Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. The Trump administration says it's sending states money for full snap food benefits.

NPR's Jennifer Ludden reports that's happening even as the government appeals in order to fund the program to the Supreme Court after money ran out a week ago.

Shortly after the ruling Thursday, a growing number of states started to announce

Here he is speaking to Fox News. We're going to have to continue to assess the pressure in the airspace

and make decisions that may again move us from 10% to 15%, maybe to 20. The FAA wants to cut air traffic

at 40 major airports, including Atlanta, Chicago, and Dallas.

But the effects will ripple out to many smaller airports with flights that connect to those major hubs. Joel Rose, NPR News, Washington.

The government shutdown has prompted the cancellation of some Veterans Day events.
