Quick look at Tuesday's news: |
Over 40 million Americans at risk of losing food benefits |
Millions of Americans who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, known as WIC, could be left scrambling for food come November. |
The latest: The U.S. Department of Agriculture has warned for weeks that food assistance could be in jeopardy if the shutdown continues. But a prominent new message on its website Monday said no benefits will be issued on Nov. 1. |
Shohei Ohtani had the greatest World Series performance in Los Angeles Dodgers' history Monday, hitting two home runs and two doubles, driving in three runs, scoring another three, reaching base a record nine times with four intentional walks, and then watching first baseman Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off homer in the 18th inning of the Dodgers' 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 of the World Series. Last night tied for longest game in World Series history at 18 innings. | Shohei Ohtani celebrates after scoring on a single by Freddie Freeman in the fifth inning. Kirby Lee, Imagn Images |
The man behind Trump's Chicago crackdown |
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol's Commander at-Large Gregory Bovino, the head of President Donald Trump's Operation Midway Blitz, is set to answer questions on Tuesday about whether federal agents are defying a judge's orders to limit use of chemical weapons on protesters. The testimony was ordered after a video taken by an anti-immigration protester and linked to in court filings shows tear gas being used on protesters. |
Another Nobel Prize nod for Trump |
President Donald Trump appears to have picked up another Nobel Peace Prize nomination — this time from the new Japanese prime minister, Sanae Takaichi.

She grew up in the Halloween capital of the world |
'From the Midwest nice interactions I had with locals, it was clear to me that Anokians didn't pride themselves on playing pretend behind masks or attracting tourists. Their spirit came from their drive to be with one another, just the way they were.' |
