Can Trump's Health Care Cuts Be Stopped?

The health care of 10 million Americans is at risk as President
Trump's massive tax cut legislation makes its way to the Senate.
Will Majority Leader John Thune be able to cobble together a bill
that the "Medicaid moderates," budget hawks, and hardliners can
all agree on? Meanwhile, Stephen Miller freaks out at ICE
leadership for failing to detain and deport enough immigrants,
corporate America begins cutting ties with law firms that bent
the knee to Trump, and Democratic presidential hopefuls begin
testing the waters. Jon and Lovett embrace the schadenfreude,
discuss the lies Speaker Mike Johnson is peddling to win over his
Senate colleagues, and evaluate Senator Joni Ernst's "we're all
going to die" message to her constituents. Then, Jon talks to
Senator Brian Schatz about putting an end to Democratic navel
gazing and fighting to stop Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."
