Overview
- The House approved the amended continuing resolution on Nov. 12 after the Senate passed it on Nov. 10, and President Trump signed it the same day to reopen agencies.
- The measure funds the government through Jan. 30, 2026 and provides full-year budgets for some departments, including the USDA and the SNAP program.
- Federal employees will receive back pay as agencies resume operations following weeks of furloughs and unpaid work that contributed to flight disruptions and strained food assistance.
- The standoff centered on extending ACA-related subsidies as Democrats used Senate filibuster leverage, and the issue was deferred with KFF estimating premiums could more than double if aid lapses at year-end.
- Markets reacted positively to the reopening, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average topping 48,000 for the first time and the yen briefly weakening to the 155 level, according to Jiji.
