President Trump signs bill to re-open the govt

Congress on Wednesday ended the longest government shutdown in US history, 43 days that paralyzed Washington and left hundreds of thousands of workers unpaid while Republicans and Democrats played a high-stakes blame game. The Republican-led House of Representatives voted largely along party lines to approve a Senate-passed package that will reopen federal departments and agencies, as many Democrats fume over what they see as a capitulation by party leaders.

“I just want to tell the American people, you should not forget this when we come up to midterms and other things,” Trump said in his late-night address. “Don’t forget what they’ve done to our country.”
