Republican Megabill Faces Setbacks as Senate Parliamentarian Strikes Key Provisions

The Senate parliamentarian has dealt significant blows to the Republican megabill, resulting in the removal of numerous provisions ahead of a looming July 4 deadline. Notably, key proposals related to SNAP benefit cuts and civil service overhaul efforts have been rejected for violating Senate rules, especially the Byrd Rule. Despite attempts to salvage aspects of the bill, many GOP plans, including offshore drilling provisions and cuts to the CFPB, have been labeled as non-compliant. The ongoing situation reflects challenges for the GOP as they navigate budgetary constraints and seek to streamline their legislative agenda.
