People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

We are delighted to be able to move the legislation today.

Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.

I think that's really disgraceful, and it's unacceptable that the local DC courts have vacancies that last years because the Senate fails to act in a timely way.
