How Bad Is The Government Shutdown Going To Get?
The government shutdown is a month long now, just five days behind the longest ever. But it's not the record deadline that's the big one; it's the one happening this weekend.
On Nov. 1, food stamp benefits and health insurance subsidies expire for tens of millions of Americans who rely on those programs to avoid starvation or get vital care.
Grant explains whether a judge in Massachusetts can stop kids from going hungry, why this shutdown is already the worst we've ever had, and if senators holding their own "shadow negotiations" while Trump's out of the country can bring this shutdown to an end.
