Shutdown strains SNAP as elections loom

President Trump spent the shutdown weekend in Florida and signaled little interest in negotiating, saying Democrats must end it, even as two judges ordered his administration to use emergency funds to keep SNAP running after an unprecedented lapse affecting 42 million people. Food banks are scrambling. On the eve of elections in Virginia, New Jersey and major cities, a high-profile New York City contest between Democrat Zohran Mamdani and independent Andrew Cuomo is drawing national attention. Meanwhile, car insurance costs soar, a Chicago schools photo series highlights overlooked students, and Kenyans swept the NYC Marathon.
