I am a pediatrician, one of the most important rolls pediatricians have done in the last several decades has been the development of screening tolls for genetic defects to screened at birth. The diseases screened have increased in number over the years as interventions in many diseases have progressed. DOGE has suspended this important committee, just days before it was to update the list. This is a major crime against the vulnerable.

1. Come on dems! Simple 15-30 second ads, target in red states

that just list what republicans have done. We know if republican voters go to Fox or their favorite right wing website they won’t learn about any cuts.

4. i used to b a hospice volunteer.

i didnt see many kids, but we did have 1 family w a kid w 1 of these disorders. i’m sorry i dont remember what it was. but it was 1 that if u knew, u cd treat it.

his mom, while caring for this severely disabled child, went on a crusade to get testing for it for all newborns. this is crushing that her hard work is gonna b flushed.
the suffering this will bring…

Do not prevent, diagnose or treat illness or disease.

The weak, infirm, ill must all die.

Survival of the fittest is the new American value.

Mango Mussolini is obviously genetically defective.

10. This is the irony of the fascist psychopath leaders.

They are the genetically deviant ones.
