The Trump administration says it will pay out about half of November SNAP benefits, leaving recipients to struggle to make up the rest

Members of the organizing team for the Janesville #NoKings rally estimated that the crowd numbers more than 1,000 people. This is just a small segment who were crowded at a street corner at one end of the park where the rally is being held.
