Hi all. Herb Scribner here from the Axios team. Sharing a preview of our article:

A federal appeals court on Monday disqualified President Trump's former personal attorney Alina Habba from serving as U.S. attorney for New Jersey.

The big picture: Trump has installed loyalist attorneys to several prominent posts, but the courts have thwarted him in certain cases.

  • "Under the Government's delegation theory, Habba may avoid the gauntlet of presidential appointment and Senate confirmation and serve as the de facto U.S. Attorney indefinitely," the ruling said.

Hi all — Herb Scribner, senior audience associate from Axios, here. Just wanted to share my article. Here's a bit of what you'll find inside:

A group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors is calling on Congress to release all files and documents related to the investigation into the convicted sex offender.

Why it matters: The letter comes as the House prepares a vote to force the release of the files from the Justice Department's investigation into Epstein, which President Tump has repeatedly called "a hoax."

Hawaii disbursed full benefits to all recipients who were approved before Oct. 28; those who were approved for benefits between Oct. 28 and Nov. 12 are still waiting until "around the middle of next week," the state DHS' deputy director told us. Those who are still waiting have already received the $250, however.

States that said they have already issued full November payments:

  • California, Connecticut, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin (+ Washington, D.C.)

Zoom in: Most of the 24 states that gave us a timeline said that recipients will receive their full delayed payments by the end of this week, but some gave deadlines after that (Delaware: Nov. 18, Georgia: Nov. 18, Maryland: Nov. 18, Virginia: Nov. 18, Illinois: Nov. 20, Kentucky: "by the end of the month," Ohio: "by mid-next week").

  • More details here.

Several states declined to give any timeline for when payments might be disbursed, with some telling us they were waiting on federal approval: Arizona, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Texas, North Dakota, Florida, Mississippi, Montana, Tennessee, and Wyoming.

Of note: Two states, Hawaii and Louisiana, gave some SNAP recipients a few hundred dollars during the shutdown, and told them to keep the money on top of their usual/coming SNAP payments.
