The U.S. Senate has approved a stopgap spending bill that will end the longest government shutdown in American history once the measure is passed in the House of Representatives.
The Senate-passed package will provide stopgap funding for much of the federal government through January 30, giving lawmakers a couple more months to work out agreement on nine of the dozen full-year spending bills.

The package holds several other provisions, including the full-year appropriations bills for the Agriculture Department, the Legislative Branch, military construction projects and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs as well as the reinstatement of thousands of federal workers who received layoff notices during the shutdown.
The 60-40 vote on Monday evening sends the updated funding package back to the House of Representatives, where lawmakers in that chamber could vote on the legislation as soon as Wednesday.
The bill would then head to Donald Trump’s desk for his signature. Trump has said he will “abide by the deal.”
There’s still a huge mess on hand including more and more cancelled flights. It should come as no surprise that consumer sentiment is at its lowest level since 1951. #SoMuchWinning
Oy vey! Breaking records you don’t wanna break: November has the worst ever consumer sentiment of current conditions since 1951.
~80% of pure independents disapprove of Trump on the economy.
This holds & the GOP is likely waving adios to their House & maybe Senate majorities. pic.twitter.com/qCoA7E5Vo0
