Being a Republican senator seems absolutely wild. There appears to be a lot of shouting, and hiding in bathrooms, and sometimes you have to hang out with Ted Cruz. Also, this week, for their “Thursday Lunch Group,” GOP senators were treated to a dish called “hot beef sundae.” Wild!
The lunch was hosted by Iowa GOP senator Joni Ernst, and the theme was “Fare from the Iowa State Fair.” Dishes included Iowa pork chops, loaded tater tots on sticks, Mexican street corn, butter cows with rolls, and Iowa Blue Bunny ice cream, in addition to the aforementioned “hot beef sundae” (which is also, presumably, what Ted Cruz has started calling himself since growing out his beard.)
Loved showing my colleagues a little taste of at today’s lunch! Nothin’ says the Iowa State Fair like some: ???? Hot beef sundaes???? Iowa pork chops ???? Loaded tater tot on a stick ???? Mexican street corn???? Butter cow w/rolls ???? Ice cream from LeMars, IA

At least it wasn’t 100 cans of soup.
