I think M’s fans are going to need some more wins from Humpy. (If you don’t know, the extra Salmon race last night was the first time Humpy EVER won against King, Sockeye and Silver.l And then the Mariners won!) #TridentsUp #Mariners

In the light of day, the insistence on taking millions of fans into the yawning abyss of hell that is a 15-inning game seems pretty difficult to justify. What were the Mariners thinking?

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

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 “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.
