URGENT: Congress Passes Emergency Funding Bill, Ending Record-Breaking Shutdown

Breaking News: Congress Passes Emergency Funding Bill, Ending Record-Breaking Shutdown The House of Representatives has approved a bill funding the government through January 30, ending the longest government shutdown in history. The bill passed 222-209, with six Democrats joining Republicans to secure the necessary votes. President Trump is expected to sign the bill, paving the way for federal workers to return to work on Thursday. Millions of Americans were affected by the 43-day shutdown, and the bill's passage brings a much-needed relief to those impacted. The bill extends last year's spending levels through the end of January, providing temporary funding for various government agencies. The shutdown, which began on October 1, saw a near-unified opposition from Democrats, with only two Republicans voting against the bill. Despite the narrow margin, the bill's passage marks a significant development in the ongoing budget negotiations. President Trump is expected to sign the bill on Wednesday night, and federal workers are expected to return to work on Thursday. This is a major breakthrough in the budget stalemate, but the long-term implications of the shutdown remain to be seen. This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
