Republicans Cut Child Cancer Research From Funding Bill After Musk's Meddling

Republicans removed funding for child cancer research from a new version of a bill to fund the government after Elon Musk torpedoed the previous deal.

Less than 48 hours before defaulting and triggering a shutdown, Congress is still scrambling to pass a stopgap funding resolution that will keep the U.S. government funded and functional through the next few months. After several starts and stops, Republicans were reduced to infighting on Wednesday after Elon Musk — Trump’s “first buddy” and government “efficiency” adviser — rejected a proposed funding deal and called for a legislative freeze and government shutdown until Trump’s inauguration in late January.


As a result, the new stripped-down funding bill proposed on Thursday is literally throwing out the baby with the bathwater: It will exclude $190 million for the bipartisan “Give Kids a Chance” program for child cancer research. Sam Stein of The Bulwark points out that the new bill also excludes funding for research on premature labor, sickle cell disease treatment, early detection of breast and cervical cancer, the Rural Broadband Protection Act, an anti-deepfake porn bill, and more.



“Fuck cancer. Especially pediatric cancer,” Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) wrote on X. “These people want to punish these previous little kids to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history.”


President-elect Donald Trump endorsed the new funding bill on Thursday afternoon, writing on Truth Social: “Speaker Mike Johnson and the House have come to a very good Deal for the American People. The newly agreed to American Relief Act of 2024 will keep the Government open, fund our Great Farmers and others, and provide relief for those severely impacted by the devastating hurricanes.”


“A VERY important piece, VITAL to the America First Agenda, was added as well — The date of the very unnecessary Debt Ceiling will be pushed out two years, to January 30, 2027,” Trump added. “All Republicans, and even the Democrats, should do what is best for our Country, and vote ‘YES for this bill.”


Democrats have been trolling Trump since Musk sank the original funding deal on Wednesday, referring to the billionaire as “President Musk” after he bent congressional Republicans to his will. Musk, like Trump, seems pleased with the new version of the legislation. He posted an image of the amount of pages of the now-dead deal compared to the substantially smaller number of pages of the new bill, adding a laughing emoji.



Democrats are not pleased. “The Trump-Musk-Johnson proposal [is] laughable,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) told reporters.


The House is expected to vote on the new version of the bill as soon as Thursday night.

IF THE DEMOCRATS DON'T HOWL LONG AND LOUD ABOUT THIS AND RUB THE GOP'S FACES IN THEIR OWN SHIT VIA THE MEDIA, THEN THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BE IN POWER.

THERE SHOULD NOT BE A MAN, WOMAN OR CHILD, OR EVEN A FAMILY PET, WHO DOESN'T HEAR ABOUT THE GOP CUTTING CHILDREN'S CANCER RESEARCH.
 
"Conservatives argued online that the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act was passed as a standalone bill by the Republican-controlled House earlier this year, but held up by the Democratic-controlled Senate. The House did pass a version of the bill in March, but the Senate had not voted on it." Follow the links. Democrats screwed the pooch again for kids with cancer.
