Does cutting off cancer research make sense to anyone?

Polite Patty has not received her instructions regarding the Gestapo.

So Polite Patty will pretend that nothing happened.

You can't possibly expect her to drop everything and address every fire that this administration sets. Senator Murray is doing more than most other dems. Why don't you go taunt a senator who's been silent, instead of attacking one who IS saying something because it's not what you wanted her to say?

You really think words are going to make any difference?

She is so useless that she cannot even name the Democrats that voted for cloture.

Sometimes words can do a lot.

If she were my senator maybe I would have a problem with her actions or lack thereof. But this clip is clearly taken from some sort of hearing regarding the attacks on NIH funding. Why are you upset that she's not addressing a totally different situation here?

Whataboutism, really? You realize what you're doing is a method used to sow discord amongst allies, right?

I'm also frustrated and terrified. I believe the election was stolen and can't understand why ANY of this was/is allowed to happen. But the clip we're commenting on is NOT about ICE arrests.

Thx Bernie. I'll put on my protesting shoes in 5!

They completely cut funding for the genetic disease NF, which leads to deadly cancers in children and young adults. I guess Republicans like dead kids?

No. But the point is for them you make $ not save lives

The cruelty is the point, isn’t it. Dear lord how do we get this disastrous administration out??? Thanks for keeping up the fight Senator. I can only imagine how exhausting & frustrating it must be.

No one with a brain thinks they make since

Trump gutted cancer trial research on women, claiming to be DEI! Drugs and life saving treatments will be tested and tailored to cure - white man only! Read that again. Trump is a sociopath and is turning this country into a shit hole.

Will cutting off research to eliminate cancer make America great again? Not likely.

please look into this

Thanks for speaking up for scientific research. So incredibly value for our health and economic future.

Decorum shmorum. If you refuse to fight, resign.

Is @cantwell.senate.gov still working? I’d like to know what she’s doing to protect our Federal government, democracy, research capabilities, public schools, veterans, Social Security, Medicaid, rule of law….anything!

I have a client that had been in a clinical trial for rheumatoid arthritis medication. The funds were cut and the original data was destroyed. All that time and money wasted.

It makes about as much sense as letting a teenager fire people who work at NNSA.
