Democratic-led states filed suit in federal court, arguing the Trump administration’s halt to SNAP aid during the shutdown harms millions of low-income Americans.

One expert told Newsweek that "years of evidence point to the fact that noncitizens use SNAP at lower rates than U.S. citizens."

“Show me a nation that cannot feed itself, and I’ll show you a nation in chaos,” former Senate Agriculture Committee chair Pat Roberts said in 2015. With Democrats and Republicans at a standstill with negotiations over the federal budget, communities nation-wide can’t count on the government to step in and help.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is warning that the Trump administration cannot add more funding to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program unilaterally.

As the shutdown continues, more than 130 000 Idahoans will see their Food stamps run out on November 1st. Uncertainty remains as officials share very little information on what comes next for people who rely on SNAP benefits.

Italy is offering its first homegrown luxury train, and it’s an homage to 1950s and ’60s glamor — the era of Fellini, Valentino and sunglasses after dark. We spent 24 hours on board.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — more commonly known as SNAP, or food stamps — is a key benefits program that serves more than 40 million people across the country. Now, the shutdown is threatening to temporarily suspend benefits, raising concerns over where millions of people who rely on the program will turn to for food.
