Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Pleased to see POTUS' commitment to pediatric #CancerResearch. Federal investment is especially crucial to progress in #ChildhoodCancer.

This increased funding for childhood cancer data intiatives is an example of the type of critical research that can be done with increased funding for NIH.

HHS Doubles AI-Backed Childhood Cancer Research Funding

Following an Executive Order by President Trump, HHS will increase funding of data-centered pediatric cancer research.

Cutting Medicaid will have real impacts on families in #OH13, like Mariah and her daughter, who rely on Medicaid to afford treatments for Mariah's daughter, who lives with a spinal condition. Rep. Sykes will not stop fighting for this family and the thousands of others in #OH13 who rely on Medicaid.

Ohioans cannot afford to lose access to their health care and government services, just so the richest 1% can see a tax cut that is nearly four times the median family income.

Rep. Sykes works for you, not billionaires, which is why she cannot support Republicans’ reconciliation bill.
