So, yesterday’s response was a bit unexpected. Thanks, @jonstewart for the shoutout. A lot of people are asking for clarification about the toxic exposure fund and the facts around it. Here’s a deeper dive on this part of the #PACTAct. The first question we need to answer is, when was the toxic exposure fund added to the bill? This was added prior to the first Senate votes in June.

For those following the SFC Heath Robinson Honoring Our PACT Act, the comprehensive toxic exposure bill for our veterans, A LOT happened in the past few days. I want to take a minute to break down what happened and why. Here’s a deep dive thread on #PACTAct On June 16th, the Senate voted 84-14 to pass the PACT Act. For veteran advocates, like myself, who had been working on this for years, it looked like the bill was a done deal. The House had scheduled it for a vote just a few working days after the Senate passed it.
