• Senate reaches deal: A deal has been reached in the Senate to fund the government through January 30 in a major sign the shutdown is poised to end, according to a source familiar with the matter. The chamber is set to vote tonight, and the source said there are enough Democrats to advance the plan.
• Thanksgiving travel in question: While the Senate works on a potential deal, the effects of the shutdown are still being felt across the country.

• USDA’s order: The Department of Agriculture ordered states to stop issuing full food stamp benefits and to “immediately undo” steps taken to issue assistance from the program for November as the government shutdown drags on.
