This week on Face the Nation, Memorial Day marks the unofficial start to summer, we kick it off with a hat tip to the nation's military as President Trump gives this year’s commencement speech at West Point. But as these new members of the world's most powerful military go forward, are we doing enough to support them? We talked with some veterans serving in Congress about the value of public service and honor those who've protected us. On Capitol Hill, the president's One Big Beautiful Bill squeaks through the House. What kind of impact will some of those tax and spend provisions have on Americans? And can they survive the Senate? We ask House Speaker Mike Johnson and talk with the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Jim Himes. Some humanitarian aid is returning to Gaza after a monthslong Israeli blockade, but will it be in time -- and enough -- to help those in desperate need of food? We talk to Cindy McCain, head of the U.N.'s World Food Programme.
