“The U.S. Senate voted for the 13th time and failed to reopen the government Tuesday. Democrats won’t back down from their insistence on funding for health care, and Republicans won’t agree to it. The government shutdown is on Day 28. Senators voted 54-45 on the funding patch that would fund the government until Nov. 21. It needs 60 votes to pass. Three members of the Democratic caucus voted for the House-passed funding bill: Sens. John Fetterman, D-Pa.; Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.; and Angus King, I-Maine.” [editor’s note: The GOP can use the “nuclear option” to end the shutdown by majority vote, any time the GOP wants the shutdown to end; but the GOP doesn’t want the shutdown to end yet – TLK] (10/28/25)
