House Votes to End Shutdown, Funds Lawmaker Security

House lawmakers return to Washington, aiming to end the longest government shutdown, with a vote on a bill that passed the Senate. The measure aims to reopen the government, but potential travel delays could make attendance tricky. The House has not been in session since September, drawing criticism from Democrats. The compromise bill includes a promise to hold a vote on extending health care subsidies, but many Democrats are expected to vote against it due to the lack of Affordable Care Act tax credits extension. The package also allocates funds for lawmaker security and Supreme Court justices, with a controversial provision allowing senators to sue if their electronic records are searched without notification.
