Senate Democrats' massive victory

Democrats on Sunday passed a sweeping $740 billion tax, climate and health care bill after 24 straight hours of debate. The Inflation Reduction Act includes lowering the cost of prescription drugs, raising taxes on corporations - and the largest investment in clean energy and emissions cuts the Senate has ever passed. Plus: Why this weekend’s conflict in Gaza was different. And: rents are skyrocketing everywhere. Guests: Axios' Alayna Treene, Barak Ravid and Emily Peck.
