A bit late in the day, but here goes:
- Senate approves bill to overhaul immigration (WashPost) — That’s one miracle, comprehensive immigration reform getting through the Senate. Now we need a bigger one for the House to pass anything remotely like it.
- Boston Bombing Suspect Is Indicted on 30 Counts (NYT) — He’s charged in four deaths, including that of the police officer.
- View of what Bull Street neighborhood might look like emerges (thestate,com) — The story says “What the proposed Bull Street neighborhood might look like became a litter clearer Thursday…” Presumably that will be fixed in the print version.

Meanwhile, The Guardian is still acting like what Snowden has to disclose is a big freaking deal, playing it above all actual news in the world.
- Live: Results of Senate votes on Haley vetoes (thestate.com) — I can’t tell whether they’re still at it or not…
- Voyager 1 is still in the sun’s embrace (WashPost) — Meanwhile, in news from the outskirts of our solar system…

I don’t think it will happen, though. Boehner has been cut off at the knees.
