Summary

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.
