Last night, the Senate advanced a measure to end the government shutdown, which at 41 days today is the longest in U.S. history.
November 10, 2025 by Heather Cox Richardson
Seven Democrats and one Independent voted with all but one Republican to advance a measure that funds the government through January 30 of next year. It includes funding for military construction and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, the Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration, and operations for the legislative branch, or Congress. Tucked within that last appropriation is a measure that allows the eight Republican senators whose phone logs were seized during former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, to sue the government for up to $500,000 apiece.
The measure stops the administration’s firings of public employees during the shutdown, reinstating them with full pay. States will be reimbursed for monies they spent covering for federal shortfalls during the shutdown. This means air traffic controllers, who have been working without pay for more than a month, will get paid again.
The measure also funds the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), although it does not restore the cuts Republicans made to it in their budget reconciliation bill of July—the one they call the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
While the measure provides more funding for Indigenous health services, it does nothing to extend the premium tax credits for insurance purchased on the Affordable Care Act healthcare marketplace. Without those credits, millions will lose their healthcare insurance and millions more will face skyrocketing premiums. Republicans did not extend the premium tax credits in their July budget reconciliation bill, although they did extend tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
Senate Democrats said they would not advance a measure to end the shutdown without a deal to extend the premium tax credits, but seven of them, along with one Independent, have now done so. Senate majority leader John Thune (R-SD) has promised to bring to the Senate floor a bill to extend the premium tax credits before the end of the second week of December. It will be written by the Democrats.

An Opinionated Critique of Duolingo

Over my career and as part of personal projects I have repeatedly scanned nearly all of the Internet's routable IPv4 space and some portion of IPv6 space. In one of those projects we were scanning multiple times a week. If you've never been in this space I can assure you that the amount of unpatched gear and software would surprise you. The amount of gear that is YEARS past EOL is substantial. The amount of services that should never be public facing is, to be blunt, inexcusable. Even after the publication of the ETERNALBLUE exploits and the WannaCry, NotPetya, and related worms it still took months to see any significant reduction in exposed SMB endpoints. Even then, IIRC, a significant % of that reduction was due to ISP action and not system owners clueing up. There are often reports of massive DDoS events sourced from compromised routers, cameras, DVRs, cable models, etc. The original Mirai botnet is an excellent example of how impactful a worm infecting cameras and routers just using default creds can be.
It is my personal opinion that in every international jurisdiction it should be both legal and protected from civil repercussions to wipe all data and render permanently inoperable(1) any device or service directly connected to the Internet and remotely accessible with a default (out of the box or in documentation) credential or has a publicly disclosed vulnerability older than 2(2) years old which enables the action.
I believe that the initial result would be chaos but soon after the internet would be a "safer" place . I also think that perhaps there would be more pressure on vendors to improve the security of the device or service as well streamline and user proof the patching and hardening process.
For those who might be concerned that their gear, software, network, or services might be impacted I say:
Quit shitting up the internet for everyone!

the only reason to use VSCode instead of Code OSS is that you need some proprietary features, like AI. even in that case, you might want to consider quitting coding with AI and just using vim.
