US EditionSenate passes first stage of deal that could end government shutdown
- The Senate on Sunday advanced legislation to reopen and fund the government, including rehiring federal employees and funding SNAP through fiscal year 2026; the bill will return to the House before heading to President Donald Trump.
- With air travel and food aid disrupted, pressure grew to reopen the government as U.S. airlines canceled more than 2,000 flights and the Capital Area Food Bank provided 8 million more meals amid the 40-day government shutdown.
- Jeanne Shaheen, U.S. Sen. , Maggie Hassan, U.S. Sen. , and Angus King, Independent U.S. Sen. led negotiations while Nevada's two senators joined most GOP senators to advance the bill, with Republicans agreeing to a vote on ACA subsidies next month.
- The package advances three full-year appropriations bills forming a minibus funding military construction and veterans affairs, the legislative branch, and the Department of Agriculture, maintaining a ban on pay raises for lawmakers while adding $203.5 million security funding.
- Despite the vote, the agreement omits an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, and if subsidies lapse, premiums on average could more than double next year, Democratic critics say.
