The Senate and House of Representatives are in recess until November 12, when Members of the 113th Congress will return for what will likely be an abbreviated session, punctuated by action on a funding bill to keep government offices open after the expiration of the current Continuing Resolution which runs through December 11, 2014.  Whether that punctuation is a comma, colon, or exclamation mark remains a question (?).

Makeup of the 113th Congress (as of 10/13/2014):

HOUSE       199 D   233 R
SENATE      55 D      45 R
(incl 2 Independents caucusing with the Majority Democrats)

Prediction for the 114th Congress (published 10/13/2014):

HOUSE       202 D    233 R
SENATE       52 D      48 R
(incl 3 Independents caucusing with the Majority Democrats through 4/19/2015)
