The longest government shutdown in U.S. history has come to an end after 43 days.
President Donald Trump signed legislation on Wednesday night from the White House that reopens the federal government and starts to resolve the mass chaos the shutdown created.
Trump's approval came after the House of Representatives voted 222-209 earlier in the evening on a funding package to turn the lights back on, moving past a political mess that has lasted for more than a month and left millions of Americans unable to travel or afford food.
After weeks without pay, hundreds of thousands of government workers will head back to work in the coming days. Under the terms of the funding package, federal employees will be compensated retroactively even though they have not been on the job.
Shuttered preschool and food benefit programs will reopen. So will federal agencies and national landmarks. Despite delays, government data that's crucial to understanding the American economy will start circulating again.
