09.11.2025 โข The Day Trump Demanded SNAP Changes
โจThe government shutdown continued to dominate US media on November 9th, marking its 40th day. The day began with reports of Senate division over the shutdown, and a rare Sunday session was called to address the impasse.
A significant development emerged mid-day concerning the Trump administration's stance on food aid, as President Trump promised a $2,000 tariff dividend to Americans. Simultaneously, reports highlighted concerns over his perceived inaction on food aid during the shutdown.
By evening, the Trump administration explicitly ordered states to pause paying full SNAP benefits, demanding they "undo" steps to fund November payouts, a move that prompted warnings of "catastrophic impact" from states and drew criticism from various media outlets. This directive directly contradicted previous court orders and the administration's compliance on November 7th.
