It's Monday June 30th.
I'm Jane Kostin and this is what today the show that celebrates LeBron James deciding to play a record 23rd NBA season LeBron will not just be the oldest active player 41 years old There are dozens of NBA players who will be playing James this season who were not born when he entered the NBA On today's show,
President Donald Trump hints at a possible TikTok buyer and Trump pressures Israeli officials to drop Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial.
But let's start with a Republican big, not very beautiful bill,
which President Trump wants on his desk by July 4th, as in this Friday.
And like with any group assignment,
getting this absolute shit show of a bill across the finish line will take a lot of teamwork from people who are not very,
let's say, teamwork inclined.
And the group project itself?
It sucks.
If passed,
the big beautiful bill would greenlight the single biggest cut to America's social safety net in decades.
Under the Senate version,
more than 11 million people could end up without health care coverage over the next decade.
That's according to the latest projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
And millions of people could lose access to food assistance,
mainly to keep funding giant tax cuts passed during Trump's first term.
Immigration and customs enforcement would get a multi-billion dollar budget bump.
Oh, and the bill was projected to add trillions of dollars to the national debt,
a fact which Washington Democratic Senator Patty Murray made sure to highlight on the Senate floor Sunday.
