The US government shutdown ended after 43 days when Donald Trump signed a budget agreement in the Oval Office.The agreement, passed with a party-line vote of 222-209 in the House, includes funding extensions through January 30, 2026, and a provision allowing senators to sue the Justice Department if their phone records are accessed without notification.Over 670,000 federal employees were furloughed, while about 730,000 worked without pay, causing disruptions such as airport delays and increased food bank demand.
