Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. Food banks say they're seeing an immediate uptick in demand,

despite two judges' orders yesterday, that the Trump administration provide funding for the SNAP

Food Assistance Program. From member station KQED, Dina Kronin has more.

Food banks here in the Bay Area are ramping up efforts in response to the hundreds of calls

they say they've received so far from people seeking relief. Caitlin Sly is the CEO of the Food Bank

Mamdani has mostly stuck to a more upbeat message promising to address high rents and other affordability issues. Brian Mann in PR News, New York.
