"The longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history - which has left scores of federal workers without pay, snarled air travel, disrupted the distribution of SNAP benefits to millions, and made Donald Trump even less popular - may be over soon. A small group of Senate Democrats have cut a deal with Senate Republicans to facilitate the reopening - which means the government might be back in action by midweek. Below are updates, commentary, and analysis on this developing story."

The longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history has left many federal workers unpaid, disrupted air travel, and interrupted SNAP benefit distribution to millions. The shutdown has also reduced Donald Trump's popularity. A small group of Senate Democrats reached a deal with Senate Republicans to facilitate reopening. The deal could reopen the government and restore pay, benefits, and federal operations by midweek. Restoring operations would alleviate travel snarls and resume SNAP distribution. Unpaid federal workers could receive back pay once appropriations are approved. Congressional action is expected imminently.
