Supreme Court Blocks Full Funding Of SNAP Food Aid Payments

The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked full funding of SNAP food aid payments amid the ongoing government shutdown. In an emergency order, the high court allowed the Trump administration to partially fund SNAP benefits for November, overriding a lower court ruling that had required full funding. The administration had argued that a contingency fund did not have enough money to cover the full payments. As a result, federal food aid to tens of millions of Americans has been reduced while the government remains partially shut down.

Trump pardons Giuliani, Meadows, Powell and Eastman

President Donald Trump has issued pardons for several of his allies accused of attempting to overturn the 2020 election, a Justice Department official said. Those pardoned include his former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and conservative lawyers Sidney Powell and John Eastman. The Justice Department’s pardon office posted the signed proclamation online, granting each a full, complete, and unconditional pardon. The document makes clear the pardons do not apply to Trump himself. None of the individuals had been charged with a federal crime.

Senate takes first step toward ending government shutdown

The Senate took its first step Sunday toward ending the historic government shutdown that has now lasted more than a month. Moderate Democrats agreed to advance a compromise bill without a guaranteed extension of health care subsidies, a move that drew criticism from some within their party. The legislation would fund the government and set up a mid-December vote on whether to extend expiring health care tax credits. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York voted against the measure. Final passage could still take several days if Democrats seek to delay the process.

Cornell University To Pay $60 Million To Restore Federal Funding

Cornell University has reached a deal with the Trump administration to restore federal funding. Under the arrangement, Cornell will pay 60 million dollars and accept the Trump administration’s interpretation of civil rights laws, in order to restore federal funding and end investigations into the Ivy League school. Cornell’s president said the deal upholds the university’s academic freedom while restoring more than $250 million in research funding. President Trump has accused elite colleges of tolerating antisemitism and promoting left-wing ideas.

Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik running for governor of New York

Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik is running for governor of New York. Stefanik represents a sprawling congressional district in northern New York. She launched her campaign Friday. She had stoked speculation for a future run for governor, ramping up her criticism of Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul in recent months. Any Republican faces long odds of winning the governor’s mansion in New York, but Stefanik’s campaign will bring strong name recognition, fundraising prowess and ties to President Donald Trump. Last year, Trump picked Stefanik to be the administration’s ambassador to the United Nations but later rescinded the nomination over concerns about Republicans’ tight margins in the House.

Trump pressures Senate Republicans to scrap filibuster

As the shutdown drags on, President Trump continues to pressure Senate Republicans to eliminate the filibuster. With the Senate unable to reach the 60 votes needed to end the government shutdown, the president said it’s time to change the rules. Despite the presidential pressure, most GOP senators do not support ending the filibuster because it gives them leverage whenever Democrats have the majority.
