Trump signs bill to end US govt shutdown, accuses Democrats of extortion, says this on Mamdani

President Donald Trump has signed a government funding bill to officially end the longest shutdown in U.S. history after 43 days of disruption. The bill’s passage brings relief to federal workers, restores critical services, and guarantees back pay while preventing further layoffs through January. The shutdown had disrupted travel, delayed key economic data releases, and affected food assistance programs nationwide. Trump's signing came just hours after the House voted to pass the measure, marking a turning point for government stability.
