Reid had threatened earlier this month to cancel the break, but unlike similar warnings in the past, the leader followed through on Wednesday.

Reid said the Senate would only work three days that week, taking off Columbus Day (a Monday) and the following Friday. The Senate would not vote until 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

Reid acknowledged the burden that the cancelled recess would pose on colleagues.

3. Good grief! They just got back to work from a disastrous break

Keep them in Washington where we can keep an eye on them. August was the longest month of the year, due to all the farce townhall meetings and staged performances by the GOP.

Lock them in a room until they come to an agreement. No potty breaks, either.
