Courts extend SNAP funding as families worry

On a tense Saturday in Springfield, shoppers trimmed their carts as federal courts in Rhode Island and Massachusetts ordered the Trump administration to keep SNAP funded through the shutdown, with a Rhode Island judge directing restoration as early as Monday. President Trump said emergency funds would flow but warned of delays. At America’s Food Basket, aisles were quiet, bills came up short, and managers considered reducing hours. Massachusetts leaders rushed aid to food banks while local groups handed out milk and eggs to bridge the gap.
