Some Republicans denounced President Trump's massive tax and spending bill, but eventually caved in and passed it. And now, Democrats are preparing to make this bill a key focus for the 2026 midterms. Minnesota Rep. Angie Craig, Arshi Siddiqui, and Eugene Craig join The Weekend to discuss.

Critics are calling President Donald Trump's approach to immigration cruel after a new court filing by Kilmar Abrego Garcia's attorneys argued that during Garcia's time at the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador he suffered psychological and physical torture. Also the first detainees have arrived at the Florida detention center dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz." Florida State Senator Shevrin Jones and Immigration Attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg join The Weekend to discuss President Trump's immigration policy.

Congress passed President Trump's budget bill despite weeks of concern raised by Republicans over the debt limit.

Then, Jodi Grant discusses the Trump administration's decision to withhold nearly $7 billion in school grants.
