Washington, Nov 7 — A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to fully fund Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for the month of November, ensuring millions of low-income American families continue receiving food assistance without disruption. The ruling comes amid concerns that policy changes and budget pressures could have reduced aid at a time when households are still recovering from economic strain.

The court stated that withholding or cutting SNAP benefits would cause “immediate and irreparable harm” to vulnerable families across the country. The order mandates the administration to release the full federal funding needed to sustain the program through November. Advocacy groups hailed the decision as a crucial win for food security, stressing that consistent SNAP support is essential to prevent hunger and stabilize struggling communities.

Washington, Nov 7 — Boeing will not face criminal prosecution over the two tragic 737 Max plane crashes that killed hundreds of passengers in Indonesia and Ethiopia, as US authorities have decided against pursuing charges. The crashes in 2018 and 2019, linked to a faulty flight-control system, had raised global outrage and led to the grounding of the 737 Max fleet worldwide for nearly two years.

The US Department of Justice had reviewed whether Boeing violated terms of a previous settlement but concluded that criminal charges would not move forward. Families of the victims expressed deep disappointment, stating that the decision denied them justice and accountability. Boeing, which has already paid billions in fines, compensation, and safety overhaul commitments, maintains that it has made major changes to improve aircraft safety and restore trust in its manufacturing practices.

Washington, Nov 7 — US Commerce Secretary highlighted India’s tariff policies while strongly defending former President Donald Trump’s authority to impose tariffs, as the Supreme Court reviews the legal limits of presidential trade powers. The Secretary argued that the US must retain flexibility to respond to rising global trade barriers, citing India’s tariff strategies as an example of why America needs the ability to act swiftly to protect domestic industries.

The case under consideration challenges whether Trump exceeded his executive authority when he introduced sweeping tariffs on several countries during his term. Defending the move, the Commerce Secretary emphasized that many nations, including India, frequently revise their tariff structures to safeguard local markets. The US administration stated that similar powers are crucial for maintaining America’s competitive edge and for ensuring fair trade practices in a rapidly changing global economic landscape.
