Senate Passes Funding Bill, Ending Shutdown

On November eleventh, the U.S. Senate passed a funding bill, potentially ending the longest government shutdown. The vote was sixty to forty, with nearly all Republicans and eight Democrats supporting. The bill funds the government until January, ending a forty-one-day shutdown impacting millions. After intense negotiations, the bill includes full-year funding for key agencies and guarantees back pay for furloughed workers. It also extends SNAP funding and includes a December vote on healthcare subsidies. The bill now moves to the House, where every vote will be crucial for final passage.
