SNAP benefits set to expire this week. And, Jamaica braces for a Category 5 storm

More than 40 million Americans will soon be without federal food assistance. The Trump administration says there will be no money for SNAP benefits starting Nov. 1. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it will not use emergency funds to address this situation. The White House is placing blame on Democrats for this outcome, similar to its approach with various other issues related to the shutdown over the past month.
