#POS

American families are worried about losing #FoodStamp benefits. Hundreds of thousands of #FederalWorkers have no idea when they will next be paid. Several #airports have been experiencing delays because of staffing shortages.

The pain of the government #shutdown is growing more acute as it grinds toward the 5-week mark, with #Congress showing little movement toward a resolution. But #Trump has been attending to other matters.

Trump told #states on Saturday to “immediately undo” any actions to provide full #FoodStamp benefits to #LowIncome families, threatening financial penalties if they do not comply. The late-night guidance from the #USDA adds to the uncertainty surrounding the nation’s largest anti-#hunger program during the govt #shutdown. Officials in several states said they remained unsure on Sunday how the directive would affect the roughly one in eight Americans who rely on #SNAP.
