The massive government funding package just failed badly in the Senate, 45-55.
Needed 60.
Zero Democrats voted for it.
SEVEN Republicans opposed it:
Budd
Johnson
Lee
Paul
Moody
Rick Scott
Tuberville
(John Thune switched his vote to no for procedural reasons.)

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?
