Record-long U.S. shutdown pushes millions into food aid limbo and flight delays
U.
On 9 November 2025, reports indicate nearly 42 million Americans dependent on the SNAP food-aid programme experienced delays after a judge ordered full funding and the White House appealed.
Meanwhile, airlines announced over 1,500 cancellations and 6,700 flight delays as the air-traffic controller workforce remains under strain.
The shutdown—now the longest in U.S. history—could cost up to US$14 billion in lost economic output according to ABC estimates.
