Zero for breast & cervical cancer & apparently most of the 5 tenets of kid cancer research were not funded.
But lump successfully cut any restrictions on tech mfg in China & NO provision to prohibit revenge deep fake porn.
Sick fkrs.
Also, DC will not be allowed to control some sports stadium in or near DC.
Lots VERY wrong with this. It is NOT the big win for Americans the media hoopla would have us believe.
All credit to Dems for getting anything passed.
Please always pay attention to what the media is NOT saying because therein lies the important facts!
There was a great thread around 3am Central this morning wherein I posted a LOT of pertinent facts from credible sources.

The path for the NFLs Washington Commanders to return to the nations capital is clear after an on-again, off-again saga in Congress ended early Saturday with a postmidnight reprieve.
The U.S. Senate passed a resolution to transfer the land including old RFK Stadium from the federal government to the District of Columbia. The D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act passed by voice vote at roughly 1:15 a.m. after more than a year of lobbying and support from Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., district Mayor Muriel Bowser, Commanders controlling owner Josh Harris and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
We are extremely grateful that our elected officials have come together on a bipartisan basis to give Washington, D.C., the opportunity to decide on the future of the RFK Stadium site, Harris said. This bill will create an equal playing field so that all potential future locations for the home of the Washington Commanders can be fairly considered and give our franchise the opportunity to provide the best experience for all of our fans.
The RFK Stadium land provision was part of Congress initial short-term spending bill Tuesday before it was torpedoed by President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the latter of whom amplified misinformation about the site on his social media platform X. Two versions of the Houses slimmed-down bill, including the one that passed Friday night to avoid a government shutdown, did not include it.
