It’s Thursday, November 13, and on Monday, November 10, the Senate approved a funding bill to end the longest US government shutdown ever. After a 43-day stalemate, the bill was sent to the House on Wednesday, November 12, for a final vote that could come as soon as today. ✨
With flights canceled or delayed nationwide, travelers have been posting viral videos of packed airport terminals and makeshift camps on TikTok. ✈️ House members are racing back to Washington amidst this chaos, determined to reopen federal agencies and resume pay for furloughed workers.
This shutdown has felt like a real-life Netflix drama—cliffhanger after cliffhanger—keeping even casual news fans glued to their screens. But if the House signs off today, the president is expected to green-light the bill immediately, lifting the shutdown and pumping funding back into government services.
As holiday travel ramps up and students watch from abroad, many are breathing a sigh of relief. Stay tuned to amigonews.net for the latest updates on this high-stakes political showdown! 🚀
