GOP Cuts Child Cancer Funding After Musk’s Intervention
With a government shutdown looming, Congress hastily passed a stripped-down spending bill after Elon Musk rejected a previous deal. The new legislation, endorsed by President-elect Trump, eliminates funding for crucial programs including child cancer research and other critical health initiatives. This drastic reduction in spending was celebrated by Musk and Trump, while Democrats strongly denounced the bill’s cuts. A House vote is expected imminently.
