Direct answer: As of now, President Trump signed legislation to reopen the federal government on November 13, 2025, ending the shutdown and funding operations through January 30, 2026, after which lawmakers will need to address funding again. Services began resuming the following morning. Context and details:
- Timeline: The bill was signed late on November 13, 2025, with agencies beginning to reopen on Thursday, November 14, 2025. This aligns with public reports that the signing occurred in the evening and that government operations were set to resume the next business day.
- Scope of funding: The enacted measure provides funding to keep the government open through January 30, 2026. This creates a temporary funding patch while a longer-term appropriations agreement is negotiated.
- Context of announcement: Multiple outlets reported the White House and President’s schedule for signing, including on-camera signing from the Oval Office, indicating a formal conclusion to the shutdown.
- After-effects: Federal agencies began ramping up operations and services in the days following the signing, with analyses noting that some programs will have to reconstitute staffing and paperwork processes.
