President Trump says the federal government is ready to fund SNAP if it gets guidance from the courts. On Friday two judges said the administration must tap emergency funds that will cover some of the SNAP program. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he's instructed government lawyers to ask the court to clarify how the government can legally fund the program. Once the administration gets that guidance, Trump said "it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding." The food assistance program is set to expire on Saturday unless the government re-opens, impacting 42-million low-income Americans who are enrolled.        FBI Director Kash Patel says a potential terror attack in the U.S. is no longer a threat. In a post on X this morning, Patel said multiple suspects have been arrested in Michigan area who were allegedly plotting a violent attack this weekend. Patel added that more details will be forthcoming and thanked the men and women of the FBI and law enforcement for, in his words, "standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland."        Affordable Care Act premiums are set to rise as the open enrollment period kicks off on November 1st. Premiums are expected to see a sharp increase due to the expiration of enhanced subsidies that have kept costs lower for many families. The enhanced premium tax credits were introduced in 2021 and extended through 2025 by the Inflation Reduction Act but they will expire, leaving the more than 24 million Americans who rely on the program to face a "double whammy" of losing their tax credits and encountering higher costs.        The White House is renovating the Lincoln Bathroom. President Trump spoke about the renovations in a post on Truth Social and claimed the room's previous art deco style was "totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era." According to the president's post, the room will now have "black and white polished Statuary marble." The renovation update comes coincides with Trump's 300-million-dollar ballroom project.        YouTube TV has stopped showing ABC and ESPN after the streamer failed to reach a deal with Disney. The two networks and other Disney programming were pulled from YouTube late Thursday, just before the current deal expired at midnight. "Variety" says the two sides remain far apart on a deal to keep Disney shows on the internet TV service. The report says Disney is asking for rate hikes that Google, YouTube's parent company, isn't willing to agree to, and that YouTube is offering subscribers a one-time 20-dollar credit if the Disney channels remain blocked for an extended period of time.        The Toronto Blue Jays can win their third ever World Series title tonight. The Jays are hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers for game six of the Fall Classic. Toronto leads the series three-games-to-two after winning games four and five in Los Angeles. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is on the bump for LA, while Kevin Gausman is on the mound for Toronto.
