Two federal judges on Friday directed the Trump administration to tap emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits flowing to roughly 42 million people as the U.S. government shutdown entered its 31st day. One judge issued a temporary restraining order calling for immediate action; another gave the administration until Monday to decide whether to send at least partial payments.
