📰 Senate Reaches Deal to End Shutdown
The government is officially on track to be back open, but the details on the deal have been a bit confusing.
To sum it up, Democrats were demanding Republicans extend the Obamacare tax credits for insurance companies, while Republicans refused to do so, and demanded a bill that simply funds the government.
The two sides compromised by agreeing to hold a vote on the Obamacare credits by January, and passed a bill that will fund the government through January 30th.
