Santa monica, california. In the book, a matter of time, route 66 through the lens of change, a photographer and historian nick gerlich capture scenes along the route that speak to its past. In amarillo, we rode along with nick gerlich, following the path of the old highway. Why do you think this highway is still popular today, even after decades after it was decommissioned . Nick it has a lot to do with nostalgia today. People want to revisit places that maybe they experienced as a child. That is a huge part of the nostalgia. But there is another kind of nostalgia as well. It is called anna moya. It is a desire to visit a place in the past that you never experienced. So for younger americans, and for International Tourists of all ages for whom route 66 was only something they had heard about, coming to route 66 by car or motorcycle or bicycle today is getting to visit a distant past that they have only seen in books.

Quorum call ms. Cortez masto mr. President , i rise today in opposition to it the nomination of lawrence van dyke to serve on the United States court of appeals for the ninth circuit. Mr. Van dyke fits neatly into this administrations pattern of picking federal judges for our Circuit Courts of appeal without meaningful input from home state senators. The president continues to select ideologically extreme nominees like mr. Van dyke, and the white house is putting forward people without enough experience for the momentous roles they have been chosen to serve. Mr. Van dyke has been nominated to fill a nevada seat on the ninth circuit, even though hes not a nevadan.

Would include the president s idea of getting funding for the wall also revisiting daca, something he rejected yearandahalf ago. Lets get the read, i think he is ready, fox news capitol hill producer chad pergram. What is going on . You talk to republicans on capitol hill think they can get to 60. All 53 republicans get together in the senate and you have to get a coalition of seven democrats. You might see doug jones, democrat from alabama, joe manchin from west virginia. You might wonder about democratic supports from outside of washington, d. C. , virginia, maryland, do they have federal workers to get 60 votes. They have to go through two rounds of 60, to get the bill on the floor, cut off debate down the roa
