Resolves YES if by 11:59 pm ET on Friday, Oct 17, 2025 the lapse in federal appropriations has ended and OMB (or the White House) issues public guidance that affected agencies are resuming normal operations nationwide (e.g., CR or full funding bill signed). Resolves NO otherwise. If the government reopens earlier and then shuts down again before the deadline, this still resolves YES. Primary verification: official OMB/White House statements and reports from major outlets.
