The longest shutdown in US history is over after President Donald Trump signed a funding bill to reopen the government. The House approved the bill earlier tonight in a 222-209 vote, with nearly every Republican, along with a handful of Democrats, voting for it.
It will take some time for things to return to normal. Travelers may continue to experience the shutdown’s effects on airports, with over 900 flights in and out of the US canceled today. When food stamp recipients will receive their full benefits will vary by state.
A funding cliff is imminent for January 30th 2026 as the CR provides funding until that date.
