Thanks to Elon Musk and Donald Trump, Republicans cut $190 million for pediatric cancer research from the funding bill.

Congrats to DOGE on their first victory.

To be fair, taking money from kids with cancer is the most Trumpy thing ever. Runs in the family.

dianamc.bsky.social•69 days ago

It’s too fucking awful.

shonanchris.bsky.social•69 days ago

I mean Trumps spawn stole from a kids cancer charity so obviously those cretins hate sick kids

davelf.bsky.social•69 days ago

America voted for this.

I wonder how long it’s going to take before the light starts to dawn that the priorities are NOT what they were sold.

Thanks to Democrats in the Senate, it is back in the bill, expected to be signed by POTUS BIDEN on 12-21-24. I big FUCK YOU, ELON and Fuhrer von Shitzinpants.

Elon's set prefers to think of them as "useless eaters".

iamsock.bsky.social•69 days ago

Also higher drug costs for no reason

My daughter is a cancer survivor. These clowns are pieces of shit!

"Umm, guys . . . when I said I wanted you to be lethally efficient it was a figure of speech. What is wrong with you?"

Elon's Make a Wish day fulfilled.

Way to stick it to the sick kids.

Children are always first in a genocide

Well Eric Trump stole from kids with cancer, so this is very on brand

Beyond time we stop giving handouts to lazy—and probably illegal—children who try to use “my own bone marrow is trying to kill me” as an excuse to not do free work in meat packing plants.

Those handouts belong to the business owners and oil companies, damnit!

Children are the real cancer.

Tonight. The Senate just passed legislation...to fund pediatric cancer research.

The House passed the bill in March, so the legislation now heads to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law.

Can’t read this any other way than they want to inflict maximum pain

berserkercoach.bsky.social•69 days ago

also, from the perspective of Elon's worth, this is like a minimum wage worker skipping a cup of coffee at Starbucks

sprint6864.bsky.social•69 days ago

In fairness, this is par for the course with Trump and his ilk; fuck over kids with cancer as hard as possible

nclud.bsky.social•69 days ago

The official Republican position. Always

mousterpiece.bsky.social•69 days ago

To paraphrase a line I recall from Nick Kroll and John Mulaney’s Spirits monologue, they’ve had it too good for too long.

“Oh, they’re so brave because they got cancer. Well, I like kids who didn’t get cancer, okay?”

Perfect!
Never heard him say someone is brave because they got dementia. His dad, for instance. Too bad he himself doesn't have to undergo a brain scan before taking office.
Thank you, and RIP Sen. John McCain.
