Description
Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — Those relying on SNAP benefits could be getting some relief soon, but timing is still uncertain.  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says some food assistance payments could start as soon as Wednesday, after the program ran out of money on November 1st due to the ongoing government shutdown. Two federal judges have now ordered the Trump administration to make partial payments using emergency funds, but Bessent says the President wants guidance from the courts on the legal way to release the money.    Two ---  The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments Wednesday on the legality of President Trump's tariff plan.  The case centers on Trump using a law meant for emergencies to impose tariffs without Congress's approval.  Oral arguments were fast-tracked and the tariffs will remain in place until the Court decides.  And number three --- Michigan drivers are paying ten-cents a gallon less to fill up the tank today compared to last week.  Triple-A Michigan says the statewide average price is two-dollars-97-cents, 19-cents less than last month and 20-cents less than last year.  The highest price in the state is in Ann Arbor at $3.07, and Traverse City has the lowest price at $2.82.
