The crisis began when the United States Congress failed to pass temporary funding on October 1, 2025, leading to the longest government shutdown in the country's history. After 40 days of stalemate, the U.S. Senate supported a preliminary bill to reopen the government until the end of January 2026, with a promise of a subsequent vote on extending health support, paving the way for the end of the crisis. However, a significant faction of Democrats still opposes the agreement as a major concession, expressing concerns that it could lead to increased health insurance premiums associated with the ACA program for millions. Overall, the United States is moving towards ending the shutdown, but political tensions and social pressures remind us that the temporary solution is not the end of the underlying disputes.
