The Buffett Rule was defeated in the Senate yesterday. The Democrats fell nine votes short of the required 60. Susan Collins voted with the Democrats. Mark Pryor crossed over to vote with the Republicans.

Space Shuttle Discovery is set to make its final flight today (though not under its own power) on its way to its final resting place at the Smithsonian. D.C. people, it'll pass over the National Mall between 10 and 11 am.
