"Judge John McConnell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island ruled Friday that the Trump administration must use contingency funds to keep food benefit programs afloat during the government shutdown. McConnell's ruling paired with another Friday ruling. Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC, found that the administration's withholding of emergency funding was "unlawful." Trump said in a Truth Social post that it would be his "HONOR" to keep the programs going, but any move required further direction from the courts. The shutdown stretched into its 31st day Saturday."

A U.S. District Court judge in Rhode Island ruled that the Trump administration must use contingency funds to keep food benefit programs afloat during the government shutdown. That ruling was paired with a separate U.S. District Court ruling in Washington, D.C., where Judge Indira Talwani found that withholding emergency funding was unlawful. The president posted on Truth Social that continuing the programs would be his "HONOR," while indicating that implementation required further court direction. The government shutdown continued into its 31st day, extending uncertainty for beneficiaries and prompting judicial intervention to restore emergency support.
