In this episode of the Bill Press Pod, Bill is joined by Peter Cohn, Managing Editor for Policy and Legislation at CQ Roll Call, to discuss the comprehensive and controversial bill that aims to encompass nearly all of Donald Trump's legislative priorities. This "Big Beautiful Bill," spanning over 1,100 pages, seeks to extend the 2017 tax cuts and includes several provisions impacting healthcare, military spending, border security, and environmental policies. Cohn details how the bill could add $2.4 to $3 trillion to the deficit and discusses the strategies for offsetting costs, including significant Medicaid cuts. Additionally, Cohen touches on lesser-publicized elements like lifting restrictions on mining and logging on public lands, resuming construction on Trump's border wall, and a provision for a $25 billion Golden Dome. With only 27% public approval according to a recent poll, the bill faces a complex path ahead, even as it seeks passage by the Senate by July 4th.Today, Bill features Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

In recent days, the Senate and House have both passed versions of their own budget resolution, one of the key steps in constructing a so-called reconciliation bill that will cut spending and taxes and enact GOP legislative priorities without having to deal with the usual Senate roadblocks. But there is a long way to go until something heads to the president's desk, so we are going to talk about what's been happening and what is going on with CQ Roll Call's illustrious Budget Tracker, David Lerman.

Some of the Trump administration's dramatic funding and policy shifts are facing major pushback for the first time — not from Congress, but from the courts. Federal judges around the country are attempting to pump the brakes on efforts to freeze government spending, shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development, eliminate access to health-related webpages and datasets, and limit grant funding provided by the National Institutes of Health. Meanwhile, Congress is off to a slow start in trying to turn President Donald Trump's agenda into legislation, although Medicaid is clearly high on the list for potential funding cuts. Shefali Luthra of The 19th, Jessie Hellmann of CQ Roll Call, and Maya Goldman of Axios News join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these topics and more. Also this week, Rovner interviews Mark McClellan, director of the Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy and a former health official during the George W. Bush administration, about the impact of cutting funding to research universities. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: Axios' “Nonprofit Hospital Draws Backlash for Super Bowl Ad,” by Maya Goldman.

Kennedy Jr., faced sharp questioning from senators this week, particularly over his history of vaccine denialism.
