Scott and Jessica break down President Biden’s aggressive cancer diagnosis, which comes just as a new book claims his team may have hidden signs of serious decline during the 2024 campaign. Meanwhile, Trump’s Middle East trip makes waves as his domestic agenda stalls. To appease hardline conservatives, Republicans push changes to the megabill—including stricter Medicaid work requirements, cuts to green energy tax credits, and the removal of Medicaid access for undocumented immigrants. Then, former federal prosecutor and Stay Tuned host Preet Bharara joins to unpack the growing legal and ethical crises surrounding the Trump administration. Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov.
