From Washington: The One “Big Beautiful Bill” Faces it’s Biggest Roadblock Yet

Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has struck several
provisions from the 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' ruling they violate
the Byrd Rule — a strict set of criteria budget reconciliation
bills must follow to avoid a filibuster. The cuts—ranging from gun
suppressor deregulation to Medicaid caps—have angered House
Republicans, who passed the bill by just one vote. Senior
Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains what was
removed, the implications for the bill’s survival, and what
Republicans might do next. He also weighs in on the fallout from
U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and the sharp partisan
divide over their impact. Later, Senator Marsha Blackburn
(R-TN) shares what she learned about the challenging and often
dangerous duties ICE agents possess after experiencing it
first-hand, and why she remains optimistic about the potential
impact the "Big Beautiful Bill" could have if it passes. Learn more
