Senate Democrats, Republicans reach deal to reopen government
Senate Republicans unveil three-bill minibus in bid to reopen the government
By Alex Miller , Chad Pergram Fox News
Published November 9, 2025 3:12pm EST | Updated November 9, 2025 7:22pm EST

There are now enough Senate Democrats willing to back a revamped plan to reopen the government.

A source familiar with the newly-unveiled plan told Fox News Digital that there are enough Senate Democrats ready to join Republicans for a key vote Sunday night as Congress readies to reopen the government.

The latest development comes after an updated continuing resolution was revealed that would reopen the government until Jan. 30, 2026, reverse firings of furloughed workers carried out by the Trump administration and ensure that furloughed workers get back pay.

Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, R-Maine, led the bipartisan deal, but a trio of Democratic caucus members, Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., proved crucial in striking a way forward.

Lawmakers are expected to take the first of a trio of votes on reopening the government later Sunday night. But it will require action from the House before the closure is officially ended.

Earlier in the day, Senate Republicans unveiled another crucial piece of the puzzle in their bid to reopen the government and plan to plow ahead with a vote on Sunday.

While both sides still appear at an impasse on extending expiring Obamacare subsidies, appropriators moved ahead with a package of spending bills that Republicans hope will jumpstart the government funding process, and lead to an end to the 40-day government shutdown.

The Senate Appropriations Committee released the three-bill spending package, known as a minibus, Sunday afternoon. Lawmakers are still waiting on text for an updated continuing resolution (CR), that, if passed, is expected to reopen the government until late January.

It includes legislation that would fund military construction and the VA, the legislative branch and agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration.

That was exactly my first thought and what could possibly go wrong with Collins leading the 'bipartisan deal'? Somehow I get the feeling that the deal pivoted towards the DEMS.

Well ... at least all the Libs are furious with Schumer, so whatever the deal is the Liberal lunatic base will consider it a loss.

10 thoughts on the shutdown. But, really, you don't have to reads these. there's a lot of takes out there.

1. Dems clearly lost on their main objectives: extending subsidies+ ending rescissions. Can't spin that
2. Dems run real risk of depressing a base that just began to think they were fighting/had a winning hand
3. Dems succeeded in elevating health care as a salient issue.
4. Trump does now take ownership/heat for premium hikes to come
5. Hostage taking works. Especially around SNAP and flights. Lawmakers got spooked.
6. It's not the worst thing in the world so try and save hostages!
7. But it doesn't bode well for future shutdown fights (and there will be more) that Republicans know they can do this.
8. And yet.... Dems have apparently removed SNAP as a hostage for any future shutdown fight (not insignificant)
9. Dems believe that RIFs are now off table. The CR language forbids them (and if they extend the CR, they will remain forbidden). Plus, judges have ruled you can't RIF during a shutdown (should we end up back in one).
9a. Trump will surely challenge this.
10. Almost all of this won't impact the midterms. At this point in the 2013 shutdown people were convinced Republicans had just screwed themselves. Within days everyone was talking about a failed website launch related to the health care law whose subsidies we just waged a shutdown over.

This may fall apart especially in the House
