#USGovShutdownEnd?
The U.S. government has finally been shut down after 41 days of political stalemate, as the Senate approved a bill to fund the government until January 2026. This shutdown is the longest in U.S. history and has affected millions of Americans, including federal employees who have not received their paychecks, travelers who faced delays, and beneficiaries of food assistance programs.
The shutdown has led to the suspension of many government services, including aviation services, health services, and educational services. It has also impacted the U.S. economy, with experts estimating that each week of the shutdown costs the economy about $15 billion.
After intense negotiations, Republicans and Democrats reached an agreement to fund the government, which includes funding for essential programs such as food assistance and healthcare. The agreement also includes reinstating federal employees who were laid off during the shutdown and paying their back wages.
The House is expected to approve the bill, which will then be signed by President Donald Trump, thereby ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. history ¹ ² ³.
