We are devastated by the sudden loss of Gordon Wood. Known to many as one of the foremost scholars on the American Revolution, Gordon was also a teacher of generations of students and other historians who, like him, help us better understand who we are as a country and a people. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family, his many friends and all who he touched throughout his remarkable life.

Today from @pkcapitol: “What’s perplexing to the congressional supporters of C-SPAN (@cspan) is why such major corporations have put up a fight over something that is barely a rounding error to their financial books.” cc: @YouTubeTV @Google @hulu

Here's the text to the 20 changes to the "One, Big Beautiful Bill" included in the recessions package rule. If the "self-executing" rule is approved by the House, these changes to the OBBB would automatically take place. rules.house.gov/sites/evo-su…

39 years ago today, the #USSenate began televising its sessions, carried in their entirety by @cspan 2 as a #publicservice.
It took 7 years after the #USHouse launched TV for senators to agree to camera coverage.
