House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.
Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes. Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand βready and willing to takeβ up standalone legislation to pay troops.
A few minutes ago in the House:
- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week
- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

"There is also a web version of the app. We recommend this version for people who are not comfortable using mobile devices."
