In this urgent episode of Sane(ish), Jo is joined by sits Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut following a powerful Capitol Hill hearing on the Republican “Big Beautiful Betrayal” bill—or as Jo calls it, the “Billionaire Boner Bill.” Together, they break down the real-world consequences of this catastrophic legislation, which threatens to kick millions off Medicaid and slash SNAP benefits, all to fund massive tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

Senator Murphy and Jojo share heartbreaking stories from the hearing, including a mother of an autistic child whose family’s survival depends on Medicaid, and a former public school educator who knows firsthand what it means to rely on food assistance. They discuss how the bill would devastate working families, children with disabilities, and the most vulnerable Americans—while padding the pockets of the ultra-wealthy.
