SNAP benefits to expire as judges order White House to fund program

Federal food assistance programs, such as SNAP benefits, are set to expire this Saturday as lawmakers remain at odds over government funding. The potential lapse has raised concerns about how millions of Americans will continue to access vital nutritional support.

Despite the impending expiration, some judges have ordered the Trump administration to continue funding the program. These court rulings aim to ensure that beneficiaries do not face immediate disruptions while the political impasse persists.

As discussions continue in Congress, the future of food assistance programs remains uncertain, highlighting the critical need for a resolution to support vulnerable populations across the country.

Professors weigh in on Trump administration’s demands for universities

On “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan,” three professors from leading universities shared their perspectives on a significant development in higher education policy.

Representing the University of Virginia, the University of Arizona, and the University of Southern California, these experts discussed the Trump administration’s initiative requiring colleges to sign a nine-page “compact.”

This agreement asks institutions to commit to the administration’s higher education priorities. In return, colleges would receive preferred access to federal funding.

The conversation delved into the implications of this move for colleges and the broader impact on higher education in the United States.
