Congress passes RFK bill in surprise move, giving D.C. control of stadium site
Briefly

"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."
