Mississippians who rely on SNAP to afford food are still waiting to receive full November benefits more than a week after the government shutdown ended due to technical issues with 40-year-old computer systems.
There’s no guarantee full payments will arrive by Thanksgiving or even before December.

I heard Wonderwall by Oasis on the radio and did not change the station. It didn’t make me sad. Maybe Noel and Liam are right. It takes over 20 years to be okay with songs of breakups, first loves, big moves, and middle school emotions.

Luigi Mangione's lawyers say NY prosecutors should never have seen 120 pages of his medical records. They say an "unlawful" subpoena is to blame.
