Supreme Court asks Trump admin to weigh in on SNAP request

In light of developments on Capitol Hill, and with the clock ticking on an administrative stay of an order that U.S. Department of Agriculture fully fund SNAP payments for November, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has asked the Trump administration to indicate by 11 a.m. on Monday whether it still intends to pursue a full stay of the payouts.

Assuming the administration does, she wants both sides to submit any supplemental briefing materials.

Day 41: What to expect in the Senate

It was a key turning point on Capitol Hill on Sunday night, with eight members of the Democratic caucus joining with nearly every Senate Republican to advance a bill that could finally end the federal government shutdown.

But, there are still some additional steps that the Senate needs to take before they formally pass this bill and send it over to the House, and the key question now is how long those steps take. The Senate floor opens at 11 a.m.

Senators will be trying to move the funding bill quickly, but it takes unanimous approval of all 100 senators to do so. If there is an objection from even one senator, it would be enough to slow the process. Without unanimous consent, it could take the Senate hours or even days to finish working on this bill.
