BREAKING: Trump administration says it will fully fund SNAP benefits immediately<\/a><\/span><\/use><\/svg><\/a>
An FAA order cutting back on flights at 40 major airports to ease pressure from the shutdown kicks in today.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has informed states that they will immediately begin fully funding the SNAP program in\u00a0the wake of a court order<\/a>\u00a0from a judge in Rhode Island instructing the administration to do so.\u00a0
In the memo obtained by NBC News, Patrick Penn, the Deputy Undersecretary of the Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services informed states that the funds will be available as soon as today.\u00a0
The Trump Administration has\u00a0appealed the court\u2019s ruling<\/a>, but in the interim will comply with the order as the issue works its way through the courts.\u00a0
President Donald Trump has approved a pardon for baseball legend Darryl Strawberry, according to a White House official.
Strawberry is a three-time World Series champion and eight-time MLB All-Star who \u201cserved time and paid back taxes after pleading guilty to one count of tax evasion,\u201d the official said.
\u201cFollowing his career, Mr. Strawberry found faith in Christianity and has been sober for over a decade \u2014 he has become active in ministry and started a recovery center which still operates today,\u201d the White House official said.
Strawberry thanked the president\u00a0in a post on Instagram.<\/a>
\u201cThank you, President\u00a0@realdonaldtrump<\/a>\u00a0for my full pardon and for finalizing this part of my life, allowing me to be truly free and clean from all of my past,\u201d he wrote.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., today on the Senate floor unveiled the Democrats\u2019 new proposal to reopen the government.
Schumer said the offer would involve a one-year extension of Affordable Care Act tax benefits, a clean stopgap government funding bill to reopen the government to allow appropriators time to finish full-year spending bills, a package of three already-passed full-year appropriation bills and a bipartisan committee that would continue negotiations on reforms ahead of next year\u2019s enrollment period.
\u201cThis is a reasonable offer that reopens the government\u2019s deals with health care affordability and begins a process of negotiating reforms to the ACA tax credits for the future. Now, the ball is in the Republicans\u2019 court. We need Republicans to just say yes,\u201d Schumer said.
The House will continue to be out of session next week, as Speaker Mike Johnson has again designated it as a district work period. The announcement was made during the House\u2019s pro forma session this afternoon, though Nov. 10 through Nov. 14 was originally listed as a district work week in the\u00a0House calendar.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0
Johnson has repeatedly designated each week as a district work period over the course of the government shutdown and members have been told that they will get 48 hours\u2019 notice before needing to be back in D.C. A district work period means no votes are held in the House and members are usually back in their home states.\u00a0
The House was last in session Sept. 19 when the chamber passed the short-term continuing resolution.\u00a0
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., says he expects\u00a0that senators are “going to be here through the weekend,\u201d\u00a0and forecast that\u00a0the chamber would vote today on a bill that would pay federal workers who have been working during the shutdown.
Thune said \u201cthe pep rally\u201d Democrats held during their party lunch yesterday \u201cevidently changed some minds,\u201d saying that “the wheels came off, so to speak. So, it\u2019s up to them. I mean, like you said, we\u2019re ready to engage when they are.\u201d
The timing of when any votes today (or tomorrow) has not been locked in yet, and when asked if he\u2019s concerned about the optics of not being in session during a recess during Veterans Day, Thune said:\u00a0\u201cWell, we\u2019ll see what happens over the course the next couple of days. But I would expect that we\u2019re going to be here through the weekend.\u201d

Trump suggested that Hungary shouldn’t face any secondary sanctions for buying oil from Russia, unlike some other European countries, because he said it’s “very difficult” for Hungary to “get the oil and gas from other areas.”
“It\u2019s a big country, but they don\u2019t have sea, they don\u2019t have the ports. And so they have a difficult problem,” Trump told the press before his bilateral lunch with Orb\u00e1n.
Trump said that many other European countries that continue to purchase Russian oil don’t face those same problems.
“They don\u2019t have those problems, and they buy a lot of oil and gas from Russia. And as they know, I\u2019m very disturbed by that,” he said.
Trump just welcomed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n inside the White House.
“Great leader,” Trump said about Orb\u00e1n, as he pointed to the prime minister.
The two are scheduled to have a bilateral lunch.

A coalition of nonprofits has responded to the Trump administration\u2019s motion for an emergency stay of a judge’s decision that the administration must fully fund food benefits today, doubling down on the urgency of the situation.
The organizations says the Trump administration has been refusing “to provide full funding to provide relief for children and families who are going hungry today. Time is of the essence.\u201d
\u201cDefendants\u2019 claimed desire to conserve those funds for Child Nutrition programs \u2014 programs that have $23 billion on hand and require only $3 billion per month to operate \u2014 is facially implausible,\u201d they wrote.\u00a0\u201cTapping Child Nutrition funds poses no realistic threat of leaving those programs underfunded.\u201d
The response comes as we await a ruling from the 1st Circuit on the administration’s request for an emergency stay.
U.S. consumer sentiment fell to a nearly three-year low, according to a new survey <\/a>from the University of Michigan.
The survey also showed that consumers’ view of current economic conditions fell to a record low.
“With the federal government shutdown dragging on for over a month, consumers are now expressing worries about potential negative consequences for the economy,” the survey’s director, Joanne Hsu, said.
“This month\u2019s decline in sentiment was widespread throughout the population, seen across age, income and political affiliation,” she added.
However, those with large stock portfolios bucked the trend, reporting an increase in economic sentiment. Despite the government shutdown, markets have remained unfazed and have repeatedly set records over the course of the 37-day shutdown.
Trump pardoned former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his former chief of staff, Cade Cothren.
Casada, a Republican, was sentenced in September <\/a>to 36 months in prison after being convicted on 17 charges, including wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Cothren received a shorter sentence.
Casada confirmed the pardon in a statement<\/a> to NBC affiliate WSMV in Nashville, saying: \u201cYes the president called me today and granted me a full pardon. I am grateful of his trust and his full confidence in my innocence through this whole ordeal.\u201d

The Trump administration is asking the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals for an emergency stay \u2014 or pause \u2014 of U.S. District Judge John McConnell\u2019s order <\/a>requiring it to fully fund SNAP<\/a> by today by using other funding sources.\u00a0
\u201cThis Court should allow USDA to continue with the partial payment and not compel the agency to transfer billions of dollars from another safety net program with no certainty of their replenishment,\u201d it writes.
“To the extent they require USDA to expend funds beyond the SNAP contingency fund, the Court should stay the district court\u2019s orders of October 31 and November 6 pending appeal and grant an immediate administrative stay.\u201d
The court has asked the plaintiffs in the SNAP lawsuit, a group of nonprofit organizations, to respond to this emergency stay motion by noon ET.
The Senate is scheduled to convene at noon today and while roll call votes are expected, it’s unclear whether there will be votes aimed at ending the government shutdown.
There have been discussions about a potential plan to end the shutdown in the Senate that could involve a vote on the House-passed CR for a 15th time. If that legislation receives the 60 votes needed to begin consideration of the bill, Republicans could amend it with a new short-term spending bill, as well as a package of three full-year appropriations bills.
If this plan were to proceed, it’s not clear how an assurance that a vote on Obamacare fixes would be included in the agreement. And of course, even if this effort succeeds in the Senate, the House would also need to vote on it before it’s sent to the president’s desk.
Former Sen. John E. Sununu\u2019s comeback attempt<\/a> in New Hampshire has Democrats there warning about a tougher-than-expected Senate <\/strong>race that could complicate the party\u2019s effort to flip control of the chamber <\/strong>next year.
Sununu \u2014 a Republican who served one Senate term two decades ago and whose younger brother, Chris Sununu, was more recently the state\u2019s popular four-term governor \u2014 jumped into the race last month.
The GOP establishment quickly rallied around Sununu in a primary that also includes Scott Brown, who served as an ambassador in Trump\u2019s first term and as a senator from neighboring Massachusetts in the early 2010s.

Building a nuclear-powered submarine in the South Korean-owned Philly Shipyard<\/a> is not \u201crealistic,\u201d a South Korean official said, after Trump said it would be built in Philadelphia.
Trump, who visited South Korea<\/a> last week, made the remark on social media after saying he had given the U.S. ally approval to build a nuclear-powered submarine, which would make it one of only a handful of countries to possess one.
South Korean national security adviser Wi Sung-lac told lawmakers yesterday that South Korea, one of the world\u2019s biggest shipbuilding countries<\/a>, would \u201cmove forward with a practical and cost-effective nuclear submarine program that aligns with efficiency and necessity.\u201d
\u201cThe Virginia-class submarine is an American model that we have no need to pursue \u2014 it costs over 5 trillion won,\u201d or $3.4 billion, he said. \u201cInstead, we intend to develop a much more affordable submarine suited to our own operational requirements, and we plan to build it here in Korea.\u201d
Investing in submarine facilities at the Philly Shipyard, which South Korea\u2019s Hanwha Group bought last year for $100 million, \u201cwould not be realistic,\u201d Wi said.
Trump is set to host Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n at the White House today for a bilateral lunch.
The president is welcoming his U.S. ally after the Trump administration recently sanctioned Russia’s two largest oil companies<\/a>. Hungary is among the European countries that purchase Russian oil and Trump noted last week that Orb\u00e1n has asked for an exemption from sanctions on Russian oil.
“We haven’t granted one, but he’s a friend of mine,” Trump told reporters last week.
In September, Trump was asked to address Orb\u00e1n on his refusal to stop buying Russian oil.
\u201cWell, he\u2019s a friend of mine. I have not spoken to him, but I have a feeling if I did, he might stop, and I think I\u2019ll be doing that,” he said at the time.
GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik is launching a run for governor in New York, blaming Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul for the state\u2019s high cost of living and tying the governor to New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
Stefanik\u2019s \u00a02\u00bd-minute\u00a0launch video <\/a>focuses largely on affordability. And while Stefanik is a staunch ally of Trump, her campaign video does not make any references to the president.
\u201cThere\u2019s no question: New York is facing an affordability crisis,\u201d a narrator says in Stefanik\u2019s launch video, which also features commentators calling Hochul the \u201cworst governor in America.\u201d\u00a0

A routine journey to the skies may result in long lines and a change of plans as airlines abide by a Federal Aviation Administration order to cut flights by 4% in high traffic airports starting today.
The cuts are building up to a 10% reduction in capacity at 40 locations, designed to ease pressure points and address fatigue among air traffic controllers as the government shutdown drags on.
