DEVELOPING: Trump Signs Historic Spending Bill, Ending Record-Shattering Shutdown

Breaking News: Trump Signs Historic Spending Bill to End Record-Shattering Shutdown President Donald Trump has signed a short-term spending bill into law, effectively ending the longest government shutdown in US history. The bill was approved by the House of Representatives with a vote of 222-209 on Wednesday night, following a narrow Senate approval two days prior. The government will now "resume normal operations" after 43 days of suspended services, impacting around 1.4 million federal employees who have been on unpaid leave or working without pay. Food aid has been left in limbo, and air travel has been disrupted nationwide due to staff shortages caused by the shutdown. The shutdown, which began in October, had significant effects on various sectors, including air travel, with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reducing air traffic due to staff shortages. Members of Congress were also affected, with some facing disruptions to their travel plans. Government services are expected to reopen in the coming days, and disruptions to air travel are likely to ease ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. The FAA had reduced air traffic due to staff shortages, but normal operations are expected to resume once the shutdown is fully lifted. This is a developing story, with further updates to come as more information becomes available.
