00:00A federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration to fully fund November's SNAP
00:05benefits for millions of Americans amid the ongoing government shutdown. The judge cited
00:10the risk of irreparable harm from partial payments and rejected the administration's plan to cover
00:16only a portion of the benefits. In response, President Trump publicly called the ruling
00:22absurd and argued that only Congress has the authority to appropriate funds for the program.
00:27The administration filed an appeal raising uncertainty about how and when the full payments
00:33will reach recipients. The case highlights a growing political and legal struggle over food
00:39assistance policy amid a shutdown threatening essential services for some of the most vulnerable
00:44U.S. households.
