Okay this would be cool "Congressional leadership will determine the contents of the time capsule, and the time capsule shall be sealed until July 4, 2276"
The House is beginning up to 40 mins of debate on H.R. 6394 - Semiquincentennial Congressional Time Capsule Act, as amended (Sponsored by @RepBonnie / House Administration Committee).

King told me today he decided to vote for Divine after he spoke with Hawley (who Divine previously worked for) “and he convinced me that he would be a capable judge”
.@WeDemandJustice is quite mad at Sen. King (an independent who caucuses with the Dems) for voting to confirm Joshua Divine to the Western and Eastern Districts of Missouri
🚨Sen. Murkowski signaled to @courtneybuble just now that she would OPPOSE Emil Bove’s nomination to the Third Circuit, telling us to “look at my vote from yesterday” as an indication of her stance. Murkowski voted against the motion to proceed on Bove’s nomination Tuesday eve.
🚨I asked Murkowski if she will support Emil Bove’s nomination to the third circuit She said to look at her vote on him from yesterday (She voted NO on the motion to proceed to executive session to consider Bove’s nomination)
Habba’s replacement has been ousted Not sure what happens next
The district judges in NJ just proved this was never about law—it was about politics. They forced out President Trump’s pick, @USAttyHabba, then installed her deputy, colluding with the NJ Senators along the way. It won’t work. Pursuant to the President’s authority, we have…
Motion to Proceed to Executive Session, agreed to 50-48. Majority Leader Thune filed cloture on the nomination of Emil J. Bove III to be United States Circuit Judge for the Third Circuit
Now voting: Motion to proceed to Executive Session for consideration of the nomination of Emil J. Bove III to be United States Circuit Judge for the Third Circuit.
Next votes TBD.
Two roll call votes are expected around this time: 1. Motion to proceed to Executive Session for consideration of the nomination of Emil Bove 2. Motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R.3944.
No way Vance being in Nantucket is messing up the Bove motion to proceed
Senate was due to start voting at 2:15 on a procedural motion for the Emil Bove nomination & then the first vote on the MilCon-VA funding bill But there are GOP attendance issues. Kennedy/McConnell/Mullin missed earlier votes. Meaning Bove vote would be a tie. Vance out of town

Durbin and Booker joined Schumer at his weekly briefing as he talks about the upcoming procedural vote on Emil Bove Schumer called Bove “one of Trump’s worst nominees” and a “trumpian henchman”

My coverage of that vote (which @courtneybuble reminds me was one of our first reporting team-ups). Then-RM Sen. Graham had said that Dems would open "Pandora's Box" if they went ahead with authorizing those subpoenas. Call this the box opened I suppose. courthousenews.com/pandemonium-in…
Booker told @courtneybuble that he didn’t expect things to go this way. “We thought I would call the rule for point of order. They overrule me. They have the ability to overrule me. They didn't even go through that parliamentary process,” he said.
