  It's Thursday, June 5th.

  I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day,

• 00:06

  the show that would like one 24-hour period in which a Trump administration spokesperson,

• 00:11

  in this case, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce,

• 00:14

  doesn't say something low-key terrifying.

• 00:17

  The thing that matters when it comes to American policy and what's happening is what President Trump thinks and says.

• 00:25

  Well, I guess today is not that day.

• 00:30

  On today's show,

• 00:32

  Doge volunteers become official government employees making lots of official money.

• 00:36

  Fun!

• 00:37

  But let's start with the Senate,

• 00:39

  the current location of President Donald Trump's big beautiful bill that apparently no one actually read or seems to like.

• 00:47

  That's the only conclusion I can come to after hearing numerous members of Congress,

• 00:51

  including Republican members of the House of Representatives who voted for the president's massive spending bill that would kick millions of Americans off their health care.

• 00:59

  say they didn't actually read the text of the bill they voted for.

• 01:03

  Take Nebraska Republican Representative Mike Flood.

• 01:06

  He voted for the big, not very beautiful bill,

• 01:08

  but he didn't read it and missed a part of the bill that would essentially prevent judges from holding litigants who defy court orders in contempt.

• 01:16

  Litigants like, say, hypothetically, members of the Trump administration.

• 01:20

  And I'm not just saying he didn't read it.
