Government Shutdown Ends as Vance Comments on Schumer

Outlets report that a funding package ended the government shutdown and that Schumer's handling of the fight drew scrutiny. Left-leaning outlets portray Schumer and Democratic leaders as accepting a deal despite public opposition, framing it as a concession to Republicans and Trump. Center outlets focus on calls for Schumer to step down and Loomer's defense, which casts criticism as part of an alleged effort to remove Jewish voices from politics. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Schumer's opposition to the deal and assign him responsibility for the shutdown, with Vance predicting political fallout.
