Day 41 of the government shutdown
The Senate is working to finalize the legislative package that would end the government shutdown, following a key vote late Sunday that saw eight Democrats cross the aisle to embrace a deal.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters he hoped to hold a final vote on the package "in the very near future," possibly as early as Monday. The chamber still needs to overcome several procedural hurdles to finalize the legislation, and any senator could delay the process.
The final version of the bill will extend government funding through January 2026 and include three year-long funding bills for various federal agencies and programs. In exchange for their votes, the eight Democrats secured a commitment that the chamber would vote by mid-December on extending health care tax credits that have been central to Democrats' demands. That angered many in the Democratic base, who wanted an extension in the deal itself.
The bill will still need approval from the House and the signature of the president before the shutdown ends. House Speaker Mike Johnson said members should begin returning to Washington "right now" in anticipation of a vote later this week, and Thune said he expects the president to sign the legislation

Brighton 2-1 Man City: Milner and Gruda's goals deny Haaland's milestone score
2025/2026 Premier League
2 - 1
Milner (67' PEN)
Brajan Gruda (89')
Haaland (34')
Match Report
Manchester City lost at Brighton for the second year running as they went down 2-1 at the Amex Stadium.
City took the lead in the 34th-minute as Erling Haaland prodded the ball home from close range. Brighton had been really poor in the first half and they didn't start the second much better, meaning Fabian Hürzeler turned to his bench.
His quadruple change turned the game on its head, with Brighton equalising midway through the second half from the penalty spot. Matheus Nunes was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area and James Milner made no mistake from the spot.
Both teams pushed for a winner late on but it was the home side who found the third goal of the game, with Brajan Gruda slotting home.
It's now two defeats in a row for City after last weekend's loss to Tottenham, meaning they have taken just three points from their opening three Premier League games.
