They cut pediatric cancer research out of the bill after President Musk got involved. Pediatric cancer research. Merry Christmas.

And they’re really sad thing about that is it must didn’t want that in the bill he could just write a check to cover the price of the research. As bad as we thought a Trump reelection was going to be, this has got to be a whole new level of the worst.

The worst part is that the 'saving' is such a pittance - not on an individual level, I'd be super-stoked with $190million - but on a nationwide spending level .... its nothing, trifling, petty, ridiculous, mean, short-sighted & just plain stupid.

In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, of course. I thought Jesus said suffer the little children to come unto me. But I guess they read "Suffer, little children!" If I remember correctly, there was also something that Jesus said about a millstone as well.

It was Rand Paul that blocked it and it was only passed through the House back in March. Senator Paul wouldn’t let it through the Senate, so they tried again through the budget. They had to remove it, then he decided to not block it anymore

It takes Elon Musk 6 days 18 hrs 41 mins and 1 sec to earn the $190 million needed to fund Gabriella Miller's cancer foundation. Gabriella Miller died from a brain tumor at age 10 in 2013. Elon said, nope. Don't care.

“what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is!" Clark Griswold

Musk and Trump are different. Trump has always been about “ratings” and entertainment. Musk is none of that. He is strictly about power. Doesn’t give a F about ratings. I never thought I’d say this, but Musk is more dangerous than Trump. Trump is a useful idiot.

And now the children pay but the GOP really do not really care about children. As long as you give birth, whether you want to or not, they don’t care what happens to them after that…example: Sandy Hook, Parkland, Columbine and on and on. So no surprise. They don’t care if they have food to eat…all

They cut EVERYTHING that normally would be a no brainer NOT to cut. Then again a guy who’s employees faint on the assembly line, have crazy numbers of serious accidents and doesn’t bat an eyelash wouldn’t give two shits anyway. Unfuckingbelievable. 😖

They define such any such needs as a sign of weakness in the person, and are establishing that being rich enough to pay for whatever they want and more is a sign of strength. We could change that, if we were organized and determined. Nations with social democracy have done so.

That shows exactly who they are. They make cutting pediatric cancer research a focus. And smug Christian, Mike Johnson, supports cutting this while also supporting pedophiles and and sex offenders. They are inhumane and self-servicing turds.

What a team they make. One gets pediatric cancer research funds cut because... Efficiency? The other gets 1 "charity" dissolved, gets banned from serving on a non-profit board for 10 years & family members legally forced to take certified nfp board training & so much more... Quite the pair

I have blocked the "patriot" who wanted, not to debate, not to share citations/links and add to community knowledge, but rather to throw insults at "libs" overall. I have no tolerance for rude behaviour and will not allow it here in my "digital living room" where you are all kind enough to visit.

"While the Senate did not return the entire $190 million worth of funding to the [CR], Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) pushed the chamber to pass the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0, devoting $63 million to extend the original measure..." $190M cut $63M back *LESS than 1/2 IS NOT EQUAL*

The FIRST question from every reporter’s mouth and the leading story on EVERY news program needs to be “WHY IS ELON MUSK INVOLVED IN OUR GOVERNMENT?” You don’t ask that question, you normalize his behavior and contribute to the demise of our democracy.

Trump and his family have never struggled. They have always been wealthy and have been blessed with good health. No one has suffered a tragedy. They are unscathed when it comes to pain and suffering.

If people don't stop thinking it's exaggeration Elon, the GOP are planning a genocide on the poor and working class, it will be too late like global warming.

So hundreds of millions of Americans are actually going to DO NOTHING AGAINST THE BIGGEST THREAT USA HAS FACED???? IT'S ONLT 2 MEN PEOPLE!!!! PERMANENTLY FIX THEM!!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!

In the overall budget $190 million is pocket change. With every action Republicans take they highlight their cruelty. Couldn’t they have dialed back disaster relief from $100 billion to $99.8 billion and give $200 million for kids? The bottom line is they didn’t want to.

Musk doesn't even value his own children. It's not surprising to me that saving children from pain & death is not his priority. Look how he interfered with that rescue attempt of children trapped in a cave. His thinking is confined to enriching himself & exercising the power that comes with riches.

As Elon continues to share his charitable concern for the least amongst us, Matthew 19:24 certainly has become more understandable. 24) "And again, I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." bsky.app/profile/news...

Relax. There was only a laughable $190M for kids cancer to begin with. A miniscule amount. Americans are happy to spend billions of taxpayer $ on private stadiums. American have visceral contempt for kids. They value cars, guns and tax cuts. Dems gave up on programs that benefit kids.
