Some items removed from the new budget bill:

✳️ Funding for research on childhood cancer
✳️ Prohibition of creating deepfake pornography featuring the faces of ordinary citizens
✳️ Prevention of internet companies overcharging in rural areas
✳️ Research on preterm births
✳️ Research on sickle cell anemia
✳️ Research on early detection of breast and cervical cancer
✳️ Research on Down syndrome
✳️ Requiring hotels to be transparent in pricing

These removals can be considered the first "achievement" of President Trump's second term—an "achievement" made possible, inexplicably, by the Democrats.

Republican budgets are brutally ableist and discriminatory.
