The Senate passed a stopgap funding bill lasting through January 30th after a more than month-long impasse that resulted in missed paychecks for federal workers, delayed food assistance, and air travel disruptions.
The package includes a trio of regular appropriations bills funding some parts of the government through next September, as well as language to reverse the shutdown firings of federal employees and ensure that federal workers get back pay.
But the deal does not include an extension of expiring subsidies for health insurance premiums.
Democrats have been promised a Senate vote on legislation to address the health care subsidies, but that does not guarantee it'll pass or get a vote in the House.

This administration is still going to the Supreme Court
To fight for the right to starve Americans.
Over breakfast at the White House, President Trump told Senate Republicans the shutdown hurt their party on election night.
The results have given some Democrats, like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, confidence to hold out for an extension of expiring health care subsidies.
The election results were not vague.
They were a lightning bolt.
Bipartisan talks among rank and file senators are continuing, but it's unclear if eight Democrats will back a funding measure without a firm plan to extend the subsidies that can also pass the House and get the president's signature.
Sam Greenglass, NPR News, Washington.
Congress has voted 14 times on a Republican-backed short-term funding measure to reopen the government.
And 14 times the vote has failed, as Democrats withhold their support until Republicans agree to extend expiring health insurance subsidies.
Some Republicans, like Senate Majority Leader John Thune, have been unmoved.
Shutdowns are stupid.
Nobody wins.
This week, some rank-and-file members have hinted that informal talks could produce a deal.
But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has not said what Democrats would be willing to accept.
