Yep, that's right. We're just talking about two different things.
To visit the Senate gallery (located in the Capitol building) you need the gallery pass, so you should be good to do that.
To attend a committee hearing (located in Senate office buildings) as the original commenter suggested is much more difficult.

In the past you could just go in but currently all Congressional office buildings are closed to the public. To get in you need to have a staff escort.

Certainly that's the case for visiting the Senate gallery, but to get into Senate office buildings (where committee hearing rooms are), you'll need to be escorted by a Senate staffer, which may be quite tough to arrange.

Visitors still need to be escorted into Senate office buildings so they would need to get a staffer from an office to bring them in and then escort them out if they want to see a hearing. That would probably be pretty tough particularly since they are not a constituent of any Senator.

And are there really that many stores shutting down as a result? There were a couple of well-publicized ones earlier this year in SF but it doesn't seem like there's really an epidemic of stores shutting down due to shrinkage.

Tomorrow is likely to be one of the busiest days of the year.

So assuming you're in the office by 7am then, you're probably off by 4pm so it should be light for your commute home plus time for a little dog walk on standard time. Not bad.

Have you lived somewhere that the sunrises at 9:30-10am? I have and it's grim as hell

If we kept DST it would still be dark at 5:45. That's earlier than many people get off work.
Plus between November 24 and February 14 the sun wouldn't rise until after 8am (and for a good portion of time would be near 8:30am).
