President Donald Trump ended the longest federal shutdown in U.S. history yesterday, signing a bill to temporarily fund the government through January 30, 2026. The 43-day stalemate left thousands of workers unpaid and disrupted air travel 🛫, national parks 🌲, and public services—a crisis finally resolved after bipartisan negotiations.
🔑 Key Details: – The Senate approved the bill Monday, followed by the House on Wednesday. – Over 800,000 federal employees missed paychecks during the shutdown. – Major airports faced chaos due to TSA staff shortages. – This marks Trump’s third government shutdown since 2017.
📈 What’s Next? While federal offices reopen today, the funding deal is a short-term fix. Lawmakers now race to draft a long-term budget before the January 30 deadline. Analysts warn another shutdown could rattle markets 📉 and strain public trust ahead of 2026 midterm elections.
