These people eliminated 190 million dollars in childhood cancer research money to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history. I’m a no.

Are you retarded or do you just think the American public are? The bill is supposed to keep the govt funded until you get the 2025 budget done, which by the way you fucking clowns should have gotten done *before* the 2025 fiscal year started in Oct 2024. Your faux outrage is pathetic.
"I HAVE 60K MILES OF BLOOD VESSELS FILLING MY BODY AND IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH BLOOD CELL OF THOSE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY CEO'S AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT. DENY. DELAY. DEPOSE"
I could name a few politicians that deserve to have their paychecks cut,THAT would save BILLIONS . ! So Sir, what are you guys going to do about it?When will there be less talking and more action?Actions speak louder than words, in this case severe action is required to stop trump b4 he is sworn in
The “pro-life” republicans cut children’s cancer research money? They’re NOT “pro-life”, they PRO-BIRTH. After the child is born, they will let them die of cancer for their bank accounts to grow! To quote John Prine, “ some humans ain’t human”!
You are my Senator. Fight hard!! We need to to fight as hard as you can. As if all our lives depend on it because with Trump in charge of our bird flu, it may actually be our lives.
Remember Republicans actually asked old people to die for the economy during COVID.
Economic theory can be incredibly complex but a couple of things are really obvious. Deficit spending like Bidenomics doesn't greatly drive inflation because the money largely goes to available untapped labor resources to increase future wealth for all. Tax cuts for the rich only benefit the rich.
Musk has never been elected to any office. Trump has lied and distorted his entire life. Yet, they, together, vetoed a bipartisan plan to avoid a government shutdown. They also vetoed hundreds of millions of $$ of research to fight childhood cancer. No surprise for either of these, so-called, men.
I will try to repeat this every single day. Trump and unelected President Musk have eliminated $190MM of Cancer Research for Our Children! Why? So Musk and his billionaire buddies can make more $$.
"Good ideas don't require force" 🤔
So the Union used force to keep Southern States from secession because a United States without chattel slavery was NOT a good idea?
If all the slave states seceded from the union there wouldn't be any slavery in the union anymore...even though there were still slaves in the northern states.
To be clear: slavery requires force and is therefore not a good idea. But neither is starting a war that killed 600000 people.
Today is my sister's birthday but she died at 18 yrs from leukemia. So, it's another birthday where I will remember her brief life before she was so sick and after when she faced many challenging treatments that bought her only a bit more time with us and a lot of suffering.
This is beyond disgusting. My granddaughter had a cancerous tumor in her leg when she was a toddler. She was enrolled in a clinical trial here in FL at Nemours. The meds she took reduced & killed the tumor, saving her leg. She's healthy, climbing rock walls and on a swim team thanks to research.
What a shocker! Their scum, that's the bottom line. Women loosing their liberty and now children's cancer research being cut. Next will be Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. That should just about screw over women, children, seniors and the disabled. But men won't loose any benefits whatsoever
Dems really need to be talking more frequently about spending not being the issue. It’s the wealthy and corporations not paying their fair share that has us where we are.
Hey, you’re talking about sick children here, where’s your humanity and shouldn’t children be a priority for the republicans or is that just reserved for in the womb, once they drop the hell with them? Sickening
After running on balancing the budget and eliminating waste. I hate them with the heat of a thousand suns. (Those who voted for them only weeks ago refuse to acknowledge they’ve been played…again.)
Once those babies are born, they wash their hands from doing anything to help them. SNAP benefits will be gone. Better gun laws…. Yeah, right. They couldn’t care less about what happens to your kids once they are born!
Brian we're counting on you to block Trump at every turn. You can't appease a dictator and you can't negotiate with someone who considers himself above the law. Mahalos!
Mahalo for spotlighting this!
I lost my sister to pediatric cancer, & my mom worked feverishly on a children's research foundation her whole life. I'm heartbroken 💔, (but not surprised) by this blatant GREED.
Democrats allowed Trump to pick a drug users who’s worth 360 billion dollars to eliminate programs that’s for the betterment of the American people.He gets subsidies in the 100s of millions for space x &Tesla, he pays no tax but get tax cuts. End his subsidies & stop the tax cuts for the rich.
People who eliminate money from CHILDHOOD CANCER research to pay for tax cuts for ANYONE should be NAMED and SHAMED. Children are the future of this country, if we have one after the GOP. Please protect the future of CHILDREN in this country. WWJD?
You guys better lean hard into the messaging that the REPUBLICANS caused this shutdown. Make sure every single one of you shouts it far and wide. DAILY. Until it's reopened. There's an OPPORTUNITY here. Take it.
If Republicans cared about kids and health, they would make sure that the quality of healthcare in the red states that are in the bottom slots for health care and in the top spots for infant and child mortality would reverse positions. Instead they keep cutting funding. Not pro life. At all.
And US citizens voted for him ... Honestly, the contempt people like Putin show for ordinary people is terrible. But he seems not to be wrong in that enough propaganda will get people to support a bad leader's decisions :/
Phuquing repulsive…that vile trash musk doesn’t give twoshits about anyone but himself and his straight children. But wait, 77 mill voted for this. When will their prices be lowered - day one? How about the wars? Over day one?🙄
They are totally immoral human beings, much like the NAZI Party of the '30s and '40s; if we don't stop them, that is how American will look like; average people stripped of everything to enhance the power and wealth of the white fundamentalist uber rich
What's the context? Is this in the US? Is this guy a reporter? A politician? Who are "these people"? This is super vague, & Bluesky members are international.
THANK YOU!!!! As a mom to a Childhood Cancer Survivor, this was just appalling to see happen!! We don't get anywhere near the money needed for research. We have to Frankenstein the adult chemo drugs to use in children as it is!
There is no bottom for these people, is there? Just when you think you’ve reached the low point of their sleaze, you discover there’s a sleazy underground parking lot.
Ending funding for childhood cancer puts Americans working on research out of jobs. Not to mention, it's Big Pharma that will lose out if they ever found "a cure." You can bet Pharma lobbied for these cuts.
Republicans love when children suffer and die, look at all the school shootings they say is a part of life now. But they're still crying over one dead ceo 🤷
Who takes away funds for Cancer research for children? Of all the things this is one of the fundings that they decided to take out of the bill…it’s just crazy. Cancer doesn’t discriminates, children from both Republicans and Democrats unfortunately suffer from this horrible disease.
It'll be all picture books with "no woke" anyway, he'll use the extra on frivolous and thoroughly unwinnable lawsuits.
That settlement will always be a stain and a capitulation to bullying. Unforgivable.
These are not humans in power. They are rabid mutants that lust for all manner of ill and evil to be loose upon mankind. They are bad guys. Bad guys always their comeuppance. Always! Back into Pandora’s box, you fiends.
Butt hurt over losing that $6k raise, huh? These attempts to guilt people just don’t fly any longer. A 37 page funding bill turned into a 1547 page omnibus. Turns out funding congressional raises and conservative censorship is more important to the left than cancer research. Who knew?
I realize in this safe space you aren’t going to hear anything other than what you guys want. However, parts of the bill were on X. Of some idiotic Democrat wants to bring up less than a fraction of the entire bill without mentioning his raise, then I’ll mention it for him.
I do hope not. Here in the UK we have Muskrat trying to muscle in on our electoral process, aided and abetted by Nigel Farage #FarageRiots. Vaccination is crucial to stop lethal pandemics, it won’t show at once but, once the group immunity lessens it will strike the most vulnerable. Polio kills.
Sure it kills but I also remember in my youth a few older kids wearing leg calipers due to Polio... I think they were the "lucky" ones. Completely horrifying that anyone could consider stopping any vaccination programme. I had my Polio vaccine on a sugar lump apparently....
Taking $$$ away from #Research to #cure #childrens #cancer to give to already #billionaires is #cancelculture for sure. As in #cancel the #Middleclass the backbone of #America. #Maga you've done it to yourselves. You need serious therapy about believing your are #Lovable.
Suffer you Trump Supporters, two immigrants are taking your tax money.America will never be White again.Rob them stupid trashy people Predident Elon musk. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
After watching my then 16 month old go thru treatment, I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone. These deplorables sure don’t care about our kids being gunned down in school, their access to education or lunch in school, and now kids with cancer. I no longer care what happens to their children.
What's it doing in a CR? How much has the trillions we've spent on cancer research advanced a cure for cancer? Where is President Vegetable? Let's wait for the real President to formally take office. And Schatz is probably in the top five for dumbest Senators in history.
Yes! And he don’t give ANYTHING without getting something in return. You have to beg & buy him or you get nothing. If you have no $, then a public “show of appreciation for his kindhearted 🤢 unselfish 🤮 soul”. 😡🤬😡🤬
You know re posting this will not do a lick! It needs to go right over to the other side who claim that they don't know these things and right now the news sucks
One question from a foreigner have any of these governments put extra funding into foster care which will likely be inundated with young babies going forward.
Musk bought POTUS & he's a leader of the DOGE Ponzi scheme. He tweets for a shut down & NOW Rep want him to Speaker?
Is this Making America Great Again? All I see is "MABRA" Making All Billionaires Richer Again by stealing from kids w/cancer, elderly, veterans, sick, kids, poor, women & minorities
100% agreed! Before Moscow Mitch decided to grew a pair & retire, he should've convicted Trump on his SECOND impeachment for insurrection...which would've disqualified him from running.
Instead of treating the disease, people are complaining about the symptoms. Trump can’t Constitutionally take office

Democrats when Republicans yank funding for kids' cancer research: 'HOW COULD YOU BE SO MEAN TO THE CHILDREN?!'
Musk doesn’t need taxpayer subsidies.

And also, the post and video fail at making the “who” clear
The fact that they haven’t AND refuse to pay their “owed” taxes, is why I boycott billionaires, and why I wish you would (or could) as well.
Given no pushback, they will continue to destroy us with no remorse.
Im starting to think that they just want us gone. Men, women, children...everyone.

How much $$ did NBC just contribute to the truump presidential library fund?
That settlement will always be a stain and a capitulation to bullying. Unforgivable.
Thank you Senator Schatz
Everyone: *gesturing at everything about our society *
The rest of us are expected to either put money in their pockets, or die.
Why should we pay the Trumps yo run OUR government like their personal business?
There should be laws preventing family members from serving in one's office or benefiting from their family member.
He doesn’t look as spry as he wants to project, in my humble opinion.

I’ve never in my lifetime been more ashamed to be white.
My state spends tens of millions of dollars a year keeping foster children in hotels without proper supervision, food, and even school
They spend millions keeping kids locked away
Foster homes do not receive proper funding
