Re: today’s Muse of History: Harry Sinclair would ultimately be held in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena - losing his appeal six years later at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Huh. So 100 years ago, the system still worked. In 2024, Sinclair would likely be co-chairing a House committee -- or running for president.

When people tell me something 'has never happened before' in Congress, I figure it probably has - we just forgot about it

I appreciated all of your great insights on the border/Ukraine funding deal/no deal today. And instead of introducing legislation to ban them, it sounds like you all could use a few glue traps there in the press gallery. Yikes.

I work in an area that's up in the attic of the Senate side of the Capitol. We have traps everywhere. Glue traps, regular mouse traps, etc. I think only one time have I ever seen a mouse get caught. Otherwise, they drop from the ceilings, run across my desk, under my feet, down the walls, etc. We need a couple of cats up there.
