TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans' plan to require states to share the cost of SNAP benefits was blocked by the chamber's rules, complicating their efforts to pass a large policy bill by July 4, as the cost-sharing proposal violated the Byrd Rule and would have required a 60-vote filibuster, forcing them to reconsider their approach to funding cuts in the farm bill and nutrition programs.
