"The U.S. Senate passed the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act by unanimous consent at about 1:15 a.m. Saturday - a Hail Mary action that required the support of all senators present without objection."
"Passage of the legislation, which transfers control of the land to D.C. at no cost, is a tremendous win for Mayor Muriel E. Bowser, who has sought to turn the property surrounding the decaying football stadium into a major new attraction."
"The bill's passage was highly unanticipated: Just hours earlier, the RFK legislation was excluded from a spending bill that the House passed to avert a government shutdown, seen by most as the only remaining avenue for the bill before Congress adjourned."
