House Poised to End Government Shutdown After Senate Approval

The U.S. Senate approved a stopgap funding bill to end the government shutdown, which now awaits House approval and President Trump's signature. The measure funds the government through January 30 and includes provisions for federal employee backpay and SNAP funding, but does not extend ACA subsidies, leading to ongoing political negotiations. The House is expected to vote soon, with further discussions on healthcare reform and full-year funding still pending.
