The House of Representatives has passed Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, but how will the Senate change it? And the Pentagon has officially accepted the plane gifted by Qatar.

President Trump is hoping that Congressional Republicans can coalesce around a plan to cut spending, but the bill is facing an uphill battle among Republicans who disagree with how much to cut, Medicaid requirements, food assistance, and local and state tax deductions. Panelists Leah Murray and Adam Gardiner break down what's needed to move the so-called "big beautiful bill" forward.

Utah State Board of Education member Carol Lear is a plaintiff in the lawsuit and joins Lindsay Aerts to walk through their arguments.

Utah's public labor unions say they've gathered 320,000 signatures to put a referendum on the ballot to repeal H.B.267, Utah's ban on collective bargaining. But, now supporters of the bill have over a month to try to get voters to change their minds. Kevin Greene is the state director for the conservative Americans for Prosperity; his group is leading the effort.
