GOP Passes Megabill, Betrays Its Own Voters

House Republicans deliver on Trump's Independence Day deadline,
passing the Senate's version of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill,
which will cut taxes for the rich, gut Medicaid for the poor, and
explode the deficit beyond all recognition. Jen Psaki, host of
The Briefing with Jen Psaki on MSNBC, joins Dan to discuss how
Mike Johnson and Trump won over the bill's GOP holdouts, what
happens now that it's passed, and how it changes the story of the
2026 midterm elections. Jen and Dan discuss Trump's threat to
deport Zohran Mamdani and Paramount's $16 million settlement with
Trump. Then, Congressman Ro Khanna stops by to talk about what's
next for Democrats now that the most unpopular bill in history is
set to become law.
