Johnson urges House to return to Washington for shutdown vote

TL;DR Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that lawmakers should return to Washington to resolve the government shutdown, which was temporarily broken by a bipartisan Senate vote to fund the government until late January. The legislation includes protections for federal workers and bipartisan funding for various government functions. However, disagreements remain over health care subsidies, with Democrats criticizing the deal and Republicans debating further reforms. The shutdown's end is imminent but not guaranteed, with ongoing negotiations and potential delays.
