Late last night, the House and Senate passed a bill to reopen the federal government and temporarily lift the debt ceiling, ending a 16-day government shutdown just hours before the Treasury Department’s debt ceiling deadline. Also last night, both chambers announced their conferees to the budget conference.

The two plan to meet for breakfast this morning to kick off negotiations.
