Government Reopens After 35-Day Shutdown

On November thirteenth, the US House of Representatives approved a short-term spending bill, ending the longest government shutdown in American history. The shutdown, which began on October first, had caused significant disruptions, including air travel safety issues and food aid for millions of Americans. The bill, which President Trump plans to sign, will keep the government open until January thirtieth, setting the stage for another potential shutdown battle. The central issue was the expiring healthcare subsidies for low-income Americans, with Democrats and Republicans unable to agree on a spending plan that included these subsidies.
