Trump Lands ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Win
Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.The US Senate handed President Donald Trump a major political victory with its Tuesday passage of a sweeping domestic policy bill, bringing him one step closer to a signature legislative achievement in an administration that has largely governed through executive power.The Senate’s narrow approval of the $3.3 trillion package, which likely has set the stage for the bill to be signed into law later this week, extends the tax breaks that were a centerpiece of Trump’s first administration while delivering on key 2024 campaign promises such as a no-tax-on-tips measure and funding for his border wall.That the bill survived defections from only three senators — Susan Collins of Maine, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky — hints at the tight grip Trump continues to have on his party. It also offers some validation for his tactical gambit of pursuing one mega-bill as a vehicle for his agenda, rather than of a slate of smaller ones.Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy.

Senate GOP Ramps Up Full Court Press on Trump Tax Bill
Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. Republican Party leaders are rushing to overcome lingering internal fights over President Donald Trump’s massive tax and spending package as Democrats launch attacks to exploit the divisions. Senate Republicans were still at odds Monday over how much to cut Medicaid and other social safety-net programs and how rapidly to end Biden-era clean energy tax breaks as Democrats gained the chance to force votes on amendments to the package. Democrats, locked out of power in Washington, are planning to offer amendments during a marathon voting session to exploit the infighting and make the GOP goal of getting holdouts to back the bill as soon as Monday night more difficult. “I’m confident that the bill is going to progress as-is over the next few hours, and it will be on the president’s desk to sign on July 4,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Bloomberg Television on Monday morning. On this edition, Joe and Kailey speak with: Steve Ellis, President of Taxpayers for Common Sense Ashley Davis, Partner at S-3 Group and Republican Strategist Jeanne Sheehan Zaino, Senior Democracy Fellow with the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress and Bloomberg Politics Contributor Lisa Camooso Miller, Former RNC Communications Director and Republican Strategist Marc Goldwein, Senior Vice President and Senior Policy Director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Supreme Court Curbs Universal Injunctions
Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.A sharply divided US Supreme Court limited the power of judges to block government policies nationwide but left unresolved a fight over President Donald Trump’s restrictions on automatic birthright citizenship.The 6-3 ruling Friday said Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship at a minimum won’t take effect for 30 days. The justices returned three cases to the lower courts to consider whether to keep the rules on hold for longer — at least in part of the country if not the whole nation.Trump hailed the decision as a “monumental victory.” By curbing so-called nationwide injunctions, the ruling could help Trump fend off other challenges to his ambitious agenda. Trump and his allies argued that a single judge generally shouldn’t have the power to block a federal government policy across the country.

Senate Rulekeeper Deals Blow to Trump Tax Bill
Watch Joe and Kailey LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.A Senate rulekeeper determination that several major provisions focused on cutting Medicaid spending violate the chamber’s rules deals a heavy blow to Senate Republicans’ tax and spending bill.Senators have been scrambling to finalize their tax bill—a major priority for President Donald Trump—this week to meet a self-imposed July 4 passage deadline. The chamber’s independent rulekeeper’s decision, announced early Thursday in a release from Senate Budget Committee ranking member Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), could delay lawmakers’ attempts to pass the legislation (H.R. 1) under reconciliation without needing Democratic support.The rulings from Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough could result in more than $250 billion in health care cuts being removed from the bill, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, said in a statement.Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy.
