The Department of Agriculture posted a notice on its website that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will not be issued on Nov. 1 amid the government shutdown, saying “Bottom line, the well has run dry.”

SNAP, often referred to as "food stamps," serves roughly 42 million low-income Americans.

SNAP has traditionally been entirely federally funded, but is administered by states. That means the shutdown's impact on SNAP and when benefits will start to dry up will vary by state.

The message at the top of the USDA blames Democrats for the funding lapse, saying they “can continue to hold out for healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive critical nutrition assistance.”

Democrats have said they won’t vote for a continuing resolution to fund the government and end the shutdown until the Republican-controlled Congress agrees to extend the pandemic era Affordable Care Act subsidies.

The Pentagon confirmed Friday it has accepted an anonymous $130 million donation to help pay troops if the government shutdown continues -- a bill expected to cost some $6.8 billion in total.

A statement from Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said the department on Thursday "accepted an anonymous donation of $130 million under its general gift acceptance authority. The donation was made on the condition that it be used to offset the cost of Service members' salaries and benefits."

There are about 2 million service members who risk going without a paycheck if the shutdown stretches on. Earlier this month, the Trump administration shifted money around in the Pentagon's nearly $1 trillion budget to cover the troops' payroll.

President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters from the White House on Thursday, first revealed the $130 million donation saying it came from "a friend of mine" who didn't want to be named.

"That's what I call a patriot," Trump said.

The House will officially be out of session again next week amid the government shutdown -- scrapping votes for the fifth week in a row. The lower chamber held its last vote on Sept. 19.

During the Friday afternoon pro forma session, the clerk read a message from the speaker of the House designating Monday, Oct. 27 through Sunday, Nov. 2 as a "district work period."

Speaker Mike Johnson has kept his chamber on a 48-hour notice return, meaning the House will be out unless there is Senate action to resolve the government shutdown.

There are no committee hearings or markups scheduled in the House next week.

More than 500,000 federal workers are missing their first full paycheck on Friday as the government shutdown hits Day 24.

The Senate is out, so this shutdown will continue into Monday.

Despite speculation that the start of the Affordable Care Act’s open enrollment period might provide an off ramp to the shutdown, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries signaled that even after Nov. 1, Democrats will continue the fight -- confident that public sentiment will support their decision to withhold their votes to reopen the government in the pursuit of health care reforms.

“If we don't address the Republican health care crisis in advance of open enrollment on November 1, it will become even more apparent to everyday Americans why we need to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, because by that point, tens of millions of people across the country will realize that their health insurance premiums, co-pays and deductibles have skyrocketed beyond what's affordable because of Republican inaction,” Jeffries predicted.

While Democrats have called for a permanent extension of the tax credits to the tune of $400 billion over the next decade, Republicans have rejected calls to negotiate while the government is shut down.

Nevertheless, Jeffries continues to signal a desire to engage in bipartisan negotiations -- with legislation to lower the cost of health care at the forefront of his demands.

“Our position has been that we are open, certainly, to anything bipartisan that emerges from the Senate in good faith, that reopens the government, but at the same time decisively addresses the Republican health care crisis, which includes, but is not limited to, extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits, because that needs to be done with urgency, given the fact that open enrollment starts on November 1,” he said.

The House cancelled legislative business again this week and lawmakers have been back in their districts for more than a month waiting for the gridlock to lift.

“It's extraordinary to me that for four consecutive weeks, House Republicans are on vacation. They've canceled votes week after week after week after week. Where are you?” Jeffries said. “I mean, you're in the legislative witness protection program. It's extraordinary that we're here again, fourth consecutive week, and House Republicans are nowhere to be found.”

Jeffries told reporters that he and Speaker Mike Johnson had a conversation over the weekend, but he refused to detail any of the conversation.

“Speaker Johnson and I had a conversation this weekend,” Jeffries deadpanned, stopping short of saying anything else about it. “Thank you everyone.”
