The four-foot-tall capsule, which is meant to be sealed for the next 250 years, includes a mix of items intended to reflect where the nation is today.
"I hope that when members of the 244th Congress open this time capsule and view the items that we have placed inside of it, they'll be able to learn from our history, our experiences, and our values and carry that with them as they work to ensure that the next 250 years in American history might be even better than the 500 that will have passed at that time," he said.

The Selma demonstrations had taken place and the Edmund Pettus Bridge that we all remember, the peaceful marchers were coming across the bridge. They encountered the Alabama state troopers. They were fell to the ground. The horses went into the ground. The Billy clubs and whips were used on them, hospitalized. And it was all captured on television. So it fired the conscience of the country. And Johnson decided all of a sudden, I've got to give a speech on voting rights. He was going to plan for voting rights to be in '66. So '65 could be the Great Society year. But he knew he had to do it right then, which meant that Dick had only one day to write that speech. Normally, as you know, it would take weeks to write a speech to a joint session of Congress. So he got in his office at 9:00. He's told he h...

- Quick comedy question:
Can you name a time when, during an oral argument, a Supreme Court Justice made everyone laugh?
How about December 11th, 2000:
KLOCK: I think what the Florida Supreme Court should do in that instance is note the very tight restrictions that exist under the protest phase. They require that you find voter intent with respect to a damaged ballot. They also vest it in the canvassing board, and the canvassing board is composed of a defined group of officials, a county judge, the elections supervisor and the chairman of the county commission. It is very limited.
SOUTER: But that means the court apparently cannot define "legal vote."
KLOCK: That's correct.
SCALIA: Mr. Klock? I'm Scalia.
KLOCK: Yes, sir; I'll remember that.
That was Justice Antonin Scalia's legendary crack to a forgetful attorney during Bush versus Gore.

"I said I'm not signing the housing bill. I want to see what happens with SAVE," he told reporters, referring to the SAVE America Act, which would impose strict new rules for registering to vote and casting ballots, among other changes.
"I know housing better than anybody maybe anywhere. It's all about the interest rate. Lower the interest rates and you're going to have all the housing you want. But you have to understand, I don't want to hurt people that own houses."

"We had a really great meeting, and we're very proud of the party," he told reporters. "We like our leader, we like everybody, really, in the room. I don't like a few people, but that's okay. I think you know who they are."
Asked whom he was referring to, the president said, "I'll give you that information someday. But for the most part, we have a really unified party."
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who recently lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger, got into a shouting match with the president over the Iran war, which he called a "blunder."
"I stood and said, 'You have not told the American people what's going on. It's lasted four months, our original objectives have not been achieved, and I want to know what's going on,'" Sen. Cassidy told reporters afterward,...

- Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) on Wednesday grilled U.S. Postmaster General David Steiner after he denied knowledge of a large pile of undelivered mail found in his home state.
"The Postal Service promised the public and me when this was discovered that there would be a full accounting of this, we would find out what happened and we'd have a full and total investigation and complete transparency — and since that time, I've heard nothing," the senator told the U.S. Postal Service chief during a hearing.
"It's the first time I've heard about it," Mr. Steiner replied.
The stack of missing mail from April consisted of tax documents, bills, letters from health care providers and more, with some dating back to January.
Sen. Hawley said the postmaster general should resign if things don't get better, and pressed him on why he was accepting bonuses as the Postal Service struggles with on-time deliveries.

- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Wednesday slammed President Trump for canceling his signing of a major bipartisan housing bill as he waits for progress on an unrelated elections bill, the SAVE America Act.
"Trump is running away from one of the very few accomplishments that could actually help the American people," Sen. Schumer said on the floor. "Any time there's an opportunity for Trump to help the American people, he runs the other way, comes up with some idiot thing in his head."
The housing bill, called the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in both chambers earlier this week, aims to increase housing supply and bring down costs.
Despite being a major priority for lawmakers in both parties, who see it as a way to address Americans' affordability concerns, President Trump called it a bill of "minor importance" and demanded that Congress first pass the SAVE Act.

- Washington Today (6-23-26): Senate joins House in passing symbolic Iran War Power Act resolution

- Description
- Senate passes an Iran War Powers Act resolution to require the President to withdraw U.S. military forces. House also passed it, but it is symbolic. It will not go to the president desk for a signature or veto, and therefore has no force of law.
President Trump insists Iran will allow international nuclear inspectors to enter their country, despite what they are saying now, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio begins a tour of Gulf states to shore up support for the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran that has halted the war.
Senators are asked today about President Trump's planned visit to Capitol Hill Wednesday to meet with Senate Republicans to talk about the Iran War and the SAVE America Act to require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote.

- Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) on Tuesday delivered a floor speech outlining President Trump's alleged corruption and self-dealing during the first 500 days of his second term.
"Over the last year and a half, our president, Donald Trump, has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis, and we should start acting like it," Sen. Murphy said.
"The president's goal is to engage in so much corruption, so much self-enrichment, to hand out so many favors to his friends, his family, and his political allies, that it just becomes the pitter patter of rain. It's normal. It's constant. It's never-ending. Trump's bet is that if there is a new story of corruption, of self-dealing every few days, that the press will stop covering it, or the public will just stop paying attention."

- Description
- President Trump on Tuesday said the Iranian officials who say they have not agreed to allow nuclear inspectors into their country are "wrong."
"They're wrong. They know they're wrong," he told reporters after landing at Reading Regional Airport in Pennsylvania. "They told us inside and we have it down, 100% inspections. And if they were right, I'd cancel the meetings right now."
The U.S. claimed that Iran had agreed during the weekend negotiations in Switzerland to invite International Atomic Energy Agency experts to its nuclear sites.
But Iran's foreign ministry denied that was the case, saying the country had made "no new commitments" regarding its nuclear program.
President Trump said he was in "no rush" for inspectors to enter the country, telling reporters they would be on the ground "at the appropriate time."

- Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday announced the Justice Department has charged 455 defendants for alleged health care fraud involving over $6.5 billion.
"This announcement marks the greatest combined federal and state effort in combating health care fraud in history," he told reporters at a briefing.
The Justice Department said the defendants, including 90 doctors and other licensed medical professionals, submitted false claims to Medicare, Medicaid and other health care programs as part of the scheme.
"We're taking back the money, the luxury cars, the jewelry and these alleged fraudsters will face justice," the acting AG said.
The cases stem from the Trump administration's establishment earlier this year of a new task force to combat fraud.

"At the federal level we should abolish the IRS. There are 93,000 agents at the IRS. I think we should put a padlock on that building and put every one of them down on our southern border," he said in Columbia.
"Can you imagine you're coming to this country illegally through heat, through incredibly difficult circumstances, you get across the river, and the first thing you see is 93,000 IRS agents? You'd turn around and go home too."

"I don't know why they have to say the things they say, whatever their internal or domestic politics is," he told reporters upon arriving in Abu Dhabi.
"We know what they agreed to do. Now they'll either do it or they won't. And if they do, the process moves forward, and if they don't, the president will have some decisions to make."
President Trump and Vice President JD Vance said Iranian negotiators agreed during the first round of talks in Switzerland to invite inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to some of their nuclear sites.

- President Trump on Monday reiterated his claim that vandalism was the cause of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool's new coat of paint peeling off following his $16 million renovation.
"They went in there with a knife," he told reporters in the Oval Office. "They cut it very violently."
The president did not provide any evidence for his claim but said five people have been arrested and suggested evidence would be presented in court.
He said the pool would likely have to be drained again to repair it, saying vandals cut a 300-foot-long gash in the pool and poured in corrosive chemicals.
The president also claimed algae growing in the pool was caused by fertilizer being dumped into the water.

All the stuff you love is an historian, but he wouldn't open them because he was so sad. The way the decade ended with all these Martin Luther King killed and riots in the streets, until finally he turned 80. And that was the moment he comes down the stairs singing, 'oh, what a beautiful morning.' I said, 'what's going on?'

To coincide with the opening of T.R.'s Library, Professor Cullinane has written a book titled "Theodore Roosevelt and the Tennis Cabinet." He credits Mrs. Roosevelt with building a tennis court right outside the president's West Wing office.

- Doris Kearns Goodwin: "Lincoln had the normal human emotions we all do, of envy or anger or jealousy, but he knew that they poison you somehow, so he was able to let those things go. If somebody had hurt him in the past and he wanted to be friends with him in the future, he wasn't going to go back to that. So every time you feel like one of those emotions is welling up, I just think Abe would tell me, don't do this. And I told the same thing to Spielberg when he was going to make the movie about Lincoln. I told the same thing to Daniel Day-Lewis when he was going to be playing Lincoln, and they both said they felt somewhat that they were a better person at the end for having done it."
