A breakthrough is forming in the Senate to end the 37-day US government shutdown — the longest in the nation’s history. Around ten Democrats are reportedly ready to back a bipartisan budget package that would fund operations through January, extend key Obamacare tax credits in December, and include aid for laid-off federal workers.

While talks are still ongoing, lawmakers described the move as the most significant progress in over a month. Senate leaders are preparing for a possible vote later today to reopen the government and restore full federal services.
