What is the current status of the government shutdown and Trump's response?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump says he supports the Senate deal that would end the government shutdown. It's now the longest in history at 41 days. Eight Democrats are joining in with Republicans on the agreement to temporarily fund the government. The full Senate is poised to vote on the measure. NPR's Deepa Shivaram has more.
Trump told reporters that the government would be opening back up, quote, very quickly, though the House would still need to pass any short-term package before Trump can sign it.
Based on everything I'm hearing, they haven't changed anything, and we have support from enough Democrats, and we're going to be opening up our country.
Trump called the deal, quote, very good and said he would abide by it, including the measure that reverses the mass firings of government employees that took place during the shutdown. Deepa Shivaram, NPR News.
Millions of Americans who receive federal food assistance remain in limbo as the Trump administration appeals a federal judge's ruling to fully fund SNAP payments this month. Nick De La Canal of member station WFAE reports food assistance organizations are feeling the strain.
Have a great day, ma'am. Thank you so much.
A line of cars wraps around the block at a food share in Charlotte for people who received SNAP benefits. Some here say they received partial payments on Friday, but it wasn't much. One man said he received $16 when he usually receives about $100. Others, like Michelle Sands, still have empty accounts.
I keep looking online and looking at it. I even called my card and it still ain't saying nothing.
The uncertainty comes as food banks are preparing for Thanksgiving, normally their busiest time of year, and they say every day the shutdown continues makes their own holiday outlook more uncertain. For NPR News, I'm Nick Della Canal in Charlotte.
The Food and Drug Administration is removing stringent warnings about risks from hormone therapy products used to ease symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. NPR Pharmaceuticals correspondent Sydney Lupkin has more on the change in the agency's stance.
black box warnings on hormone therapies are the FDA's strongest. They're used to inform doctors and patients that a drug can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. The warnings had been on hormone therapies for more than 20 years and say the drugs increased the risk of certain cancers, strokes, and heart attacks. Now the FDA is removing the warnings, saying those risks were overstated. It's a change many doctors have urged the FDA to make, but they say the agency didn't follow its usual procedure for doing so. The FDA convened a special expert panel in July instead of using an existing advisory committee, which follows a stricter process for reviewing evidence and making recommendations.
Sydney Lepkin, NPR News.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the U.S. struck two more boats allegedly carrying drugs, killing six people. There have been 19 such attacks and the death toll is now at least 75 people. The Trump administration has provided no evidence for its assertions that the boats are carrying drugs. This is NPR News. The BBC says President Trump threatened legal action over the way a speech he made was edited in a documentary. The broadcaster's top executive and its head of news both quit yesterday over accusations of bias and misleading editing. In the documentary, aired before the 2024 election, Trump's January 6, 2021 speech was edited to omit his call for peaceful protest. BBC chairman Samir Shah apologized for the, quote, error of judgment.
The annual UN climate meeting, also known as COP30, has officially kicked off in Brazil. NPR's Rebecca Herscher reports one goal of the meeting is to accelerate progress on climate change.
In recent years, wind and solar power has expanded dramatically. It's now the cheapest source of electricity in most of the world. But it's not enough to avoid catastrophic amounts of warming in the coming decades, says United Nations Climate Chief Simon Steele.
