The GOP-controlled House had approved funding for childhood cancer research months ago, but the legislation languished in the Democratic-led Senate, contradicting claims by Democratic lawmakers like Senator Elizabeth Warren that Republicans blocked the funding.

Early Saturday morning, Congress passed a scaled-down spending bill as the government faced a potential prolonged shutdown. Leading up to this, critics, including tech billionaire Elon Musk, criticized the proposed 1,500-page legislation for containing “excessive spending, special interest giveaways, and pork-barrel politics.”

During the negotiations, Warren accused Republicans of targeting funding for pediatric cancer research. “What this bill says is all about eliminating funding for research on pediatric cancer, early detection of cervical and breast cancer, children with Down syndrome, and sickle cell anemia,” she stated on CNN. Warren linked this to Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration’s incoming Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), calling it an effort to prioritize tax cuts for billionaires.

Musk fired back on social media, branding Warren’s comments as false. “Lyin’ Liz Warren,” Musk wrote, echoing Trump’s nickname for Warren.

Conservatives pushed back on Warren’s claims, emphasizing that the House had passed a stand-alone bill for pediatric cancer research funding with overwhelming bipartisan support (384-4) on March 5. However, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had not acted on the legislation. Critics suggested that Democrats intentionally held the funding to use it as a “bargaining chip” in negotiations.

“Democrats blocked funding for child cancer research,” stated the conservative platform Libs of TikTok. Others echoed this sentiment, arguing that the bill’s delay revealed political maneuvering rather than genuine concerns for children.

An op-ed in the Washington Examiner criticized the legislative approach: “If this funding is so important, it can be passed as a stand-alone bill—how the government is supposed to work—instead of cramming it into a 1,500-page mess.”

Ultimately, the funding for childhood cancer research was included in the final bill passed by the Senate, allocating $12.6 million annually through 2031. Fox News Digital reached out to Warren’s office for further comment but received no response as of Sunday morning.
