At approximately 9:00 AM, Titusville Police Department officers encountered White and a juvenile female during the disturbance call. The juvenile was identified as a missing runaway from South Florida.

🚨 Trump Administration Announces it won't Tap Emergency Funds to Pay Food Aid (SNAP)The Trump administration has announced it will not use emergency funds to pay for November’s SNAP (food stamp) benefits while the government remains unfunded. The decision means that unless Congress passes a funding bill soon, more than 42 million Americans could miss the assistance they rely on to buy food. Speaker Mike Johnson has cancelled all votes for the remainder of October. A memo from the U.S. Department of Agriculture explains that the agency’s contingency fund is not legally available to cover regular monthly benefits without an approved federal budget. However, critics argue that this is a policy choice rather than a strict legal restriction, and that the administration could act to prevent widespread hardship.The move comes as the federal government shutdown continues into late October, with no immediate sign of a budget agreement. If the stalemate drags on, states will be unable to process or distribute November benefits, leaving millions of families, children, veterans, and seniors without critical food assistance.Advocates say this could become one of the most severe social impacts of the shutdown, affecting grocery stores, food suppliers, and local economies as well. Others believe the decision is meant to pressure Congress to reach a deal rather than relying on stopgap emergency measures.Should the government use emergency funds to keep food on the table for struggling Americans, or should this remain Congress’s responsibility to fix?#SNAP #FoodAssistance #GovernmentShutdown #USDA #TrumpAdministration #HungerCrisis #SpaceCoastRocket ...
