The U.S. Senate passed the first procedural vote on President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill in a dramatic late-night vote. The vote was 51-49, with all Democrats voting no. Brendan Buck, Molly Jong-Fast, and Nicholas Wu join The Weekend to discuss what's next for the bill and what it means for Americans across the country. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam of Virginia also joins The Weekend to discuss President Trump's insistence that U.S. strikes completely "obliterated," Iran's nuclear program despite widespread disputes over that claim.

Yesterday, President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris attended the funeral of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, following a targeted political attack. Political violence has been steadily rising across the country and party lines, with several incidents occurring in just the past two weeks. Joyce Vance and George Conway join The Weekend to examine this troubling pattern and explore what—and who—is missing from the national conversation. Later, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear weighs in on how proposed Medicaid cuts in the GOP's "Big Beautiful Bill," backed by President Trump, could affect hospitals across his state.

President Donald Trump is feeling emboldened as he comes off a seismic win from this week's Supreme Court hearings and Congress moving forward with his One Big Beautiful Bill. So the question is, how do Democrats fight back as checks and balances on this president wither and die? Plus, Trump's effort to erode deportation due process. Rep. Pramila Jayapal joins The Weekend to share her thoughts on how the courts are enabling Trump's worst instincts on immigration.
