because they wanted to use the cancer kids as political leverage in their games. They didn't want it dealt with separately. Evil.

out...it's all on him and his lackey, Trump, who is either clueless as to what's going on, or couldn't care less.

btw, funding also included $$ for Special Needs kids...thought you'd at least be just a bit irked by that...but apparently not...Rule #1...NEVER disagree with Trump...no matter the price.

Why do you like killing kids so much?

and then President Biden...then, when it didn't include Musk & Trump's most important debt ceiling increase that would make room for the trillions in tax breaks for corps and 1%ers...they (Musk (Boss) and Trump (Lackey)) hacked away the Pediatric Cancer Research funding...by no means requested by any Dems.

Own your vote, as they say.

there because of Musk and Trump.

It's all in the Congressional Record now...hard for you to swallow...I get it, but it's the truth...try to deal with it. Thus far, you and your buds aren't doing very well on that score.

evidence to prove Musk killed funding for Pediatric Cancer Research...here's an excerpt from just one of many journalistic investigations...
-----------------
For political veterans, however, the most striking absence in the revised bill was the language that would have extended funding for the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Program.

The program, named after a 10-year-old Virginia girl who died from an inoperable brain tumor in 2013, was something of a miracle to begin with. When it passed in 2014, the Obama administration and congressional Republicans had been at a standstill over federal spending. Sequestration cuts had taken a big bite out of the budget of the National Institutes of Health. The $126 million that the bill authorized over a ten-year period to help fund pediatric cancer research was minor compared to the $1.55 billion the NIH had lost in appropriations. But it was also the product of painstaking negotiations, with then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) expending significant political capital to ensure that the law got passed.

When it did, it resembled a rare moment of serenity in an increasingly bitter and divided capital. Gabriella Miller’s family, who started the Smashing Walnuts Foundation, attended the signing ceremony.

“It was a turning point in pediatric cancer research and I’ve never been prouder of the entire Congress for rallying behind it,” recalled Rory Cooper, a former Cantor aide.

But the funding needed to be extended. And the bill that the current crop of congressional leaders agreed to earlier this week did just that, devoting an estimated $190 million to the program through 2033.

The presumption among the compromise bill’s authors and advocates was that it would sail through. Rep. Jennifer Wexton and Sen. Tim Kaine, both from the Miller family’s home state of Virginia, put out a press release applauding its inclusion in the continuing resolution. The Facebook page for the Smashing Walnuts Foundation put up a post declaring that the “Gabriella Miller Kids First 2.0” had passed “and will be signed into law!” It was signed by Gabriella’s mother, Ellyn Miller. “From the bottom of my heart,” it read, “THANK YOU!”

That was December 17. By December 19, the provision had been axed from the bill, after Musk went on an X rampage, tweeting that the bill was a Christmas tree that was antithetical to conservative, small-government ambitions and threatening the primary lawmakers who supported it.

Plutocrats, like Musk, have no idea how government works...they are like Bullies in a China Shop...and people suffer as a result...even clueless people like yourself.

Because that would be the person that I would blame for not having enough floor time.

We all know that's just an excuse, they create an emergency and then ram through a whole bunch of s*** that nobody has any time to read. It has to stop.

Musk/Trump took it out at the very last minute...it's ALL on them...the Dems didn't ask for the program to be dropped.

Maybe you need to read your own link on how the Senate works.

...Read all about it in the attached article...here's an excerpt...Bottom Line...funding for Pediatric Cancer Research was removed due to Musk and Trump.
-----------------------
Trump's opposition to what was considered must-pass legislation reinjected a sense of uncertainty and political brinkmanship that was reminiscent of his first term in office. It was a dramatic turn of events for House Speaker Mike Johnson, who negotiated the bill and has been undermined by Trump as he faces reelection for his post in just a couple of weeks. Republicans have a slim majority, raising the possibility of a replay of leadership disputes that paralyzed the House a year ago.

Many lawmakers were in the middle of holiday and year-end celebrations with staff when Trump came out against the legislation.

"I've been here 14 years, OK? So nothing up here surprises me anymore," said Rep. Steve Womack, a senior Republican appropriator from Arkansas. "We shouldn't be in this mess."

You can't win against the truth...but feel free to continue making a fool of yourself.

I doubt most of the senators really knew what they voted for, because the whole charade is designed to just shove pork up America's ass.

"There wasn't floor time". Yeah, no shit, by design.

remove the debt ceiling which we were consistently against doing in the past. Can’t make it up.

cancers. Absolutely disgusting...but par for the course with the emerging Oligarchy.
