  • The time has finally come for President Trump to work with Congress.

  • And he's trying to make it count by cramming everything he can into one bill.

  • One of the most important elements in this package will be extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts.

  • I'm calling for no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.

  • You shouldn't be having people on Medicaid getting more than Medicare.

  • You shouldn't be having the people who should work, can work, getting benefits without working.

  • This should include full funding for a record increase in border security personnel and retention bonuses for ICE and Border Patrol.

  • credit to $2,500 per child,

  • establish optional savings account for newborn babies with a $1,000 credit added,

  • and strengthen paid family leave.

  • Trump's calling this package, we call it the one big beautiful bill.

  • But if it's so beautiful,

  • why is he having trouble convincing some of his fellow Republicans to vote for it?

  • Hey there, this is Peter Kafka.

  • I'm the host of Channels, the show about what happens when tech and media collide.

  • And this week, we're talking to Adam Mosseri, who runs Instagram and who also runs Threads.

  • And he told me what Threads was originally going to be called.

  • I called it Textagram as a joke,

  • which unfortunately stuck as a name for months before I managed to kill it.
