Is the "Big Beautiful Bill" a political disaster waiting to explode for Republicans? Dive into the controversy surrounding this massive nearly 1000 page budget bill that’s dividing the GOP and sparking heated debates nationwide

Why are key Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene clueless about its contents? And why aren’t Democrats fighting harder against this divisive legislation? Tara and Jake unpack the bill’s hidden traps, from $930 billion in Medicaid cuts to slashing SNAP benefits, and explore whether it’s a “poison pill” that could cost Republicans their voter base.

Is the BBB a trap for Republicans, or a bold move?
