Original: Senate leaders have finally pieced together a path to end the grueling 40-day government shutdown, with a bipartisan group unveiling a plan that could get federal workers back on the job and reverse recent disruptions. The agreement, hammered out by Republicans and a handful of Democrats, centers on a revamped continuing resolution to fund operations through January 30, 2026, while undoing firings of furloughed employees ordered by the Trump administration and guaranteeing back pay for those affected.

At the heart of the deal is a three-bill spending package, or minibus, released by the Senate Appropriations Committee. This covers funding for military construction and veterans’ affairs, the legislative branch, and agriculture along with the Food and Drug Administration. Republicans see this as a practical step to break the deadlock, attaching it to the House-passed continuing resolution for a Senate vote expected Sunday night.

Per pool: POTUS addresses the latest shutdown developments to reporters as he went into the White House tonight, saying it “looks like we’re getting very close” and then repeating: “It looks like we’re getting very close to the shutdown ending.”

The shutdown dragged on amid Democratic insistence on extending expiring Obamacare subsidies, a demand that stalled progress for weeks. Republicans have pledged a separate vote on those subsidies once the government reopens, tentatively scheduled for the second week of December.
