Summary

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) blocked a bipartisan bill Monday that would have barred President Trump from demolishing the Kennedy Center and other memorials to past presidents. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) sought unanimous consent to pass the measure, which also had support from Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), but Lee's objection prevented it from advancing without a floor vote.
