US Senate advances funding bill in key step to end shutdown
The US Senate voted 60-40 on Sunday to break a Democratic filibuster and advance government funding legislation, marking a crucial step toward reopening the federal government after a five-week shutdown.
The procedural vote came after eight Senate Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, which includes a commitment to hold a later vote on extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) health care subsidies and to reinstate federal employees laid off during the shutdown.
