Trump threatens to withhold SNAP funding until shutdown ends The president’s Truth Social post Tuesday appears to contradict his own administration’s actions and violate a federal court order.

The court needs to impose a contempt charge and then jail time.

"On Nov. 1, the public health impact of the #governmentshutdown will mushroom," Professor Amy Nunn & colleagues warn. "Americans’ health insurance premiums are going to rise... But there’s an even greater public health crisis on the horizon. Over 140,000 Rhode Islanders are at risk of going hungry."
