like to salt hours early, say, with pork tenderloin. I also like to sear twice. What's your advice: should I do the first sear pre-salt or post-salt (salting way early, and searing just before putting in the water bath)?

I just left the tent city at Tornillo. It is a child prison camp. They refused our request to speak with the children who are held there.

As someone who has had my press credentials denied by authoritarian China, I never thought I'd see this crap happen in the US. And this "most reporters are okay but @Acosta is aggressive" thing is the EXACT line Chinese propaganda printed about me. It's a tactic, people.

[Matt Dornic @mdornic]

Absolutely shameful, @PressSec. You released a doctored video - actual fake news. History will not be kind to you.

[Gary Shteyngart @Shteyngart]

It can happen here.

Nothing good can come of a week like this in world history, but one thing at least is clear.
Nobody needs to ask themselves any longer what they would do if fascism came back.
What are you doing right now?
Well, that’s what you’d do. Because it’s back. It never really left.

Proud to be a part of the party who’s ideology doesn’t consistently inspire DOMESTIC TERRORISM - mass shootings, Charlottesville, separating innocent babies from their parents, sending bombs in the mail in an attempt to murder people.

VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

The Trump administration is moving to exclude transgender people from civil rights protections — defining gender as either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals that a person is born with https://t.co/gfumft2fgt

Two scathing reports from DHS OIG about Trump administration treatment of migrants.

First says DHS wasn’t prepared for separations.

Second says one ICE detention center had horrific conditions including nooses in cells.

Latest, with @PeteWilliamsNBC. https://t.co/bSGr6LjMWZ

This story. "Hundreds of migrant children have been roused in the middle of the night in recent weeks & loaded onto buses with backpacks & snacks for a cross-country journey to their new home: a barren tent city on a sprawling patch of desert in South TX." https://t.co/YdgiAAF3za

Quitting your job to handcraft small-batch pickles takes drive, hard work, and usually, a little white privilege https://t.co/DCkhHmsWCz

BREAKING: The Trump admin just filed a proposal to rewrite the laws concerning the detention of immigrant children, undoing key protections from a decades-old settlement https://t.co/0FMh3AeZWa

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Don’t you forget that hundreds of children remain separated from their families by the federal government. I know there’s a lot going on, especially with the Kavanaugh hearings starting this week, but we cannot forget about what’s happening to these families. Keep speaking out.

[Samantha Power @SamanthaJPower]

These actions (denying passports, stripping citizenship, rendering ppl stateless) are what you see in countries notorious for perpetrating abuses against their own people, especially religious and ethnic minorities. Can it happen here? It can and is.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

A full month has passed since the deadline for the administration to reunite families it separated at the border, but 565 children are still waiting to see their parents again. #FamiliesBelongTogether

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

As Trump politicizes the death of an Iowan by speaking of "that incredible beautiful young woman," just remember there is *no number* of elementary school kids getting gunned down that could lead to Trump giving any thought to reforms that might help prevent *that* from happening
