1) Senate trying to punt science/technology bill until June 8. Will take procedural vote related to starting debate on 1/6 commission today
2) Fox is told the Senate will still take a vote to end debate on the effort to launch debate on the 1/6 commission bill today. That needs 60 votes.
3) We expect Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to file cloture on two district court judges, teeing up votes related to those on June 7.

1) A couple of notes about President Biden releasing his budget today. 

Remember one thing: budget proposals sent to Congress are aspirational. Press releases on steroids. They are phantoms. 

Never does Congress enact a President’s budget. Nor are they binding.
2) Budgets are mythical beasts. Budgets are simply wish lists. Ideas and priorities spelling out where a President would direct federal dollars if they got their way.
3) Yet lawmakers in both the House and Senate incinerate an inordinate amount of time embracing or criticizing a President’s budget proposal. 

Much of the money the federal government will spend this fiscal year - 70% - is already on automatic pilot, devoted to entitlements

B) The Senate meets today at 9 am et. Senators met until 2:51 am et today after the Senate found itself in a complicated tangle over the science and technology bill with a lot of Republican senators balking.
C) Unless the Senate is able to forge a separate agreement, it must first finish the science and technology bill before a critical, procedural vote on a measure to create a commission to investigate the January 6 riot.

1) The Senate is in a real tangle right now ovee a science and technology bill we thought senators would complete Thursday afternoon.
2) A coalition of several Republican senators are holding things up on a panoply of issues hours after leaders thought they would be able to advance the science and technology plan.
3) The Senate just voted to Instruct the Sergeant At Arms to Request the Attendance of Absent Senators, 84-7.

1) The Hitchhiker’s Guide On Why Today Is Such An Important Day For The Future Of The Filibuster
2) Today could be mark the beginning of the end for the filibuster in the Senate. 

The Senate today likely takes a procedural vote to launch debate on the bill to create a commission to study the January riot. That vote requires 60 yeas.
3) A handful of Republican senators will likely vote to begin debate - joining all Democrats. But it’s doubtful they get to 60 yeas. 

This will infuriate Democrats. They will argue Republicans don’t want to get to the bottom of January 6.

1) The House of Representatives fined multiple Republicans recently for failing to don a mask on the floor. $500 for a first offense. $2,500 for a second offense.

There’s a general premise on Capitol Hill that Members of Congress don’t like to be told what to do.
2) But, lawmakers agree to a certain set of rules – on which Members themselves vote – for how the House and Senate operate. A lot of those rules deal with how lawmakers comport and conduct themselves and respect the institution. Lawmakers may vote no or disagree with the rules.
3) But…

Them’s the rules.

Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution grants both the House and Senate the authority to establish their own rules. For a short period, or, practically indefinitely.
