Active-duty service members won't get paid on time unless #Congress passes a separate piece of #legislation, as it did in 2013 with the "Pay Our Military Act," which ensured #military pay & allowances continued during a government #shutdown.
Rep Jen Kiggans (R-VA) introduced a bill in Sept with bipartisan support, the "Pay Our Troops Act of 2026," to keep members of the military & Coast Guard paid during a shutdown, but it did not pass in time because the #House is out of session until Oct 7.

Video posted on social media shows the moment #CharlieKirk was shot & the seconds leading to the incident. Kirk was being asked questions about #MassShootings in the #US.
“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?” a person asks. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk responds right before he is shot.
Speaker #MikeJohnson paused the #House in the middle of a series of votes to call for a moment of silence and prayer for #CharlieKirk.
Several Democrats objected, pointing out that the House had not given a #SchoolShooting in #Colorado earlier in the day the same treatment.
Also #Trump ordered all American flags to be lowered to half-staff until Sunday evening at 6PM in honor of Kirk, he didn’t mention the 3 students shot at Colorado #Evergreen HS.
Representative Jerrold Nadler, the ex-#House#Judiciary chairman who helped lead #Trump’s #impeachments, will not seek re-election in #NY.

Let's have a #SillyCuratorPrompts!
These prompts are for capturing the joy of creating with no stress about skill, like when we were kids!
Remember when we were little we'd draw that generic front-on view of a house, maybe a garden path, a fence each side, the sun and some fluffy clouds in the sky?
Let's all draw our dream houses!

After Republican Sen John Cornyn of Texas called on the FBI to help locate & #arrest Democrats who left the state to block a vote on a new congressional map, Trump said, “They may have to.”
“A lot of people have demanded they come back. You can’t just sit it out. You have to go back, you have to fight it out,” said Trump.
