Thank you. It is beyond disgusting. I don’t understand why every one of your colleagues (and every elected official at every level of government) do not pound the table every day over the harm these pointless cuts are causing. No thinking person would disagree.

Senator, you need to call out Russell Vought for the hypocrite he is. One of his daughters has cystic fibrosis and now benefits from the Vertex drug Trikafta, which was developed with a huge investment from American taxpayers.

There is no money in saving those lives they can't work the coal mines and offer a return on investment. -Elon behind closed doors

The true cost of the NIH cuts won't be felt for months if not years.

And it's gonna take us years to undo the damage one Orange Rapist did to the whole country.

LOL...WE KNOW. PROBLEM IS FINGER WAGGING IS OUR RESPONSE TO A COUP..."YOU SHOULD FEEL AWFUL YOU SILLY FASCISTS!"

I can’t hit the heart button on this one. They are essentially committing murder by stopping funding and denying access to clinical trials. They are killing children.

@vanhollen.senate.gov I would like to know why nothing has been said or done about Trump admitting that the election was rigged for him. He did on Jan 19th, again with the FILA soccer president and below. So much suffering could have been avoided. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjBGw2pB/

My father is about to start immunotherapy, this infuriates me that they’re taking away funding for such LIFE SAVING research.

Why did Elon spend $300 million to help Trump win the presidency?

Rest assured — it wasn’t about principle. It wasn’t about government efficiency. It was never about making America a better country.

Rather — it was about Musk’s wallet.

It always was.
