Today the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will kick nearly 12 million off their health insurance, the majority of whom have #Medicaid. @smith.senate.gov & @klobuchar.senate.gov, thank you for voting no and standing up to #protectmedicaid for Minnesotans and cancer patients everywhere.

Future Cancer Cures in Jeopardy as President Proposes Massive Cuts to National Cancer Institute WASHINGTON, D.C. –  Today, the president released his final proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026 which contains $4.531 billion for the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

Today POTUS released his final proposed budget for FY26, which slices 25.2% from #HHS, including approx.:

• 37.2% cut to #NCI
• 40.4% cut to #NIH
• 53.3% cut to #CDC

This will not only stall scientific breakthroughs but impact our ability to combat the rising incidence of #cancer nationwide. (1/2)

Medicaid is a lifeline for cancer patients, survivors, and their families. @acscan.bsky.social MN volunteers from 5 of our 8 congressional districts got together today to write postcards to our representatives and senators asking them to #ProtectMedicaid.

@klobuchar.senate.gov
@smith.senate.gov

Millions face losing health insurance under Republican proposal CBO documents reveal that if enacted, the proposed subsidy rollback would strip coverage from millions, particularly hitting low-income adults.

The proposed #Medicaid cuts would result in at least 8.6 million people losing health coverage.

That number could jump to 13.7 million by 2034 if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire at the end of this year, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

#ProtectMedicaid

Medicaid provides essential health coverage to people across the country, including those with cancer. Any cuts to Medicaid could jeopardize lifesaving care for millions of cancer patients. @repangiecraig.bsky.social, can I count on you to oppose cuts & #ProtectMedicaid?

Congress: Commit to voting NO on any cuts to Medicaid ACS CAN is the leading cancer advocacy organization that is working every day to make cancer issues a national priority.

Despite so many cancer patients & advocates speaking out, #Medicaid, a program that provides lifesaving health coverage to nearly 80 million people, is still under attack.

Send a message to your lawmaker asking them reject any cuts to Medicaid.

Thank you @repangiecraig.bsky.social for talking about the importance of #ProtectingMedicaid tonight at your CD2 Town Hall! Cuts to Medicaid put cancer patients, survivors, and those at risk for the disease in jeopardy. Access to health care isn’t optional, it’s essential.

WHAT. A. GAME.

The Lunar Owls get the first win in Unrivaled history 🦉

Countdown to game time. First up, here’s a quick refresher about @unrivaledwbb.bsky.social mixed with some views.

Cancer advocates are disappointed that Congress failed to advance a bipartisan year-end health care package that would have made a big difference in the fight against cancer.

We call on the 119th Congress to prioritize these lifesaving bills. www.fightcancer.org/releases/con...

Please take a moment right now to reach out to your Member of Congress to ask them to pass the year-end package, which contains provisions to increase access to early detection tests for cancer!

Urge Congress to support multi-cancer early detection tests before the year ends ACS CAN is the leading cancer advocacy organization that is working every day to make cancer issues a national priority.

URGENT: Congress has just days to pass a year-end package, which includes a bill to make multi-cancer #EarlyDetection tests more available.

Dallas Cowboys cheerleader tells of living with alopecia, dancing on TV without wig Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Armani Latimer shone brighter than the 15 bedazzled blue stars on her uniform Monday night during the Cowboys’ Monday Night Football …

This one was near and dear to my heart. Got to sit down with DCC Armani. Listen to her story— beyond MNF’s empowering display. She is such a light.

As someone who has also lost her mom, love that you've found a space to rant and grief post. We need them! Losing our moms suck. Here to be a support in any way. ❤️

Christine's grandson Ollie has brain cancer. New drugs have given his family hope during his second occurrence. But new treatments and drugs can only be discovered with more cancer research.

Join Christine and urge Congress to increase funding for #CancerResearch in the next budget: bit.ly/3Vw34Xt
