US government reopens after record shutdown, yet deep political rifts and funding uncertainties linger
– U.S. government reopens after 43-day shutdown, causing disruption and unpaid federal workers.
– Political divisions persist, with unresolved issues and nearly equal blame for the shutdown on both parties.
Discontent within the Democratic Party is evident, as moderates and liberals disagree on how to handle Trump’s presidency.
Federal employees affected by the shutdown will receive back pay, with payments expected to be completed by Wednesday. While Trump’s administration previously threatened to withhold pay, there are no current indications of this. The deal reached ensures that federal jobs safeguarded during the shutdown are maintained.

The Department of Homeland Security announced bonuses for security screeners who worked extra shifts. State funding for food aid programs will be restored shortly, assisting millions of Americans dependent on these resources.
Polling reveals nearly equal blame for the shutdown is placed on both political parties. Upcoming funding decisions pose the threat of repeating the shutdown cycle as concerns about national debt persist.
