US Government on Brink of Reopening After 40-Day Shutdown, Awaiting House Vote

The US government is close to reopening after a historic shutdown exceeding 40 days. The Senate passed a crucial funding bill late Monday night with a 60-40 vote, securing financial backing through January 31, 2026, contingent upon House and Presidential approval.

Due to a federal holiday, the House is not expected to convene until Wednesday to vote on the measure. Even with immediate passage, the return to full operation will take time; the SEC, for instance, has a plan to resume duties on the next business day following enactment. Prediction markets, such as Polymarket, suggest a return to normalcy by Friday. This reopening is vital for restoring the full functionality of federal agencies hampered by the lack of funding.
