Trump Signs Funding Measure Ending Government Shutdown

The House passed a funding measure that Trump signed, ending the government shutdown. The dispute over extending Affordable Care Act tax credits remained unresolved. Center outlets give a factual account of the bill’s passage and reopening, with the unresolved tax-credit dispute still in view. Right-leaning outlets mostly present the agreement as Trump’s victory over Democrats, though one also reports the bill’s passage and the unresolved dispute.
