Press conference condeming Republican defeat of the Honoring Our PACT Act at Capitol

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) attends a press conference condemning the Republican defeat of the Honoring Our PACT Act. The legislation would have established a connection between military service and exposure to toxins via burn pits, easing access to healthcare for veterans and active duty members. The bill passed the Senate with 84 votes, but Republican Senators objected, claiming it contained unrelated spending. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
