The House of Representatives is set to resume operations after a record-breaking 54-day government shutdown, with Speaker Mike Johnson facing a challenging agenda. The immediate priority is passing the Senate-negotiated funding package, but Johnson’s efforts are complicated by a number of unresolved issues and tensions within the Republican Party. The shutdown, which ended the longest government closure in U.S. history, has left Congress in a state of limbo, with lawmakers returning to Washington after nearly two months of absence. This has created logistical challenges, including massive travel disruptions due to FAA flight restrictions, prompting Johnson to call for lawmakers to return to Washington by Tuesday evening to prepare for the upcoming vote.
