* From an email sent by Speaker Michael Madigan’s chief of staff Jessica Basham to all House Democrats…
There will be a House Democratic Caucus on Monday, October 28, 2019, immediately following session, in Room 114. The topic for caucus will be an overview of items up for potential consideration during the Veto Session.
* The Question: Your predictions for this caucus meeting?
Sounds to me like it’s just a setup for one of those fake “you just won the lottery” parties for parole violators - I recommend bringing a lawyer along just in case. “Surprise! It’s the Feds.”

I predict the items up for potential consideration will be the same as those the Speaker thinks should be up for consideration.
