Government shutdown updates: Trump signs government funding bill

House Speaker Mike Johnson, at his daily press conference, said Sunday's breakthrough is now "the beginning of the end" of the longest shutdown in history.

"After 40 days of wandering in the wilderness and making the American people suffer needlessly, some Senate Democrats finally have stepped forward to end the pain," Johnson said. "It appears to us this morning that our long national nightmare is finally coming to an end, and we're grateful for that. At least some Democrats now finally appear ready to do what Republicans and President Trump and millions of hard-working American people have been asking them to do for weeks."

In light of developments on Capitol Hill, and with the clock ticking on an administrative stay of an order that U.S. Department of Agriculture fully fund SNAP payments for November, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has asked the Trump administration to indicate by 11 a.m. on Monday whether it still intends to pursue a full stay of the payouts.

Assuming the administration does, she wants both sides to submit any supplemental briefing materials.

It was a key turning point on Capitol Hill on Sunday night, with eight members of the Democratic caucus joining with nearly every Senate Republican to advance a bill that could finally end the federal government shutdown.

But, there are still some additional steps that the Senate needs to take before they formally pass this bill and send it over to the House, and the key question now is how long those steps take. The Senate floor opens at 11 a.m.

Senators will be trying to move the funding bill quickly, but it takes unanimous approval of all 100 senators to do so. If there is an objection from even one senator, it would be enough to slow the process. Without unanimous consent, it could take the Senate hours or even days to finish working on this bill.

House lawmakers were advised late Sunday that votes on government funding were expected in the lower chamber this week, pending the potential passage by the Senate of a funding bill, according to an announcement from GOP leaders.

The notice states that members will receive 36 hours' notice prior to any votes.

The Senate on Sunday night voted to advance a deal with a 60-40 vote that would move toward funding the government. The vote was gaveled down to applause in the chamber at 10:49 p.m. ET.

Senators are expected back in the upper chamber at 11 a.m. ET on Monday.
