House votes to advance January-February appropriations bill ending 4-day partial government shutdown
On February 3, 2026, the House of Representatives votes to advance the appropriations bill that the Senate had passed on January 31. President Trump signs the funding bill hours later, ending the 4-day partial shutdown that had affected about half of federal departments. The shutdown lasted from January 31 to February 3, 2026. The resolution funds most agencies through September 2026 while extending Department of Homeland Security funding for two weeks, setting up another potential funding lapse as negotiations over DHS reform continue.
