flag Senate passes bipartisan deal to end 40-day shutdown, restoring funding and back pay.

flag The U.S. Senate advanced a bipartisan deal to end the 40-day government shutdown, passing a funding package 60-40 that restores federal operations, provides back pay to workers, and funds key programs like SNAP and VA facilities through January 30, 2026. flag Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) praised the agreement as a vital step, calling it a Veterans Day gift and stressing support for SNAP and Obamacare subsidies with reforms. flag However, Georgia Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock voted against the bill, citing concerns that it fails to protect millions from rising health insurance premiums and risks losing SNAP benefits. flag The House is expected to vote soon, with President Trump poised to sign if passed.
