We are 22 days away from Thanksgiving when people will be traveling for the holidays, and quite frankly, there is no end in sight for this government shutdown. President Donald Trump has refused to negotiate with Democrats over their demands to save expiring healthcare subsidies. That is what is holding up the vote in the Senate needed to reopen the government. The president is scheduled to meet with GOP senators today, but no. Have been scheduled with Democrats. In the meantime, SNAP benefits are being interrupted even after multiple courts mandated the Trump administration keep the nation's largest food program running. My colleague Amy Liu asked White House press secretary Caroline Levitt yesterday if the president is considering any authority to release more funds to help people who are in need of SNAP benefits. She said they are complying with the court. Orders and they are getting the partial snap payments out as quickly as they can, but also noted it is going to take some time. The shutdown is impacting air travel. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said there could be chaos in the skies if air traffic controllers miss another paycheck. There are senators working behind the scenes to try and come up with *** deal to end the shutdown, but nothing has come to fruition in Washington. I'm Rachel Herzheimer.
