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

Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA) speaks at a press conference condemning Republican Senators for defeating 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 originallu passed the Senate with 84 votes, but Republican Senators later objected, claiming it contained unrelated spending. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
