It’s cut off SNAP, caused major airport delays and furloughed 650,000 workers.
We could finally be closing in on some sort of resolution to end it.

This directly puts the ball in the Trump administration's court.
There's no longer a question of "can they issue SNAP benefits." They now **must** issue the payments.

But there will still be a gap in benefits; she gave the admin until Nov. 3 to share if/how they will issue payments.
