The Senate would probably be a more efficient place if a senator who fails to vote in the allotted 15 minutes would lose their right to block unanimous consent requests for 24 hours.
Complex—Drink!
Congratulations to @SenatorCollins, who is about to cast her 9,000th consecutive roll call vote.👏
Capitol Hill reporters are great in general, @haleytalbotcnn is great in particular... But please stop with this "bail out GOP" language! A bipartisan coalition including MOST Republican members and MOST Democratic members is acting to move legislation. Let the chamber evolve!

@PhilipWallach @MikeCrespin Through all of this, I have not seen Members clamoring for more open procedures. For example, Rules Ds here could have conditioned their votes on opening up the process for the consideration of these bills. But they didn't. Seems like most Members are still happy....
Rep. Massie discovers the Origination Clause:
Rep. Massie discovers the Origination Clause:
Note that there's one common exception to this: McGovern right now is technically operating on time yielded by Burgess under the hour rule, but he is allowed to manage that time and yield it in blocks to others, as if it was his hour. Just part of the custom on rules debates.
"Strategically manipulating the House's arcane and byzantine rules, this Member sought political advantage through use of a obscure procedure to surreptitiously add words to a bill - a move some congressional experts describe as "completely routine wtf are you talking about""
The Republicans read @ringwiss too
One reason I oppose term limits: institutional memory. Yes, it’s true, Rules has been strictly partisan lately. And yet the House was not invented in 2013! For many decades, the Rules Committee was dominated by a BIPARTISAN conservative coalition. Members constrict themselves…

Important hat precedents from across the pond
When the Lords and the Commons held conferences, the peers' managers sat with their heads covered while MPs' managers stood bareheaded. Some MPs evidently didn't appreciate having to stand bareheaded for long periods of time. 1/8
This practice remained the norm until conferences fell into desuetude in the 19th century. All dates are in New Style. The screenshots in Post #2 are from the Commons Journal, while those in Posts #3 and #7 are from vol. 4 of Hatsell's Precedents. 8/8
They would wear their hats until they reached the bar of the room appointed for the conference, walk uncovered to their seats, and then put their hats back on. At the end of the conference, they'd stand up, remove their hats, and leave uncovered. 7/8
There was more hat-related drama in 1740 when the Lords' managers entered the room with their hats on, much to the chagrin of some MPs. This prompted the Upper House's managers to be more mindful of their headwear in the future. 6/8
