A federal judge has given the Trump administration until Monday to consider whether to pay at least partial SNAP food benefits -- even though millions of people will be without aid starting tomorrow.

Among the hundreds of thousands of furloughed federal workers -- interns. We speak to a few who'd hoped to gain experience working in House offices.

Two federal judges ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funding to provide SNAP benefits. But it's unclear how much, or when, those funds would be provided before the funding runs dry.

"67," pronounced "six seven," spread from a rap song, through sports and social media, to classrooms and homes across the U.S. But even the artist who coined it struggles to define it.

Some 42 million people in the U.S. who rely on SNAP benefits could soon join the already long lines at the nation's food banks and pantries that are also serving struggling federal workers.

Western states have some of America's lowest fertility rates. The rapidly rising cost of housing is playing a role.

A federal judge is set to decide whether the Trump administration will have to find funds to keep SNAP benefits flowing. And, President Trump says the U.S. should resume nuclear weapons testing.

Federal food assistance could be cut off Saturday because of the shutdown. But a federal judge could decide to take steps to ensure federal food assistance keeps flowing.

With millions of Americans at risk of losing access to their federal food benefits Saturday, food banks across the country are finding ways to help those in need.

From monsters to politics and (maybe) everything in between, it's the weekly news quiz.
