President Donald Trump has signed a bill to conclude the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, lasting 43 days. The legislation, which passed the House of Representatives with a 222-209 vote, aims to restore federal operations, including food assistance programs, air-traffic control systems, and the salaries of hundreds of thousands of federal workers. The shutdown, which began due to a standoff over federal health insurance subsidies, has left critical government services disrupted and economic data unreported. The new funding extends through January 30, 2026, but questions remain about the speed of full service restoration and the long-term economic impact. Economists estimate the shutdown reduced GDP growth by over 0.1 percentage points weekly, though most losses are expected to be recovered in the coming months. The deal also sets the stage for a December Senate vote on healthcare subsidies, though House Speaker Mike Johnson has not committed to a similar vote. The shutdown’s end comes just ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, offering hope for the recovery of air travel services and food aid programs. However, the political fallout remains unresolved, with public opinion divided over which party bears responsibility for the crisis. The House also faces renewed scrutiny over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and privacy violations related to the January 6 Capitol attack.
