Coming to the aid of food stamp recipients, I'm Carmen Roberts. Fox News. Two federal judges issue rulings nearly simultaneously ordering the Trump administration to use contingency funds to keep food stamp assistance running during the government shutdown.

Head of the ruling, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Wallens told reporters, It is a contingency fund that can only flow if the underlying appropriation is approved.

And listen, even if it could flow, it doesn't even cover half of the month of November.

So here we are again in two weeks having the exact same conversation.

Snap benefits are set to stop tomorrow,

but the judges ordered at least partial funding

and for a progress report on Monday.

As reopening the government goes nowhere,

Democrats say that health insurance costs are about to spike

and they want Obamacare subsidies extended

as part of the bill to end the shutdown.

However, President Trump says

the government must reopen first. It's their fault. Everything is their fault. It's so easily solved.

You know, we have a number of Democrats that have already voted for this. There have not been

enough votes to break the Senate filibuster on a stop-up spending bill,

so that has not allowed the Republicans in the Senate to pass a funding bill and reopen the government.

The president said earlier the Republican majority should play their Trump card and go nuclear and scrap the

filibuster. And the FDA says drug makers have recalled more than half a million

bottles of blood pressure medication, prososin hydrochloride, of concerns that it may include

cancer-causing chemicals. New Jersey-based Teva pharmaceuticals and a drug distributor

issued that voluntary nationwide recall. America's listening to Fox News.
