Hi from CNN, I'm Josh and Shana with the 5 things you need to know for Tuesday, November 11th. On this vote, the ayes are 60, the nays are 40. The bill as amended is passed. Last night, the Senate voted to end the government shutdown after a small band of Democrats voted with Republicans to approve a funding measure that will begin to reopen the government.
The House is expected to vote on the bill as soon as Wednesday, before moving to President Donald Trump's desk. Here's what Trump said about the current bill in the Oval Office. If it's a deal I heard about, that's certainly, you know, they want to change the deal a little bit, but I would say so. I think based on everything I'm hearing, they haven't changed anything.
And we have support from enough Democrats, and we're going to be opening up our country. The bill isn't sensing many Democrats because there's no concrete commitment to extending ObamaCare subsidies. Only a promise for a Senate vote in December, which political pundits say is very unlikely to become law. Just listen to what Democratic Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey told CNN yesterday.
What just happened in the Senate chamber was an absolute disgrace. I just, I can't stress it enough. Like, I literally ran for Congress in 2018 to protect our health care, to protect the Affordable Care Act, and I just, I'm really gutted right now. Trump has asked the Supreme Court to overturn the verdict that he sexually abused and defamed writer E.
Jean Carroll. He claims the judge presiding over the civil trial made errors in allowing certain testimony and evidence, such as the 2005 Access Hollywood tape. In the appeal filed yesterday, Trump said there were no eyewitnesses, no video evidence, and no police report or investigation. Last year, a federal appeals court affirmed the jury's verdict and the $5 million judgment against Trump, and in June, the president lost a second attempt to appeal the case.
The appeal has not yet been formally docketed at the Supreme Court, and it remains to be seen whether the case will be taken up. Carroll sued Trump, alleging he sexually assaulted her in a New York department store in the mid-1990s, and then defamed her in 2019 when he denied the assault, said she wasn't his type, and claimed she made it up to boost sales of a book. The families of seven campers and two counselors who died in July's catastrophic flooding that swept through Camp Mystic are suing the Texas camp and its owners. That's according to three lawsuits filed yesterday, each seeking more than a million dollars in damages.
One lawsuit accuses Camp Mystic of not having adequate safety plans and prioritizing money over safety, while another accuses it of gross negligence. More than two dozen campers and staffers died in the flooding, including the camp's co-owner Richard Dick Eastland, who died by trying to save some of the girls. In a statement, the camp said, he continued to pray for the grieving families. CNN has also reached out to its attorney for comment.
Now for another story involving a lawsuit. President Trump is threatening to sue Britain's public broadcaster, the BBC, over the misleading edit in a 2024 documentary about his re-election campaign. Two top bosses at the BBC have since resigned. In a threatening legal letter, Trump is demanding at least a billion dollars in damages.
A BBC spokesperson told CNN that, quote, we will review the letter and respond directly in due course. Throughout his second term in office, Trump has sent several legal letters to other news organizations, including CNN. And the president's legal threats often don't amount to anything, but he does have pending lawsuits against the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Des Moines Register. Coming up, the Arctic last peaks in the eastern US.

There was like a foot of snow outside my house and I was like, yes, I don't have to go to school. That was a kid in Wisconsin talking to CNN affiliate WTMJ. And as you can probably tell, they're very happy about the record cold snap in the eastern half of the US. Yesterday, up to a foot of snow fell south of Chicago and totals north of the city from far northeast Illinois into southeast Wisconsin topped 10 inches, spawned by a rush of arctic air that's unusually cold for November.
According to the National Weather Service, it's led to dangerous travel conditions, with the snow threat stretching beyond Chicago across the Great Lakes. And over the next couple of days, it's threatening dozens of low temperature records as far as out of this Florida. And that's all for now. Our next episode drops at noon eastern.
