As of November 10, 2025, the shutdown has already lasted over 40 days, making it the longest shutdown in U.S. history. Today, the Senate passed a bill to reopen the government, but it is not completely over yet. This is because the House also needs to pass the same bill, and finally, the President must sign it for the shutdown to truly end. If the shutdown continues, federal employees will miss their paychecks, and with fewer airport security inspectors and air traffic controllers, flight delays have exceeded 10,000 per day. There is also a risk of food assistance (SNAP) for low-income individuals being cut off. Currently, since the Senate has passed the bill first, the likelihood of the shutdown ending has increased, but the House also needs to pass the same bill quickly, and due to differing opinions between the parties, it may take a few more days.
