The U.S. Senate has passed a compromise proposal to end the ongoing partial government shutdown, clearing a significant hurdle on Monday evening. The bill now moves to the House of Representatives, where it faces a crucial "rules vote" on Tuesday. This procedural vote requires a simple majority to allow debate and proceed to a final vote. The current shutdown, affecting approximately 78% of federal agencies, has entered its third day after Congress missed the January 30 deadline to submit spending bills to Trump. Previously, the House passed initial bipartisan funding bills for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, but faced opposition from Democrats due to Trump's immigration policies in Minneapolis.
