Speaker Mike Johnson is signaling that the government shutdown's end is finally in sight. As he begins to map out the process, one crucial step remains: getting lawmakers back to Washington D.C.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Johnson has instructed the House to start making preparations for its return to session. The Speaker emphasized that this will only happen once the Senate passes a government funding bill. It is clear that with this hurdle being cleared, there's hope on the horizon that the prolonged shutdown will come to an end.
It remains to be seen when exactly lawmakers will set foot in Washington again, but one thing is certain: the next phase of negotiations is already underway. Johnson's willingness to call the House back into session underscores a shift towards progress and potential resolution.

I'm kinda hoping this government shutdown ends soon, it's been dragging on for ages and ppl are getting pretty frustrated 
gotta get those lawmakers back to DC and sort out their differences ASAP 
the Senate needs to pass that funding bill first tho 
and if Johnson is all in on making progress, I'm with him 
fingers crossed it happens soon 
finally some good news about the shutdown! I'm so over this whole ordeal, it's been dragging on for ages... my fave pizza place has had me waiting in line for orders since December lol. seriously tho, with Speaker Johnson at the helm, I think we can actually see a light at the end of the tunnel 
. It's all about getting those lawmakers to come back to DC and sort out their differences. fingers crossed it happens ASAP!
. I mean, we've been stuck with this shutdown for ages, and it's starting to take a toll on everyone - from the people who are actually working without pay to the tourists who are being affected by the mess.
. The fact that he's getting the House ready to return to session is a huge step forward. I'm guessing the Senate has got its act together already, so we can expect them to pass that government funding bill soon 
.
. I mean, we're a country with one of the highest-paying jobs in the world and yet, people are still struggling to make ends meet. It's time for some real change, you know? Maybe this shutdown can be the catalyst for that 
.
.
Let's hope they can put aside their differences and pass a funding bill already! A shutdown has so many negative effects on the economy and everyday people, it's time for a solution. 
. It's like they're speaking different languages or something 
. Getting lawmakers back to Washington D.C. is the key 
. And let's be real, if the Senate can just get on board with that government funding bill 
, we might actually see some progress soon 
. The fact that he's already instructing the House to prep for its return is a huge sign of hope 
. Fingers crossed that this shutdown ends soon and we can all go back to our normal lives without any more drama 
️. It's great that he's putting the House on notice to get ready for a return, but we gotta keep an eye out for those Senate hurdles 
. If they can iron out their stuff, I think we might finally start seeing some light at the end of this tunnel 
.
.
. I'm glad Speaker Johnson is taking charge and pushing for progress. This whole thing has been so frustrating for people like me who just want to get on with their lives.
whether you're a politician or a regular person, taking care of yourself and your mental health is soooo important right now 
so the house is getting ready to come back... that means we might see some real progress soon! i'm curious to know more about these negotiations, though - who's on which team? and what's the holdup in the senate? 
.
, I mean, a government shutdown is no joke, right? It feels like we've been stuck in limbo since forever, but if Mike Johnson's on board it gives me some hope that things might finally get back to normal. Like the 90s when we had those Clinton-era bipartisan sessions - they'd hammer out deals and pass laws without all this drama 
. Nowadays it feels like we're still trying to figure out how to work together, but if Johnson's signaling a shift towards progress that's gotta be a good thing! Let's just hope it doesn't take too long for lawmakers to get their acts together again 
! finally some hope that this shutdown is gonna end soon!!! i'm so tired of all the drama in washington D.C. 
. Can't they just agree already?! The Senate has been dragging their feet, and now it feels like the whole thing is stuck in limbo again 
At least if they're being honest, they should give us a straight answer about why the Senate hasn't passed that funding bill yet... some of this secrecy is just plain annoying. Can't we have transparency for once? 
. With the government shutdown dragging on for so long, everyone's been feeling the pinch 
. Johnson seems like he's trying to lead by example with his willingness to call the House back into session 
️. I'm curious to see what specific steps Johnson is taking to make this happen, and how long it'll actually take for lawmakers to get back on track 
️. One thing's for sure, though - if they can get past the Senate hurdle, we might finally be able to start looking forward instead of worrying about a shutdown
