Trump admin ordered to pay for SNAP benefits amid shutdown

SUMMARY

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to continue funding food stamps during the government shutdown. The ruling allows the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps around 42 million people, to access emergency funds.

Senator John Thune has rejected Trump's call to eliminate the filibuster, fearing it could have negative consequences.

Additionally, air travel has been disrupted by insufficient staffing at air traffic control facilities, leading to widespread delays at major airports.

A Massachusetts judge has also demanded clarification on SNAP benefits for November.
