After 40 days of government shutdown, the U.S. Senate voted to break the filibuster and move forward with reopening the government. Eight Democrats joined Republicans to pass the motion 60-40, ending the deadlock on the 15th attempt. Senators King, Fetterman, Cortez Masto, Shaheen, Hassan, Rosen, Kaine, and Durbin crossed party lines. Republicans plan to amend the bill with full-year appropriations. Even CNN acknowledged Democrats bore responsibility for prolonging the shutdown.
