US EditionSenate passes bill to end government shutdown, sending it to House
- On Monday, the U.S. Senate passed a stopgap funding bill to reopen the government after the longest shutdown, with a 60-40 vote extending funding through January 30.
- The standoff grew from health-subsidy disputes over the Affordable Care Act tax credits that expire Jan. 1, with the shutdown starting October 1, 2025, and only five moderate Democrats switching to advance the deal.
- Crucially for workers, Section 120 voids reductions-in-force since Oct. 1, guarantees back pay for federal workers, and may halt separations of U.S. diplomats scheduled for Nov. 10, urged by AFSA.
- It now heads to the House of Representatives, where Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said he would like to pass it as soon as Wednesday, and President Donald Trump has called the deal "very good" and is expected to sign it.
- The package leaves unresolved a December vote on health-insurance subsidies benefiting 24 million Americans, while funding the SNAP program through Sept. 30, 2026.
