US senators reach deal aimed at ending longest government shutdown in history
The US Senate on Sunday advanced a bill to end the government shutdown after moderate Democrats agreed to drop demands for an immediate extension of health care subsidies, angering progressives. Lawmakers voted 60-40 in a procedural step toward passing compromise funding legislation, with final approval expected in coming days.
