Overview
- Eight senators—seven Democrats and independent Angus King—joined Republicans late Monday to pass a bill to reopen the government, moving the record shutdown toward an end.
- Democratic critics fault the agreement for failing to secure a long‑term extension of federal health‑care subsidies set to lapse on January 1.
- From Belem, Gavin Newsom said he was stunned by the decision and argued the senators are not alarmed enough about President Donald Trump’s disruptive politics.
- Newsom’s office labeled the compromise a “surrender” on X, and he later called it “capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.”
- At COP30, Newsom blasted Trump’s climate stance as “dumb,” highlighted California’s green‑tech push, and contrasted state action with Washington’s absence from the summit.
