Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to block full SNAP benefits for now. And here's Amy Held explains.

Sylvia Lindsey in North Carolina got half her benefits Friday. Not enough, she says, for her and her grandson she supports who has autism.
You're already down, and they want you to be even further down. It's just really sad and disappointing.
One in eight Americans rely on the program, mostly very low-income families, seniors, or people with disabilities.
Amy Held, NPR News. More than 1,400 flights around the country have been canceled after the Trump administration ordered airports to cut flights as the FAA deals with a shortage of air traffic controllers who are working without pay. The FAA says the flights at 40 airports will be cut 10 percent on a phase-in basis as the government shutdown, now on its 39th day, continues. Nick Delucanal has more from the Charlotte Douglas Airport in Charlotte.
Inside the Charlotte terminal here, Jessica Lamuccio and her one-year-old daughter are trying to rebook after their flight to Manchester, New Hampshire was canceled, leaving them scrambling to get to a family wedding.
It just makes it more complicated, right? Especially with her, just to figure out, like, what's our plan? How long do we stay here? How long do you wait it out? If you book again, is it going to get canceled again?
The Charlotte Airport says this morning's ground stop, which lasted about an hour, was caused by staffing issues in the air traffic control tower. For NPR News, I'm Nick Della Canal in Charlotte.
The Red Cross facilitated another transfer of human remains between Gaza and Israel, including one Israeli hostage and 15 Palestinians who were held by Israel. And here's Lauren Freer has more from Tel Aviv.
The Israeli prime minister's office says forensic tests show the latest body returned to Israel is that of a retired Israeli military officer. An Israeli hostage forum says Lior Rudeyev was a 61-year-old volunteer ambulance driver who was killed on October 7, 2023, after a fierce battle with Hamas-led militants at the gates of the kibbutz where he lived in southern Israel. In exchange, the Gaza Health Ministry says it's received the bodies of 15 Palestinians held by Israel, but their names are not yet known. The ministry says only about a third of the total number of Palestinian bodies returned under this ceasefire have been identified amid a shortage of DNA tests in Gaza.
