The Senate took the highly unusual step of working on the weekend to pass the USA Freedom Act -- after it failed to do so and took a whole week off for Memorial Day anyway, like all regular Americans do.

Smooth moves there, Paul.

The annual celebration is marked by berobed white citizens marching backwards across the Edmond Pettus bridge in an effort to turn back time.
