Overview
- The Senate approved a transition funding bill 60–40, with seven Democrats and one independent joining most Republicans to advance the plan.
- The measure would finance government operations through the end of January, provide back pay to furloughed employees, and reverse shutdown‑era terminations.
- SNAP food assistance would be restored, with coverage reported to extend through the next fiscal year for roughly 42 million recipients.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson said the chamber will reconvene for a vote as soon as Wednesday, and President Donald Trump called the compromise "very good."
- The core dispute over health‑insurance subsidies remains unresolved with only a promised December vote, as flight cancellations and delays continue to worsen ahead of Thanksgiving.
