What it does
Authorizes a congressional time capsule commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Why it matters
Low-stakes civic memory bill — useful contrast against the high-stakes reconciliation fights of the same session.
Progressive take
Commemoration is fine. Just do not let patriotic pageantry substitute for protecting the democracy being commemorated.
