Jon is joined by staff writers Kasaun Wilson and Rob Christensen to talk about his fight to get the PACT Act — which gives urgently needed health care to sick veterans -— passed in the Senate this week. He talks about battling the misinformation Republicans were spewing and the behind-the-scenes work it took to make the victory happen. Plus, Kay and Rob on their struggle to behave in the Senate gallery, Jon’s Bernie Sanders impression, and what the Senate has in common with an assisted living facility.

“This is an embarrassment – to the Senate, to the country, to the founders, and all that they profess to hold dear. If this is America first, then America is fucked.” Jon Stewart joined an impassioned press conference on Thursday, calling out Republican Senators who are blocking passage of the PACT Act in the Senate. The bill will expand healthcare and benefits for the more than three million veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxins during their military service. The Senate originally passed the legislation in June with extraordinary bipartisan support. The House passed it shortly thereafter, and it arrived back to the Senate on Wednesday for final passage. But a group of Republican lawmakers, led by Sen. Pat Toomey, decided to block the measure for purely political reasons, costing sick veterans time they do not have.

Watch the full press conference, including passionate speeches from veterans and their families, here: https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1dRKZlEgpabJB
