Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is Ugly on the Inside – May 19th, 2025

Trump is proudly promoting his latest masterpiece: the “Big Beautiful Bill.” But like most things in MAGA-world, the branding is shinier than the substance.

This bill is packed with cuts to Medicaid, funding for mass deportations, and a slew of policies that read less like legislation and more like a wishlist from a dystopian fever dream. Unsurprisingly, it’s facing major hurdles in Congress, and not just from Democrats.

Tonight, Don breaks down what’s actually in the bill, who it would hurt, and what happens if it somehow passes. Spoiler: it’s not “big” and “beautiful”…it’s just brutal.

Let’s unpack the spin, the substance, and what it means for everyday Americans who aren’t billionaires or immigration officers.
