Photos of the week | November 7-13, 2025 - Roll Call

After 43 days of repeated attempts in Congress to reopen the government, the longest government shutdown in history came to an end on Wednesday night. And an even longer wait came to an end when Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., was finally sworn in, 50 days after her special election. Here are the images captured by CQ Roll Call photojournalists this week.
