- The US government reopened after a 43-day shutdown, the longest in American history.
- The shutdown began when Democrats refused to approve the funding bill unless it included an extension of Affordable Care Act (ACA) health-insurance subsidies.
- Republicans rejected adding the ACA subsidies, causing a deadlock in Congress.
- Without an approved funding bill, federal departments ran out of money, triggering a government shutdown.
- President Trump has signed a temporary funding bill restoring federal operations until January 2026.
- The bill does not include health-insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which was the core of the dispute with Democrats.
