Longest US Government Shutdown Ends After 43 DaysThe government reopened with funding extended to September 2026 for key programs, ending the 43-day shutdown that affected millions.
- The 43-day shutdown ended after Congress passed a spending bill approved by the Senate and signed by President Trump.
- The bill funds critical programs such as SNAP, WIC, and veterans' benefits through September 2026.
- Healthcare subsidy negotiations stalled, risking higher premiums for tens of millions of Americans.
- Federal workers return to their jobs with pay restoration, while airport delays gradually improve.
