I understand Garland came to the hill to testify or offer reports or something

Gorgeous weather called on me to get out and about and enjoy it while it lasts.

Just wondering if anything interesting worth reporting on or something significant mentioned that came to light during his presentation/Q&A with Dems?

If I read you somewhat accurately, I'm glad I did manage to resist.

so long to get documents they request, etc. I wouldn't want a steady diet of it but it was about the business of the Senate, unlike the partisan political acts of the Republican Senators.
