These senators who voted away access to healthcare for tens of millions of Americans really have the audacity to self righteously posture & pretend that they didn't just bow to the administration who has proven that they do not care if Americans starve or die from lack of healthcare access.

We’re eliminating programs that save millions of people from disease
And ending a lot of research that has cured diseases and will cure more
Because we need to funnel resources into AI
Because someday it may be able to figure out cures for disease
Do I have that right?
