. Meanwhile we got real people suffering from cancer and they get nothing 
. A bill becoming law is super important for those kids and families, so can't the politicians focus on helping them instead of playing with the Epstein investigation? It seems like there's always someone trying to distract us from what really matters 
. I just wish we could have a more balanced discussion where we don’t have to pick between two extreme things 
.
Just great, Trump wants to move on from Epstein's death... meanwhile thousands of kids are finally gonna get some proper medical help 
The cancer bill has been a long time coming & it's about bloody time we saw some progress 
. Can't believe he thinks we're that gullible tho... trying to distract us with fake news 
. Anyway, glad someone's actually talking about the Epstein case in-depth, Major Garrett seems like one of the few decent journalists left 
. The fact that Trump is trying to shift attention away from his own connections is pretty shady if you ask me 
. But on the bright side, that pediatric cancer bill finally becoming law is a huge deal! It could save so many lives 
. We need more of those kinds of wins in our country, not just more drama and controversy 
. But, you know, Trump's comments about the Epstein investigation have got me wondering... isn't it weird that he's trying to shift attention away from his own connections to the guy? Like, doesn't everyone deserve a fair investigation? 
!
. Like, can't he just focus on what's really important for once? A pediatric cancer bill is a huge deal and it's finally passed into law after years of being stuck in limbo 
. But does Trump have to bring up Epstein again? It's like he's trying to distract us from his own shady dealings 
.
. I'm not taking sides here, but it's clear that Trump is more concerned with protecting the interests of big pharma than the health and well-being of our citizens 
. It's all about politics as usual, folks... 
Do you guys think this bill will actually make a difference in people's lives? 
. I get it, the Epstein investigation is important, but come on, can't we just focus on one thing at a time? 
. I mean, come on, it's basic public health 101! We should be prioritizing the health and safety of our medical professionals 
.
Like, what's so hard about investigating Jeffrey Epstein's death when it has major implications for justice and accountability? 
And instead of taking action, he's trying to sweep it under the rug like a dirty little secret 
. Meanwhile, thousands of kids are going to benefit from that pediatric cancer bill, but I'm sure Trump will find a way to politicize that too... like maybe tying vaccine mandates to his own agenda 
.
. And what's up with his comments about vaccine mandates for healthcare workers? Did he just not hear that there have been major outbreaks in several states recently? 
. Where's the evidence on all this?
! As much as we love to complain about politics and celebrities being out of touch, this one's definitely something we can all get behind. The fact that thousands of kids are going to have access to better care and treatment is seriously a game-changer... it's about time we started prioritizing the little guys for once 
.
. It just feels like he's only bringing it up now because there's some other issue going on and we need to move on. But I get it, some people are still concerned about Epstein... just wish our president would focus on the positive stuff for once 
. Meanwhile, a bill that could actually make a difference in the lives of thousands of kids and families with cancer finally passed
