Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to dissect the explosive feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump—two billionaires with their own media platforms and no off switch. Wolff recounts how Musk, cast out by Trump, has resurfaced with threats to bankroll a third party and destabilize GOP control. Trump, ever theatrical, responds by smearing Musk as a drug-addled foreigner, even suggesting deportation. But beneath the chaos lies a real threat: Musk's billions could tip the Senate and House, risking everything for Trump. Wolff warns this isn't just noise—it's a blood feud. And in Trump's world, dominance matters more than governance. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Congress has passed President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" after back-to-back late nights for both the House and Senate. The massive spending bill now goes to President Trump's desk to be signed into law just on time for the Fourth of July deadline that was set. The passing of the bill is victory for Speaker Mike Johnson and for the president himself. Fox's John Saucier speaks to Jared Halpern, Fox News Radio White House Correspondent and podcast anchor, who says its another victory for President Trump and the Republicans, and shares with us the atmosphere in the capital during Independence Day.

The House on Thursday moved to approve the largest-ever cuts to federal safety net programs, the last step before the measure goes to President Donald Trump's desk. After the Senate very narrowly passed the bill, House GOP leaders ushered it past resistance from conservatives wary of adding trillions to the federal debt and moderates concerned about its cuts to Medicaid. Meanwhile, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has continued to pursue his anti-vaccine agenda, despite promises that he would not. Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Maya Goldman of Axios, and Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The Lancet's “Evaluating the Impact of Two Decades of USAID Interventions and Projecting the Effects of Defunding on Mortality up to 2030: A Retrospective Impact Evaluation and Forecasting Analysis,” by Daniella Medeiros Cavalcanti, et al.

//The Wire//2300Z July 3, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: AX ATTACK STRIKES GERMANY. JUDGES CONTINUE TO HALT IMMIGRATION AND DEPORTATION POLICIES. RECONCILIATION BILL PASSES IN CONGRESS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Germany: Dissent is mounting following a wave of assaults at public swimming pools throughout the nation. Following the assault of 8x children by Syrian immigrants last week, German authorities have implemented a nationwide media campaign to educate immigrants to the idea that it is not acceptable to assault children.Continuing the trend of violent attacks, an unidentified assailant conducted an ax attack on a train in Bavaria this morning. 4x people were wounded in the attack. The assailant has not been identified (as is standard policy) however locals who witnessed the attack state that attacker was Syrian, however this has not been confirmed yet.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Despite the recent ruling from the US Supreme Court regarding the judgements of lower courts, a federal judge (Judge Brian Cogan) has blocked the White House's efforts to remove the Temporary Protection Status (TPS) from roughly 500,000 Haitian migrants. Separately, a different judge (Judge Randolph Moss) ruled against President Trump's order to increase scrutiny on those seeking political asylum in the United States from Mexico.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Congress, controversy continues regarding the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB). Following last-minute political deals, filibusters, and various political moves, the bill was passed in the House today and is expected to be on President Trump's desk for signature tomorrow. Considering this bill's long history, being introduced in the House, sent to the Senate where changes were made, and then sent back to the House, it will probably be some time before the true contents of the omnibus bill are examined closely. Most of the political pork added to the bill to pretend to appease voters in the House was immediately stripped by the Senate, and further changes were made once the bill landed back in the House.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

After a marathon session on Wednesday night, Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives are poised to pass a massive tax and spending bill which President Trump has said he wants to sign on July 4. On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate passed their version of the bill after a tie-breaking vote from Vice President JD Vance. The bill passed by the Senate is expected to add $3.3 trillion to the federal deficit, according to the Congressional Budget Office, while making steep cuts to Medicaid benefits to help pay for trillions of dollars in tax cuts.    In Oregon, roughly 1 in 3 residents get their insurance through Medicaid. According to Oregon Health Authority’s Medicaid director Emma Sandoe, an estimated  100,000 to 200,000 Oregonians could lose their Medicaid benefits under the bill. On Wednesday, Gov. Tina Kotek and former Gov. John Kitzhaber, the architect of Oregon’s state Medicaid program, urged U.S. Rep. Cliff Bentz of Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District to vote against the bill. Bentz is the sole Republican member of Oregon’s Congressional delegation and roughly 40% of the residents in his district are enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan. Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxine Dexter of Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District is a pulmonary and critical care physician by training who testified against the bill on Capitol Hill and introduced amendments to it which were blocked by Republicans. She joins us to talk about the impacts of the Medicaid cuts for Oregonians and the new work and recertification requirements for Medicaid enrollees. “Think Out Loud” also made multiple attempts to request Rep. Bentz to participate in this conversation.

50th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich joins me today. Newt's new book Trump's Triumph is a New York Times best seller. Newt documents President Trump's greatest comeback in political history. Despite a 9 year effort to destroy him, President Trump won popular and electoral votes and became the first president to be nonconsecutively re-elected since President Grover Cleveland. Now that the big, beautiful bill has passed the Senate, President Trump is one step closer to fulfilling his agenda and the promise he made on the campaign trail. If President Trump can keep the House in 2026, the MAGA revolution will be fully institutionalized and set the base for Republicans to win the general election in 2028.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is delaying the final vote with a marathon floor speech that started just before 5 a.m. ET. In the early hours of Thursday, the House voted 219-213 to open debate and tee the package up for final vote, due in the coming hours. If it passes, it will then head to Trump's desk The development marked a victory for Johnson and Trump who had been whipping votes since the Senate's passage on Tuesday.U.S. employers added 147,000 jobs in June as the U.S. labor market continued to show surprising resilience. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1 percent from 4.2 percent in May, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Hiring rose modestly from a revised 144,000 in the previous month, beating economists' expectations of fewer than 118,000 new jobs and a rise in the unemployment rate.

SHORT BLOG BECAUSE ROCKIES EAT THE SHOW AT 12:30 And I'm off tomorrow and Monday so we're talking Independence Day and the Not-So Big Beautiful Bill today.OF COURSE THE BILL IS GOING TO PASS What did I say yesterday about the fake drama about the Big Beautiful Bill? I told you that there would be a good show of some of the members of the House who said this was a garbage bill and the Senate made it worse before they voted to move it along. And that is EXACTLY what happened. A seven hour procedural vote that cleared the deck for the bill to pass today, so everyone in the House can go home and talk about what a hard battle they fought but this is just how things work in Washington and gosh they wish it was different. So predictable. The bill should pass this morning. I have mixed feelings about this. I'm glad the tax cuts are permanent because if taxes had jumped right now it would crush people who are already being crushed by inflation's impact. But this bill just moves us closer to insolvency. I hope beyond all hope I'm wrong. Please let me be wrong.WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE BILL? Well I've gathered up some stuff from people who think this bill is horrible and why. Here the Committee for a Responsible Federal Government shows how this bill is the biggest budget buster of ALL TIME. This column points out that the bill does nothing to deal with the crisis looming for Social Security and Medicare and even speeds up Social Security's demise. This column talks about the death of regular order, which will absolutely come back to bite the GOP again the next time the Democrats have a slim majority and big ideas, although that column does the best job of giving ALL the pros and cons and is worth a full read. This part on why they are using a reconciliation process instead of doing it the way it should be done is really good:The bill's secret weapon is something called budget reconciliation—a special process that allows legislation affecting federal spending, revenues, or debt to pass the Senate with just 51 votes instead of the usual 60. This procedural advantage was established by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to streamline budget decisions. But it's become the preferred method for passing major partisan legislation when one party controls Congress by narrow margins. Reconciliation was originally designed to ensure that Congress could implement budget resolutions by reconciling actual spending and revenue legislation with overall fiscal targets. The idea was to prevent individual appropriations or tax bills from undermining broader budget agreements. Over time, creative lawmakers discovered they could use reconciliation for much more ambitious purposes. Any provision that affects federal spending, revenues, or debt levels can potentially qualify for the expedited process. The current bill qualifies because virtually every provision either raises or lowers taxes, increases or decreases spending, or affects government debt levels. Tax cuts reduce revenues. Healthcare changes affect Medicaid spending. Even seemingly unrelated provisions can be crafted to meet reconciliation requirements. Reconciliation comes with strict limits enforced by the Senate Parliamentarian under rules known as the “Byrd Rule,” named after former Senator Robert Byrd. Provisions must have more than incidental budgetary effects, can't increase deficits beyond the budget window, and must relate primarily to budgetary rather than policy matters. These constraints force bill drafters to be creative about how they structure policies to qualify for fast-track treatment. Sometimes this leads to awkward compromises or sunset clauses that make policies temporary when sponsors want them to be permanent. The time limits built into reconciliation—typically 20 hours of Senate debate—compress normal legislative processes that might otherwise take months into just a few days of intense activity. This speed prevents the kind of detailed examination that complex legislation normally requires.

You'll hear spirited commentary, key insights on overreach from both tech and government, and a deep dive into American exceptionalism.

In this milestone four-year anniversary episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright dissect the high-stakes drama surrounding Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill.” They break down the House's record-shattering procedural votes, the Senate's last-minute amendments, and why the bill's spectacle might be engineered narrative warfare rather than genuine urgency. The hosts debate whether Trump's relentless push is a trap to expose congressional dysfunction or a sincere attempt to codify his agenda, exploring “narrative shielding,” the switch theory, and the possibility of a financial reset hidden in plain sight. The show dives into the surreal optics of pajama-clad lawmakers, Elon Musk's feud with Trump over the bill, and the “pincer strategy” that may be uniting their public opposition and support into a single play. Jon and Burning Bright also connect the dots to election integrity revelations, with Chuck Grassley's bombshell on Chinese fake driver's licenses and John Ratcliffe's review of the CIA's 2016 Russian influence assessment. Packed with humor, existential frustration, and reminders not to cheerlead mindlessly, this episode challenges listeners to question every narrative, especially the ones they want to believe.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon unpacks the House showdown over Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill, detailing how the Senate's version gutted major promises like eliminating taxes on tips and overtime by imposing strict income limits. He covers Hakeem Jeffries' marathon floor speech that set a new record, the backroom deals that secured Republican votes, and why the bill still falls short of delivering true tax relief. Jon also spotlights June's remarkable jobs report, with native-born employment soaring while foreign-born numbers fell sharply, marking what he calls a “domestic labor renaissance.” Other stories include Microsoft laying off thousands of American workers in favor of H1B visa hires, the Supreme Court taking up a case on transgender athletes in school sports, new US concessions to China on semiconductor exports, and a fresh look at the White House's payroll. Jon wraps up with lively chat commentary, reflections on four years of the Devolution series, and a preview of Badlands Media's Independence Day programming.

(The Center Square) – Against all odds, U.S. House Republicans finally united around the Senate-revised “big, beautiful bill” and passed it in a 218-214 vote Thursday afternoon, sending the multitrillion-dollar budget reconciliation package to the president's desk. The bill's passage marks yet another herculean feat by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who not only persuaded – with President Donald Trump's help – the most recalcitrant GOP holdouts to vote for the bill as is, but also passed it by a self-imposed July 4 deadline. The $3.3 trillion megabill, formerly titled the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, hikes the debt ceiling by $5 trillion and implements the bulk of Trump's tax, energy, border and defense agenda. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story:  https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_0000b183-fc4d-4f26-b600-3dd62984e978.html

The Senate approved President Trump's megabill, which includes tax cuts and boosts border security and defense programs. Cuts to Medicaid in the bill are unpopular with some Senators and the general public. Also, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is planning to loosen or eliminate some gun regulations.

The jury in the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial delivers partial verdicts on four of five charges but remains deadlocked on the most serious count.

Pat and Stu in for Glenn. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed in the Senate yesterday and heads back to the House. How much government spending will be added to fund this bill, and how much will be cut? A part of the bill that is up for debate is something called “Trump accounts,” where the president plans to give $1,000 for each new baby born between now and 2028. Pat and Stu discuss the downside of what that would lead to, especially if illegal aliens are allowed to qualify for these accounts as well. A new poll shows that Democrats have a lower level of pride in their country than in 2001. But a further dive into the numbers show how much the change has occurred over the last decade. Is it because they were not ever truly proud to be American, or is it because of Trump derangement syndrome? Sean “Diddy” Combs was found not guilty on three of the five charges, with guilty verdicts on two counts of bringing a prostitute across state lines. What does this outcome say about the state of our legal system?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, there is this Marxist-Islamist movement infiltrating U.S. institutions, especially the Democratic Party. ‘On Power' is a unique educational tool on these threats and it explores the ideological threats of Marxism and Islamism to American liberty, rights, sovereignty, and faith. It delves into the historical, philosophical, and political contexts of these issues, contrasting the Judeo-Christian belief system with Marxist-Islamist ideologies.  Later, Zahran Mamdani urges progressives to hold firm to their convictions, advocating for policies like student debt cancellation and Medicare for All, alongside radical goals like BDS and seizing the means of production. Mamdani is a Stalinist who's agenda threatens property rights and liberty. He is masking authoritarian intentions with ‘appealing' promises. In addition, Asra Nomani joins the program to explain that socialist Muslims have strategically infiltrated the Democratic Party over two decades, leveraging identity politics and progressive alliances to gain influence. This agenda aligns with socialist policies and critiques of capitalism, reshaping the party's direction. Also, David Trulio, President and CEO of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute calls in to announce Mark's ‘On Power' book signing, lecture and dinner on August 17, 2025 at the Reagan Library. Finally, Steve Scalise to discuss the big, beautiful bill that passed in the Senate. It will prevent a major tax hike, eliminating taxes on tips and overtime for workers like servers, and funding border security with wall construction and advanced tech for Border Patrol. It boosts energy production in ANWR and the Gulf, cuts $1.5 trillion in waste, and promotes economic growth. The House must now pass the bill and send it to Trump's desk.

The Senate passed President Donald Trump's spending bill on Tuesday after Vice President JD Vance arrived to break a 50-50 tie. The bill is now headed back to the House where Republican Speaker Mike Johnson can only afford to lose three members and still pass the bill by a party line vote. To learn more about what this means for Republicans' big beautiful bill and the looming July Fourth deadline, we spoke with Nicholas Wu, a congressional reporter for Politico.And in headlines: President Trump tours "Alligator Alcatraz," Florida's new migrant detention center, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says Trump's tariff wars pretty much stopped it from cutting interest rates, and the Trump-Musk feud is reignited.Show Notes:Check out Nicholas's work – www.politico.com/staff/nicholas-wuCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

President Trump's “big, beautiful bill” is a bad piece of legislation. It includes trillions of dollars in tax cuts that are very much tilted toward the rich, along with savage cuts to Medicaid, nutrition assistance and green energy.And on Tuesday, July 1, the Senate passed it in a 51-50 vote, with Vice President JD Vance as the tiebreaker.But bad policy only matters if people know about it, and a lot of people don't — partly because there are an overwhelming number of provisions, and partly because the Trump administration is already flooding the zone with so many other major policy fights.So I asked Matt Yglesias, the author of the Slow Boring newsletter, back on the show to go through what is in this bill and why it has been so hard to build momentum for pushback.
