when will government reopen

The US federal government officially shut down at midnight on October 1, 2025, due to the failure of Congress to pass a funding bill. The reopening of the government depends entirely on Congress passing a new funding agreement and President Trump signing it. Currently, intense negotiations are ongoing, with Senate Republicans planning to keep the Senate in session through the weekend to avoid further delay, but Democrats remain firm on demands related to healthcare subsidies. The House of Representatives will not reconvene until next week, which may affect the timing of a resolution. Therefore, the government will remain closed until a legislative agreement is reached, with no specific reopening date yet certain.
