The Moonshot program was the largest, organized effort by the U.S. government to find cancer cures. Congress voted it down.

Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.

I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.

Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017? They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.

    From now on, anyone who loses someone to cancer will not have to wonder what happened or how it could have been prevented. Death to cancer no longer has anonymity. The mask will forever be removed. We can now lay future loses and pain due to this horrible fate at the feet of Republicans and their partisan horseshit.

    Fuck, I hate those fuckers, now as much as I hate cancer!

      Since they’ve aligned themselves with cancer, I submit that transitive property is a thing. Ergo, they now are cancer.

      And you know what we do to cancer, right kids? Fire, lasers, poison and radiation.
