It would be a great moment for literally anyone to do major reporting on the cuts to cancer research but why engage with material realities when you can play imagination games instead?

The GOP is giving us so many opportunities to present a different vision while making politics miserable for MAGA.
And the democrats are failing to meet the moment.
