USDA says SNAP benefits won't be issued on Nov. 1

While speaking to reporters on Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled willingness to pass some sort of legislation that would provide emergency funding to pay members of the military during the shutdown. The House would have to return to Washington in order for this legislation to pass.

"We want to make sure that our troops are paid," Johnson said. "We're looking forward to processing all of this as soon as we gather everybody back up, but again the most immediate thing is turn the lights back on here and keep Congress working so we can take care of all of this important business."

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, however, underscored that legislation wouldn't be necessary if the House-passed clean continuing resolution were approved by Senate Democrats.

"Honestly you don't need that. You don't need -- obviously there are certain constituencies many of whom are going to be impacted in a very negative way by what is happening here but the simplest way to end it is not try to exempt this group or that group or that group it is to get the government open and then all the consequences of that, adverse consequences of that, go by the way side," Thune said.

On Day 7 of the government shutdown, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Republicans are "not taking this seriously," during a press conference.

"They're feeling the heat," Schumer told reporters.

He said that Republicans "know they're on the wrong side of this" and that "instead of rolling up their sleeves" and working with Democrats, the party is "refusing to address the health care crisis they created."

"It's past time to get it done," Schumer said.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said that employees furloughed during the shutdown will get back pay.

"My assumption is that furloughed workers will get back pay," Thune said during a press conference. Those comments differ from Trump's earlier in the day, when he said it "depends on who we are talking about," when asked about back pay.

"But for the most part, we're going to take care of our people. There are some people that really don't deserve to be taken care of, and we'll take care of them in a different way," Trump said.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries rejected a one-year extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits -- drawing a red line on his health care demands.

A bipartisan group in the House has a proposal to extend the ACA tax credits for one year, but Jeffries wants a permanent extension.

"It's not acceptable. It's a non-starter. It was introduced by the same people who just permanently extended massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors. Think about that," Jeffries said at a news conference in the Capitol on Day 7 of the shutdown.

Jeffries said the ACA tax credit extension is a "battle for everyday Americans" and that this is "another example of Republicans throwing out baseless lies to try to defend their indefensible position, which is that they've assaulted the health care of the American people."

Later, though, Jeffries said he'd have an "open mind" regarding an extension of the ACA tax credits "on the merits of what is presented in good faith."

Jeffries dismissed a suggestion to cap or not allow new enrollees to have the subsidies.

"Let's be clear about one thing here again, the notion that a group of people who just jammed these permanent tax breaks down the throats of the American people for their billionaire donors, suggesting that the Affordable Care Act tax credits should not be made available to small business entrepreneurs, to working families, middle-class Americans and everyday Americans, is the irony of all ironies, and if that's their positions, they can take a hike," Jeffries said.
