House Faces Showdown Over Bill to End Historic Shutdown
Daniel Compatangelo reports: This morning in Washington, all eyes are on Capitol Hill as the House prepares for a pivotal vote on the Senate-approved bill to end the nation’s longest-ever government shutdown. If passed, the plan would reopen federal agencies, restore pay for hundreds of thousands of workers, and restart key services stalled for weeks — from food aid to air traffic operations. But the path forward remains rocky. House Democrats are voicing strong opposition, criticizing the deal for omitting key social spending protections and accusing Republicans of forcing a compromise that leaves families behind.
