U.S. Government Shutdown Nears End as Senate Advances Funding Bill After 41 Days

U.S. Government Shutdown Nears End as Senate Advances Funding Bill After 41 Days

Story Highlights

After 41 days of shutdown, airport lines have grown longer, federal workers are still unpaid, and public frustration is boiling. But last night, for the first time in weeks, Washington showed signs of movement. The U.S. Senate voted 60–40 to advance a government funding plan, the most significant step toward reopening the government since the shutdown began . 

It wasn’t a final vote, just a procedural one. Lawmakers approved moving the bill forward, then abruptly adjourned until Monday at 11 a.m., leaving the government technically closed for at least another day.

If the final vote succeeds, several key federal departments, including Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, and military construction, will be funded for the entire fiscal year. The rest of the government would receive temporary funding until January 30, 2026, buying time for a longer-term deal. 

But even with the Senate making progress, the plan must also pass the House of Representatives before the government can officially reopen. House Speaker Mike Johnson wants the House to take up the bill by Wednesday, assuming the Senate finishes its part.

Democrats agreed to advance the plan only after securing two major commitments from the Trump administration. First, any federal worker fired during the shutdown must be rehired and must receive full back pay for every day lost. 

Second, the administration agreed to hold a vote in December on extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits, which help millions of Americans afford health insurance. These subsidies are set to expire at the end of the year, and without the extension, insurance bills could rise. The deal promises only a vote, not a guaranteed outcome.

Not everyone is satisfied. Progressive Democrats argue their party gave up too much. They believe Democrats should have refused to move forward until the ACA subsidies were guaranteed in the bill. Senator Elizabeth Warren and others say advancing the spending bill without securing those protections weakens their leverage.

Political commentator Adam Cochran said eight Democrats, most of whom are retiring, “caved without winning anything meaningful,” warning that healthcare costs could rise because of their decision.

According to Bull Theory , once the government reopens, nearly $953 billion in Treasury funds can start flowing back into the economy. Combined with the Fed preparing to end tightening in December, this means more liquidity. The SEC can resume work on altcoin ETFs, and pro-crypto bills may finally move forward. In short: more spending, more liquidity, and potentially bullish momentum for crypto.

For the first time in forty-one days, reopening feels within reach, but it still depends on the final votes. The country waits.
