🇺🇸 The Federal Government Has Reopened After 43 Days — Here’s What That Means for You
After the longest shutdown in U.S. history, a new funding bill has officially reopened the federal government. Federal employees return to work, museums and parks reopen, food assistance resumes, and travel delays should begin to ease.
The bill funds the government through January 30, 2026, with some agencies covered for the full year. SNAP benefits are protected through September 2026, and all federal workers are guaranteed back pay.
While this brings much-needed stability for families and communities, some issues — like long-term health-care subsidies and future funding negotiations — remain unresolved.
Staying informed helps us all understand how these decisions impact daily life. 🇺🇸✨
