Trump signs spending bill to end longest US gov’t shutdown in history

On November 13, 2025, President Trump signed a spending bill that effectively ended the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. This shutdown had significant implications, disrupting federal services and impacting hundreds of thousands of government employees. The House of Representatives had passed the much-delayed bill just hours before Trump's signing, reflecting a critical moment in U.S. politics where bipartisan agreement was necessary to restore normalcy. The resolution of this shutdown is a positive development, as it alleviates the strain on federal operations and provides relief to affected workers. The event underscores the ongoing challenges within the U.S. government regarding budgetary negotiations and political consensus.
