Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. A federal judge is ordering the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP food benefits during the government shutdown, but the administration quickly appealed the ruling. The decision comes after the White House said it would only partially fund food aid after initially saying it wouldn't fund it at all. Last week, two judges ordered the government

The companies also promised that if experimental obesity pills they are developing
