The U.S. House has passed its reconciliation plan, and this time, the “one, big, beautiful bill” (which the sausage-making will take time) looks to cut taxes and slow federal spending, but let’s wait to see the final result.

In this episode—and the show notes below—we’ll explore the spending plan details, Texas’s school choice bills, the upcoming U.S. jobs report, tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and more.
