Lawmakers reach deal to end government shutdown
- On Sunday, senators struck an agreement to end the 40-day government shutdown and reopen the U.S. government, pairing a three-bill minibus with a continuing resolution through Jan. 30.
- Operational strains — from airports to food aid — accelerated negotiations as U.S. airlines canceled more than 2,000 flights and SNAP disruptions affected 42,000,000 Americans.
- Shaheen, Hassan and King brokered the deal that sources say can reach 60 votes while maintaining a ban on pay raises and adding a $203.5 million security boost for Congress.
- If the Senate clears the measure, it still needs House approval and the president's signature; all 100 senators must agree to expedite consideration and the House must return amid travel disruptions.
- Progressives denounced the emerging deal, with Casar saying, `Accepting nothing but a pinky promise from Republicans isn’t a compromise — it’s capitulation,' and warning, `Millions of families would pay the price.
