There are two big votes on Capitol Hill tomorrow, and we'll talk about both on the show today. First, the House is taking a bill on Russian sanctions. They're a source of tension with the White House and some businesses in the European Union who say they'll be squeezed. Then: As health care keeps gobbling up more and more of our economy, controlling costs is something everybody agrees on. Ahead of another Senate vote tomorrow, we'll look at the Affordable Care Act's Innovation Center, which finds ways to slow spending while looking out for patients. Plus, some of the best views of the upcoming solar eclipse will be from rural Oregon. That's an economic super nova for one farming town. 

We pay tribute to the summer movie season with a look back at the thriller that put blockbusters on the summer calendar: "Jaws." Plus, we talk short selling with the Wall Street Journal's Ben Eisen and get into Amazon's $12 million lobbying budget and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's message to GOP lawmakers grappling with President Trump's tax plans.

While the Senate keeps on trying to figure out what it's gonna do about health care, there are plenty of other economic policy problems to deal with. The next big project on the table is tax reform. We take a look at how that debate is shaping up. Also on today's show: What do gold, glitz and lawsuits have in common? The Trump International Hotel. Plus, we talk to Clint Rainey from Bloomberg Businessweek about America’s cheese surplus and the "mad cheese scientists" who are trying to solve it. That's right, cheese scientists.   

The Republican effort to get rid of Obamacare and maybe, sometime, replace it is alive again. Or is it? The Congressional Budget Office released a new score this afternoon on GOP efforts to repeal and delay replacement. The bottom line: 32 million more people without insurance by 2026, and a cut in federal deficits by $473 billion in that same period. We'll get you up to speed. Then: local governments all around the country have sent the White House hundreds of projects for consideration under a big infrastructure package. But Trump's push for private investment could mean his base gets left out of the spending spree. Plus: Can baseball movies make a comeback?

After years of trying, the Republican-controlled Congress won't be replacing Obamacare or even repealing it with a replacement TBD. President Trump's new plan, he said today, is "just let Obamacare fail." Leaving aside that's quite a thing to say about a sixth of the economy, you might wonder how insurers are taking the news. Turns out, most of them don't make much money in the individual market anyway. We'll look at UnitedHealth, which is mostly out of the exchanges, but posted huge second-quarter earnings today. Then: The fizzled-out health care reform pushed the dollar to an 11-month low today. Investors are doubting we'll see any of Trump's big promises delivered soon, but D.C. gridlock isn't the only thing driving down the dollar. Plus: How do you know your neighborhood's gentrifying? When South Harlem becomes "SoHa." 

The White House's "Made In America Week" started with a lot of trade news. Trade reps from China and the U.S. will meet Wednesday, and this afternoon we got the administration's objectives for renegotiating NAFTA. We'll talk about both. Then: Back-to-school shopping used to be like Christmas for some retailers, but now it happens all year round. Plus, because it's still summer after all, we have an interview with the inventor of the self-sealing water balloon. Finally, as part of our ongoing series "Way of Life," we'll look at the tough-to replace food jobs that have left Chicago. 

The Senate has a pretty full plate between now and its delayed August recess, but two Republican senators are adding an immigration bill to the list. They're reportedly working with the White House on legislation that would cut legal immigration in half by 2027. That's in line with President Trump's campaign promise, but it directly contradicts another one. Plus, we got the latest inflation numbers today, and June was pretty flat: core prices were up just 10 percent. That's lower than analysts expected and much lower than the Fed's 2 percent target. But why do we want prices to rise anyway? Then: For two decades, the railroad CSX let crews nap under certain circumstances. This spring the new CEO got rid of that practice, shining a light on a frequent topic of discussion in the transportation business.

President Trump's budget director Mick Mulvaney took to the Wall Street Journal's op-ed page today to make the case for "MAGAnomics." There's a lot to unpack. We'll take it line by line, starting with the White House's promise of 3 percent growth. Then: It's performance review season, at least it is at Marketplace. But some companies are finding that a steady stream of feedback is more effective. Plus: Silicon Valley is just 25 percent women, and a new study found many women who leave tech jobs were sexually harassed and passed over for promotions.

The Humphrey Hawkins Act of 1978 codified two fundamental parts of the Federal Reserve. First, the dual mandate of full employment and steady inflation. Second, that twice a year the Fed chair would schlep up to Capitol Hill and tell Congress what's goin' on with the economy. Today was possibly the last Humphrey Hawkins day for Chair Janet Yellen, so we'll go over a few highlights of her testimony. Then: The refugee crisis is still very real in Greece, where the government is struggling to keep up. Now, help is coming from an unlikely source. Plus, when does corporate-funded research cross the line? Google might be skirting it, according to an investigation from The Wall Street Journal.

We told you yesterday about Congress' long to-do list, and today Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell delayed the August recess to address it. But over on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, there's a lot going on. President Trump sent Congress his first nominee for the Federal Reserve and got his nominee for the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs approved. We'll talk about both. Then: Snap shares are trading below their initial public offering price back in March amid advertising worries. We'll look at a possible case of buyer's remorse. Plus: the business of building big stadiums.

Congress is back from its July Fourth break, and there's a lot to do in a short few weeks before the next recess. Health care is at the top of a long agenda, but if it doesn’t pass, the delay will push onto other legislation coming down the pike. We'll break it all down. Then: President Trump and European leaders had pretty different assessments of this weekend's G-20 Summit, so with that in mind, let's do an economic cost-benefit analysis of "America First." Plus, a story of good intentions gone wrong in a couple of the busiest ports in the country. 

We always enjoy Jobs Friday, and this was an especially good one: About 222,000 people got jobs across all kinds of industries last month, and unemployment ticked up a hair because more people are out looking for work. The one black mark on this month's report was wages. Average hourly earnings were barely up in June, and it's the latest in a line of tepid monthly increases. That just isn't the way things are supposed to be working right now. We'll talk about why and break down the rest of the jobs report in the Weekly Wrap. With President Trump at the G-20 this weekend, trade's on the table, too. Plus: the business of summer camp.

The G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, and the street protests happening alongside it are the big global political story. But it's really an economic story, about the winners and losers in global trade. With that in mind, we're starting with the Commerce Department today and the news that the trade deficit fell last month. It's President Trump's favorite, if misguided, economic metrics, but this drop was more about the dollar than anything else. Then: Hobby Lobby is paying a $3 million fine and handing over a bunch of smuggled antiquities today as part of a bizarre story that broke yesterday. We'll get you caught up on everything. Plus: A merging of two home shopping giants that could create a giant in retail, period.

It's not exactly beach reading, but it's not the Fourth of July anymore either. Congress is back from recess next week and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has his sights on reworking and then passing his party's health care bill. Here's the thing though: reading the bill's 142 pages is really tough unless you're an expert. So we called one. Then: President Trump tweeted Monday that gas prices are the lowest they've been in a decade and he'd like to see them go lower. Because facts matter: they're low, but not that low, and the full picture of what "cheap gas" means is a lot more complicated. Plus, for many people it's easier than ever to get by in this economy without carrying any currency. So what's the future of cash look like?

A Pew Research survey shows that positive attitudes toward the U.S. have declined from 64 percent approval during Barack Obama's presidency to 49 percent in 2017. President Trump as individual scored lower with the international community, 22 percent of people have confidence in him to do the right thing in international affairs. We'll talk about the USA brand and the upcoming G-20 summit as the President is faced with the news of a longer-range missile tests out of North Korea. Also on today's show: The business of making Spider-Man. Marketplace's Adriene Hill talks to the writers of the upcoming movie "Spider-Man: Homecoming."
