Having reached its 41st day as of November 10, 2025, the U.S. government shutdown has broken records as the longest in American history, surpassing the 2018–2019 impasse. The lack of Congressional passage of funding for fiscal year 2026 on October 1st triggered the crisis, which has crippled federal activity. But on November 9, hope flickered as a bipartisan agreement gaining traction in the Senate suggested a stopgap funding measure to re-open the government until January 31, 2026, together with full-year appropriations for important industries including veterans' programs ($433 billion), military construction ($19.8 billion), agriculture ($27.1 billion), and congressional activities ($7.1 billion). Furthermore allotted in the package is $203.5 million for congressional security and $852 million for the U.S. Capitol Police.
The approaching expiry of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies on December 31, 2025, which help over 20 million Americans to buy health insurance, is at the core of the impasse. Led by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democrats have vehemently fought Republican proposals devoid of extensions, demanding safeguards for underprivileged groups. The developing agreement ensures a Senate vote on subsidy extensions—a concession from original Democratic demands that might open the way for wider resolution—thus avoiding automatic renewal.
With 900,000 federal employees furloughed and 2 million working without pay, the closure has been severe for departments including the EPA (89% furloughed), Department of Education (87%), and Department of Commerce (81%), disabling agencies. Essential services stalled; November saw SNAP benefits for 43 million beneficiaries suspended; however, court orders and state actions in locations like California and New York offered some relief. Air traffic controller shortages caused the FAA to demand flight reductions ranging from 4% to 10% by November 14, therefore worsening transportation chaos. With promises of backpay for furloughed employees and a freeze on widespread layoffs until January 30, Senate Majority Leader John Thune expects a vote on November 9 that has to be approved in both congressional houses and President Trump's approval to end the misery.
