US EditionSenators to work through the weekend on shutdown as Republicans and Democrats are still far apart

- Senate leaders and rank-and-file senators are working through the weekend to convene Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025 at noon as the 39-day government shutdown continues in Washington, D.C.

- With funding set to expire on Nov. 21, any deal would only promise a future health-care vote rather than guaranteed Affordable Care Act subsidies, and President Donald Trump appears unlikely to support an extension.
