Today is the 16th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

As of Sunday evening, the Senate was scheduled to reconvene at 3 p.m. It will observe a moment of silence in memory of those killed in the terrorist attacks 16 years ago.

The House canceled Monday votes, owing to the large number of expected absences due to Hurricane Irma.

Overheard on the Hill

“It’s kind of, ‘Where am I right now? What is going on?’”— Rep. Ryan A. Costello, R-Pa., on the irony of Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and OMB director Mick Mulvaney pitching the Harvey/debt ceiling/CR package after Democrats made a deal with President Donald Trump.

Happy birthday to …
