SNAP benefits set to lapse this weekend as government shutdown stretches into day 31

Where things stand

• Trump weighs in: President Donald Trump urged congressional Republicans to unilaterally end the shutdown by eliminating the filibuster — an unprecedented step that GOP leaders have opposed until now. Senate Majority Leader John Thune still supports the filibuster, according to his office.

• Looming pause of SNAP benefits: Senators left Washington yesterday with no measurable progress toward a deal as tens of millions face a lapse in food stamp benefits starting tomorrow. Federal judges are considering whether to take up the food stamp funding fight.

• Government employees struggling: Federal workers who are going unpaid say they are finding it increasingly hard to make ends meet.

• Travel woes: Vice President JD Vance and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that Americans could face a travel “disaster” as Thanksgiving is on the horizon without an end in sight to the shutdown.
