US EditionSupreme Court extends its order blocking full SNAP payments, with shutdown potentially near an end
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives could vote to end the federal government shutdown after the U.S. Senate passed a stopgap funding bill on Monday, ending the longest shutdown in U.S. history.
- The Trump administration's initial refusal to tap contingency funds left SNAP payments delayed and partial, disrupting the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program serving about 42 million people.
- Travel disruptions have delayed congressmembers' return from mid-September recess, as thousands of flight cancellations tied to the shutdown compound operational chaos during stopgap bill negotiations.
- Republicans, with a slim House majority, expect the funding bill to pass, and the package schedules a December vote on extending Affordable Care Act tax credits, provoking House Democratic anger.
- The deal's passage exposed party fractures as a breakaway group of Democrats in the U.S. Senate defied Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, while federal workers remain unpaid.
