flag New York declares emergency, allocates $65M for 40M meals as shutdown halts SNAP for 3M residents.

flag New York has declared a state of emergency and allocated $65 million in state funds to provide 40 million meals amid a federal government shutdown that halted SNAP benefits for nearly 3 million residents. flag The move comes as the Trump administration refuses to release $6 billion in previously approved contingency funds, disrupting food assistance for millions nationwide. flag Several states have taken similar actions, and 25 Democratic governors and attorneys general have sued to compel the USDA to use emergency funding. flag Officials stress that state aid is temporary and cannot replace long-term federal support, warning of rising food insecurity, especially among vulnerable populations.
