"SNIP......

“I will have more to say on this later. For now, I want to thank Senator Schumer and Senator Manchin for the extraordinary effort that it took to reach this result.

“If enacted, this legislation will be historic, and I urge the Senate to move on this bill as soon as possible, and for the House to follow as well.”

Tonight, Senate Republicans unexpectedly killed the Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, which would have provided medical benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxins during their military service. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 84 to 14 in June and had been sent back to that body for a procedural cleanup after the House passed it with the expectation that it would repass easily. Tonight’s vote is being widely interpreted as revenge for the resurrection of the reconciliation package.

Attacking our veterans out of spite might not be a winning move.

5. Biden and Schumer screwed MoschowMitch's threat to block the CHIPS bill

MoscowMitch promised to block CHIPS bill if Democrats tried to do reconciliation bill. Schumer and Biden screwed MoscowMitch by having Senate vote on CHIPS first before the announcement of this package

10. It won't be "Not a winning move" if it's not trumpeted & broadcast endlessly on all media.

It needs to be driven home endlessly to penetrate the skulls of all Americans.

12. +1

11. The media choose how to present it to the public

no matter how much Democrats get out to condemn it the media control exposure of the topic.

13. The radicalized Republican party, in a temper tantrum, is willing to sacrifice veterans.
