US Shutdown Ends: Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, accused Democrats of a “selfish political stunt” after Congress voted to end the longest government shutdown in American history. The House passed the funding bill 222–209 following a 60–40 Senate vote earlier this week. Johnson blamed Democrats for using “the American people as leverage in a political game,” saying the shutdown left millions without paychecks and disrupted key services.
The new funding bill will keep the government running until January 30, while both sides prepare for renewed clashes over healthcare and spending priorities.
