Johnson urges House members to return to Washington as shutdown nears end
TL;DR
The U.S. government shutdown is nearing an end after a bipartisan breakthrough, with the Senate taking a key procedural step towards passing a deal that includes full-year appropriations bills and a temporary funding resolution through January 30. House Republicans are expected to support the deal once President Trump endorses it, while some Democrats and GOP hardliners may oppose certain provisions. Key issues include hemp language in the agriculture bill and potential legislative proposals on healthcare and stock trading restrictions.
